If your agency runs a multi-tool stack, integration ecosystem matters as much as core features. PointClickCare has the largest marketplace (350+ certified partners); AlayaCare has the most modern API; AxisCare leads on non-medical partners; HHAeXchange leads on Medicaid and payer connectivity. And HeyHomeCare integrates natively with five of the six major platforms.
No agency-management platform does everything. The moment you add background checks, payroll, accounting, or an AI inbound layer, your core platform’s integration ecosystem becomes the thing that decides whether your stack is coherent or a mess of CSV exports. For multi-tool operators, extensibility is a first-class buying criterion.
Two questions matter: how big is the ecosystem (does the tool you need already integrate?), and how deep is each integration (real-time native, or a nightly export)? Big-but-shallow and small-but-deep are very different experiences.
The biggest certified-integration ecosystem in post-acute. If you run many tools, the odds your stack already integrates are highest here.
The most modern API in mid-market home care — the easiest to build clean, real-time integrations against.
A focused set of partners covering the non-medical stack (payroll, background checks, AI inbound) without enterprise overhead.
Deep state-Medicaid and payer-provider connectivity — the integrations that matter most for a Medicaid book.
PointClickCare’s Marketplace lists over 350 certified integrations — the largest ecosystem in post-acute. For a multi-facility operator running many vendors, that breadth meaningfully reduces integration overhead: the tools you need are likely already certified and supported.
AlayaCare’s API is the most modern in mid-market home care. The catalog is smaller than PointClickCare’s, but the quality of the API surface means partners can build deep, real-time integrations quickly — which is why so many new integrations appear there first.
AxisCare offers an API plus a focused set of partners covering the non-medical stack. It’s not trying to be a 350-app marketplace; it’s trying to cover what a non-medical agency actually integrates — payroll, background checks, EVV, and AI inbound — cleanly.
HHAeXchange’s integration strength is Medicaid-specific: state aggregators, payer connectivity, and the EVV plumbing a Medicaid book depends on. For Medicaid operators, those are the only integrations that truly matter, and HHAeXchange owns them.

Whatever platform you pick, a few integration categories show up in almost every home care stack:
The one most platforms handle worst is the first — caregiver inbound. That’s exactly the gap HeyHomeCare was built to fill, and why it integrates natively with AxisCare, AlayaCare, Axxess, HHAeXchange, and PointClickCare.
Caregiver inbound is the workflow home care platforms handle worst. HeyHomeCare fills it and integrates natively with five of the six major platforms — call-outs, swaps, missed clock-ins, synced back to your system of record.
