CareLoop vs Birdie
If your group runs care homes (or a mix of dom-care and residential), CareLoop covers both. Same modern feel, broader scope.
Where Birdie is strong
Birdie is excellent for home-care providers who need scheduled visits, route optimisation and a clean carer app. They've raised serious VC funding and the product is polished — but the focus is squarely on dom-care, not residential.
Birdie is dom-care first. CareLoop is built around 24/7 residential settings — eMAR rounds, body maps, falls register, family portal. We do dom-care visits too, with magic-link confirms.
Birdie integrates with third-party LMS providers. CareLoop ships with 31 real-world UK care courses, multi-language, plus a full certifications dashboard.
Birdie leans on third-party integrations for training and compliance. CareLoop includes unlimited visits, residents and team members at each location, with management, HR, training, compliance and maintenance all in one place.
Yes. Visit scheduling and magic-link confirms are the same primitives whether the visit is at someone's home or inside one of your care homes. Residents in residential homes get the full eMAR + body map + care plan stack.
Currently we surface unassigned visits sorted by location and time but don't compute optimal routes. Route optimisation is on the roadmap — talk to us if it's a hard requirement.
