Choosing the right community health software can feel overwhelming. Between HRSN billing, CalAIM reporting, OHA compliance, and care coordination, your CBO needs a platform that actually fits how community-based organizations work — not a watered-down enterprise EHR.

We compared the 7 best community health software platforms for CBOs in 2026 across pricing, compliance, ease of use, and HRSN/SDoH features. Here's the honest breakdown.

⚡ TL;DR: If you're a CBO doing HRSN billing, CalAIM, or OHA reporting, Community Health 360 (CH360) is the only platform purpose-built for your workflow. Enterprise tools (Unite Us, Salesforce Health Cloud) are powerful but expensive and slow to deploy. Generic case management tools (CharityTracker, Apricot 360) lack Medicaid billing automation.

🥇 1. Community Health 360 (CH360)

Best Overall for CBOs

💼 Best for: Community-based organizations doing HRSN/SDoH care coordination, Medicaid billing, and state compliance reporting in Oregon, California, and Washington.
💲 Pricing: $49–$299/month based on org size (Starter ≤10 staff, Growth 11–50, Pro 51–100+).

Community Health 360 (CH360) is the only community health software purpose-built for CBOs — not retrofitted from a generic case management tool or enterprise EHR. It handles the full workflow end-to-end: client intake → REALD/SOGI screening → service delivery → HRSN billing → state reporting → closed-loop referrals. Where competitors force you to bolt on Medicaid billing or hire consultants to configure compliance templates, CH360 ships with OHA 1115 Waiver, CalAIM, and Washington MTP 2.0 logic baked in from day one.

✨ Standout Features

👍 Pros

  • Affordable for small/mid CBOs — transparent $49–$299/mo
  • Live in under 7 days — no 6-month implementation
  • Built-in compliance scorecard tracks gaps in real time
  • THW worker tracking with 90-day CEU alerts (Oregon)

👎 Cons

  • Currently optimized for OR, CA, WA (more states rolling out 2026)
  • Not designed for hospitals or large health systems

💡 Why CBOs choose CH360:

"We replaced 3 tools and cut quarterly reporting from 40 hours to 4." — CBO Director, Oregon

🥈 2. Unite Us

Best for Large Multi-State Networks

💼 Best for: Statewide health information exchanges and large CCO/MCO networks coordinating thousands of CBOs.
💲 Pricing: Custom enterprise contracts, typically $50K–$500K+/year.

Unite Us is the gold standard for large-scale referral networks. If you're a payer, CCO, or state agency wiring up 200+ CBOs, this is the platform. For individual CBOs, it's often overkill — and you typically join someone else's Unite Us network rather than buying it directly. Their analytics and outcome tracking are best-in-class for value-based care contracts, but the price tag and implementation timeline put it out of reach for most small and mid-sized organizations.

👍 Pros

  • Largest CBO network footprint in the US
  • Robust closed-loop referral analytics
  • Strong outcome tracking for value-based care

👎 Cons

  • Expensive — typically $50K–$500K+/year
  • 6–12 month implementation timeline
  • Limited HRSN billing (referrals ≠ claims)
  • Can feel like "free data entry for the network"

🥉 3. Findhelp (formerly Aunt Bertha)

Best Free Resource Directory

💼 Best for: CBOs that need a searchable resource directory and basic referral sending — without billing or case management.
💲 Pricing: Free tier available; paid network/closed-loop tiers are custom.

Findhelp (formerly Aunt Bertha) offers a core search experience that is genuinely free for CBOs and consumers, which is why it powers many state 211 lines. But it's a directory + referral tool — not community health software for running your organization. Most CBOs use it alongside a true case management platform like CH360 to fill the gap between "finding resources" and "documenting and billing the work."

👍 Pros

  • Free tier covers basic referral sending
  • Massive resource directory (500K+ programs)
  • Easy to adopt with zero training

👎 Cons

  • No HRSN billing, case notes, or compliance reporting
  • Closed-loop referral tracking requires paid tier
  • Not a standalone solution

4️⃣ Apricot 360 (by Bonterra)

Best for Generic Nonprofit Case Management

💼 Best for: Nonprofits doing general case management without Medicaid billing requirements.
💲 Pricing: Typically starts around $200/month, plus implementation/configuration fees.

