ClinicYou vs Zanda: The Best ClinicYou Alternative for Allied Health Practitioners

Why ClinicYou users look for an alternative

Many allied health practitioners use ClinicYou for practice management, and if you're searching for a ClinicYou alternative, you may be looking for pricing that grows with your team, one client portal for bookings, forms and payments, and a team that moves your data for you. Zanda brings all of that into one secure, affordable platform built for allied health.

ClinicYou vs Zanda: Top highlights

1

Pricing that grows with your team

Pricing that grows with your team

Zanda charges per practitioner, so your reception, bookkeeping and practice management team can join at no extra cost. ClinicYou charges per user, which means everyone who logs in needs a paid seat. Zanda also publishes its add-on pricing, while ClinicYou's pricing page leaves out optional add-ons such as SMS, paid telehealth and AI, and most of those costs only appear once you create an account.

Zanda's subscription also costs less, even when you count practitioners alone.

1 practitioner: Zanda from US$29 / month vs ClinicYou £40 / month

4 practitioners: Zanda US$136 / month vs ClinicYou £160 / month

7 practitioners: Zanda US$223 / month vs ClinicYou £280 / month

One client portal for everything

One client portal for everything

Zanda's client portal lets new and existing clients view, book and manage appointments online, and you can switch on card payments at booking, plus access to invoices, online forms, upcoming appointment details, telehealth links and waitlist sign-ups. ClinicYou splits these tasks across two tools: an unbranded public page for first-time self-booking, and a patient portal for health records and messages with clinicians.

Zanda also includes editable clinical notes, an AI scribe, waitlists, group appointments, automations and automatic invoicing.

What practitioners are saying

I used to pay for a Zoom account. Once I saw telehealth was already covered in Zanda, I closed out my Zoom subscription. One less monthly bill.
Jo Anna Sena, Owner
Mindful Therapy Care
Every single time I came back to knowing that Zanda was the software for me. It just had everything that I needed in there, it was really straightforward to use, and it was ever evolving.
Cassandra Gavel, Practice Owner / Clinician
GBY Therapy (Guided By You Therapy)
Has made life as a solo practitioner so much easier! Enabling clients to schedule their own appointments and having control over the time frames for booking and cancellation. Very simple platform. Can also use for my own appointments and set reminders.
Louise B.
Using the AI has made it so much simpler and I find I no longer avoid note taking. This means less stress as at the end of the day all my notes are done and I can let go of work and relax and be with my family.
Sallyanne Keevers
Invoices, automations for email sending, forms, appointment reminders, even a Practice Manual with policies that you can amend to suit your clinic.
Peter Mills
Zanda has all the features I need to run my private practice. I was even able to link my website to the client portal with ease, so my clients can manage their existing appointments online. This feature, among other really helpful features, significantly reduces my administration time, particularly when new clients book.
