We judge every platform against the same eight tasks a real clinic runs each week, verify the details against each vendor’s published product and pricing, and publish what actually decides the choice — including the line items that aren’t on the pricing page.

If you only read three things, read these.
Six platforms compared on TCM charting, packages, insurance and no-show handling. With the cost of each at 1, 3 and 6 practitioners.
PricingList price is rarely what you pay. The four line items that quietly double a small clinic’s monthly bill.
MethodOur eight-task framework, how we score, who pays us, and the things we deliberately don’t review.
The short version
Three common situations, one recommendation each.
Best booking flow in the category and the least friction for a one-room practice. Overkill only if you see fewer than 15 clients a month.
Point prescriptions and formula libraries built in. You will not rebuild your intake in a generalist tool and get the same record.
If more than half your revenue is claims, choose a billing-first system and accept worse booking. We explain why in the guide.