Apricot 360 (by Bonterra) is a configurable nonprofit case management platform. It's flexible, but you'll spend significant time (and money) building the configuration yourself — and it has no native HRSN/SDoH billing. Great if you're a generic nonprofit running scholarship programs or food assistance; painful if you need Medicaid claims out of the box and don't have a budget for a six-figure implementation consultant.

👍 Pros

  • Highly customizable forms and workflows
  • Strong outcome reporting
  • Established vendor with 20+ years in market

👎 Cons

  • Steep configuration curve — most CBOs need a consultant
  • No HRSN billing or state-specific compliance templates
  • UI feels dated compared to modern SaaS tools

5️⃣ CharityTracker / CaseWorthy

Best Budget Option for Small Charities

💼 Best for: Small charities, food pantries, and faith-based orgs needing simple client tracking.
💲 Pricing: CharityTracker starts around $60/month; CaseWorthy is custom enterprise pricing.

CharityTracker (and its enterprise sibling CaseWorthy) is the budget pick on this list. CharityTracker is affordable and easy; CaseWorthy is more powerful but considerably more expensive. Neither was designed for the HRSN/Medicaid CBO use case, but both remain popular with food pantries, faith-based orgs, and small community charities that just need to track who walked through the door this week.

👍 Pros

  • Cheapest option on this list
  • Network sharing across local charities
  • Quick to onboard

👎 Cons

  • No HRSN billing or Medicaid claim generation
  • Limited reporting customization
  • Not built for state compliance (OHA/DHCS/HCA)

6️⃣ Julota

Best for EMS & Public Safety Integration

💼 Best for: Community paramedicine, mobile crisis teams, and EMS-CBO partnerships.
💲 Pricing: Custom — not publicly published.

Julota shines when your CBO works alongside fire, EMS, or law enforcement — common in mobile crisis and community paramedicine programs. It's HIPAA + CJIS compliant and excels at cross-agency data sharing. For pure CBO workflows without a public safety partnership, it's a heavier (and pricier) tool than you need, with a learning curve aimed at first responders rather than care coordinators.

👍 Pros

  • Strong cross-agency sharing (EMS ↔ CBO ↔ behavioral health)
  • HIPAA + CJIS compliant
  • Real-time field communication tools

👎 Cons

  • Pricing is custom and not transparent
  • Overkill for CBOs not partnered with public safety
  • Learning curve for non-EMS staff

7️⃣ Salesforce Health Cloud

Best Enterprise Build-Your-Own

💼 Best for: Large health systems, ACOs, and well-funded organizations with internal Salesforce admins.
💲 Pricing: $300+/user/month base, plus implementation costs typically $50K–$500K+.

Salesforce Health Cloud is infinitely customizable — and infinitely expensive. You're essentially buying a platform and building your community health software on top of it. It's a fantastic fit for ACOs and large health systems with internal Salesforce admins on payroll, but most CBOs lack the budget or technical staff to make this viable. Expect a six-figure implementation before you see your first dashboard.

👍 Pros

  • Limitless customization and integrations
  • Enterprise-grade security and scalability
  • Massive third-party app ecosystem

👎 Cons

  • $300+/user/month base, plus $50K–$500K+ implementation
  • Requires Salesforce admins to maintain
  • Nothing HRSN/CBO-specific out of the box

🧭 How to Choose the Right Community Health Software

Ask yourself these 5 questions before signing any contract:

  1. Do you bill Medicaid for HRSN/SDoH services? → You need native HRSN billing (CH360).
  2. Do you have under 100 staff? → Avoid enterprise tools (Unite Us, Salesforce). Pick CH360 or Apricot.
  3. Are you in OR, CA, or WA? → State-specific compliance matters — CH360 is the only platform with OHA, CalAIM, and MTP 2.0 templates baked in.
  4. Do you need to be live in under 30 days? → Skip Salesforce and Unite Us (6+ month builds).
  5. Do you handle PHI? → Confirm HIPAA compliance with BAA (CH360, Unite Us, Salesforce all qualify).

🏁 Final Verdict

🏆 Best Overall for CBOs: Community Health 360 (CH360) — the only platform purpose-built for HRSN, CalAIM, and OHA workflows at a price small/mid CBOs can actually afford ($49–$299/mo).

🌐 Best for Networks: Unite Us (if you're a CCO or state agency).

💵 Best Free Add-On: Findhelp (pair with CH360 for resource directory).
