Comparison
Casedaisy vs. ZigBuddy
ZigBuddy is a scheduling, routing, and earnings app for adult home health clinicians — physical, occupational, and speech therapists and visiting nurses — often working across more than one agency. Casedaisy now serves adult home health as well, alongside pediatric, early intervention, and school-and-home caseloads: the week is planned from each episode's ordered visit frequency, reassessments, recerts and supervisory visits are tracked, and earnings are reported per agency and pay period. The short verdict: ZigBuddy if you want Drive Mode and native apps today; Casedaisy if you want frequency-order pacing, supervisory-visit compliance, and per-agency earnings alongside routing.

Where ZigBuddy is strong
ZigBuddy has been in the market since 2019 and is built around the working day of an adult home health clinician: get the route right, drive it hands-free, and know what the day earned.
- Per-agency "notebooks", so clinicians contracting with several agencies can track visits and earnings separately
- Drive Mode — hands-free stop-to-stop guidance through the day's route
- Native iOS and Android apps alongside the web app
- AI route optimization with time windows, plus an "Organize Week" reshuffle and plain-English schedule rules
- One flat plan with every feature — $19.99 per month, $199.99 per year, or $19.99 per seat per month for agencies, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card
- Earnings and mileage reports exportable to XLSX and PDF
- A patient availability portal and AI patient import from a photo or pasted text
- HIPAA-aligned with a BAA available
Where casedaisy is different
Both products route a driving day. The difference is what else governs the week. In adult home health that is the ordered visit frequency per episode, the reassessment and recert calendar, supervisory visits for assistants, and what each agency owes you. In pediatric and early intervention it is naps, family availability, authorization units, and evaluation cycles. Casedaisy is built around both sets.
- Frequency-order pacing per episode: shorthand like 2w4 1w2 PRN2 turned into ordered stages, with expected vs. delivered, make-up flags, and PRN counted separately
- Reassessment, recert, and episode-end dates that clear when a qualifying visit is booked
- PTA, COTA and LPN supervisory-visit cadence with an overdue view
- Per-agency earnings: rate card snapshot at visit completion, mileage by each agency's policy and commute rule, pay periods, and CSV, PDF, YTD and tax-year exports
- Authorization pacing: monthly units delivered vs. authorized, with at-risk flags before a window closes unused
- Nap blocks and family availability treated as hard and soft scheduling constraints
- Supervision scheduling and supervision-hour compliance tracking
- Evaluation-cycle tracking, so re-evaluations are scheduled before they come due
- Two-way Google Calendar sync
- Spreadsheet caseload import — bring an existing sheet across in one step
- California DDS eBilling export
- Agency org-level reporting across a team of therapists
Scope, stated plainly: Casedaisy is scheduling, routing, mileage, authorization pacing, and visit notes for therapists who drive to their clients. It is not an EMR, it does not submit insurance claims, and it does not run revenue cycle management. Many people run it alongside the system their agency already bills from.

- Reassessments, recerts, and supervisory visits for assistants are the things you cannot let slip.
- You want per-agency earnings and mileage by policy alongside the routing, not in a separate spreadsheet.
- You also run a pediatric, early intervention, or school-and-home caseload where naps, school hours, and family availability set the week.

Frequently asked questions
- Are Casedaisy and ZigBuddy competing for the same people?
- Yes, more than before. ZigBuddy's stated focus is adult home health — PTs, OTs, SLPs, and visiting nurses — and Casedaisy now supports adult home health too, alongside pediatric, early intervention, and school-and-home caseloads. The split is in what each does best: Drive Mode and native apps on their side, frequency-order pacing, supervisory-visit compliance, and per-agency earnings on ours.
- What does ZigBuddy cost?
- ZigBuddy publishes one plan with every feature included: $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year, and $19.99 per seat per month for agencies, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. Check their pricing page for current terms.
- Does Casedaisy track authorizations?
- Yes. Each client holds an authorization period with a start date, end date, and authorized visit or unit count. Casedaisy counts delivered visits against it, shows who is ahead or behind pace, and warns you before a window closes with units unused.
- Is Casedaisy an EMR? Can it bill insurance?
- No. Casedaisy is scheduling, routing, mileage, authorization pacing, and visit notes. It does not submit insurance claims or run revenue cycle management, so if you need billing you will either keep your current system or choose one that includes it.
