Budget is an important consideration in any mobile health project.
CommCare Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Model
Dimagi has developed a Total Cost of Ownership Model tool to Budgeting is one of the most important considerations for any mobile project. Building a holistic picture of all the related costs associated with a mobile project takes time. To help organizations estimate the total cost of adopting CommCare (or other mobile technologies for their community health workers or other mobile users. This tool provides a budget for adopting CommCare over the next five years. This is meant to provide a concrete example for planning but is still very much a work in progress (see here for additional context).

Details on pricing for Dimagi can be found on CommCareHQ here. However, please contact us if you have specific questions about pricing or a proposed project.) for frontline programs, we have developed an easy-to-use budgeting tool called the Total Cost of Ownership Model.
The TCO Model serves as a simple, transparent exercise for organizations interested in understanding the cost of maintaining a mobile solution. The tool provides a model to budget the adoption and deployment of CommCare over five years, and is based on 10+ years of experience helping hundreds of partners determine their budgets.
The TCO Model helps organizations:
- Estimate the total cost of adopting CommCare or other mobile technologies
- Explore permutations and plan budgets accordingly
- Help groups understand and/or identify the real cost drivers to maintaining a mobile system
- Assess how these costs can be shared by governments, external donors, NGOs, or others
