Where they actually differ
Hippo Manager is built around affordability and simplicity - unlimited patients and users on its core plan, with straightforward enough setup that clinics can generally self-onboard.
ezyVet is built around diagnostic integration depth, particularly for clinics already invested in the IDEXX ecosystem. That depth rewards real configuration investment and comes at a meaningfully higher per-user price.
Which one fits you
- Choose Hippo Manager if you're a small, budget-conscious general practice that wants straightforward EMR functionality without a steep learning curve.
- Choose ezyVet if you're a specialty or multi-doctor hospital running a high volume of in-house diagnostics on IDEXX equipment.
Factor in ezyVet's separate implementation fees when comparing total cost, not just the per-user subscription price.
