In short
What is the difference between eKYROS and Next Level CMS?
eKYROS is an electronic medical record and client management system for pregnancy resource centers, in the field since 1999 and owned by FundEasy. Next Level CMS is a client management platform launched in 2017 and operated as a division of Heartbeat International, the pregnancy-help affiliate network. The practical differences are clinical depth, reporting, and ownership.
eKYROS documents medical charting with lockable forms and remote medical director sign-off on ultrasounds. It produces a one-click affiliate report for Care Net. Next Level publishes a client portal, secure messaging, and role-based permissions, but does not publish detailed feature documentation, an integrations list, or an API.
Next Level is priced from $324 to $1,600 per year ($30 to $150 per month) across six tiers by database size. eKYROS is priced from $900 to $2,399 per year across three plans, with unlimited users and locations.

Built to grow with your center
A plan that keeps pace as your center grows
Next Level starts at $30 a month, but that price covers 500 records, and staff count toward the total. Its pricing has six tiers. Most centers pass 500 quickly, and the bill moves at every step after that.
eKYROS has three plans: up to 2,500 names, then 2,501 to 10,000, and a top plan with no limit. Unlimited users (*up to 250 user accounts per center), unlimited data, unlimited locations, online booking, the call center, and the PlusLink network come with every plan, so growth does not add line items and your price stays predictable.
eKYROS is the trusted choice for over 57% of pregnancy centers. We have served centers since 1999, and eKYROS is the trusted standard in the pregnancy center world.
