Cerbo is a well-established EHR popular with functional and integrative medicine practices. Moonshot EHR is built specifically for prescribing cash-pay clinics (TRT, GLP-1, hormone optimization) where controlled-substance inventory, EPCS e-prescribing, and membership billing live in one system. Here's how they actually differ.

The cost beyond the subscription
Moonshot can cost more than a standalone EHR. Compare the complete operation: software, extra users, and the staff time spent keeping separate systems in sync.

$507/month beyond your EHR
An example, not measured savings or a quote for the competitor. Count only tools you need and work you actually do. Physical counts and clinical review remain necessary; software does not eliminate every inventory hour.
No platform transaction fee; processor fees are separate. Optional hands-on migration starts at $1,000, depending on scope.

The differences that matter
Cerbo charges a $1,195 setup fee, $281/month per full-time prescribing provider, and $63/user/month for staff. Moonshot is $1,000/month per location with the first prescriber included, $200 for each additional prescriber, and every staff user is free.
Both platforms e-prescribe, including controlled substances. On Moonshot, prescribing happens inside the chart with one login, and EPCS for Schedules II–V is included on every plan via ScriptSure, a Surescripts-certified EPCS application.
Cerbo advertises inventory for product and supplement sales, not DEA controlled-substance inventory tracking. If you dispense testosterone in-house, Moonshot tracks every vial at the mg level, lot by lot, from receipt to dispense.
The honest part
Cerbo is a reasonable choice for functional medicine practices that don't dispense controlled substances, don't need a built-in CRM or DEA controlled-substance inventory tracking, and want a long-established vendor. If your clinic never touches a vial and doesn't prescribe Schedule III hormones, Cerbo's per-provider pricing may work for you.
