The main differences

Price. LunaBill takes "a share of net collections recovered", at a rate set per customer. AppealHound charges $8 an appeal drafted, $6 and $4 at volume, and never a percentage of what is recovered.
Scope. LunaBill works portals, payer calls, denials, resubmissions and posting. AppealHound starts at the 835 and ends at an appeal your people approve.
Setup. LunaBill connects to your EHR and clearinghouse. AppealHound needs the 835 file and nothing else.

When LunaBill fits better

You want the whole AR queue worked by agents, including payer calls and portal checks, not only the appeals.
You want nothing upfront and are comfortable paying a share of every dollar collected.

We make AppealHound. Read this page with that in mind. Every fact about another product links to the page on that vendor's own site we took it from, read on 24 and 27 September 2026. Where a vendor does not say something, we write "not public" or "not stated", which is not the same as "no". If a fact here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we fix it.
