Cliniko is excellent for clinical practice management — but at $59+/month, it only handles bookings and records. OneBookPlus gives health practitioners invoicing, CRM, bookings, marketing, and accounting from $0/month.

Why switch
Cliniko starts at $59/month for a solo practitioner — that's $708/year just for practice management. OneBookPlus starts free and includes bookings, invoicing, CRM, accounting, and marketing. Even on a paid plan, you'll save hundreds every year while getting more features.
Cliniko doesn't include accounting, so most practitioners pay for Xero ($35+/month) on top of their Cliniko subscription. OneBookPlus includes full accounting with P&L reports, expense tracking, and ATO-ready BAS summaries — eliminating that extra cost entirely.
Growing your practice requires marketing, but Cliniko offers nothing for it. OneBookPlus includes email marketing campaigns and Google review requests so you can attract new patients and build your online reputation without paying for additional tools.
OneBookPlus offers online booking pages, automated appointment reminders, and Google Calendar sync — the core scheduling features health practitioners need. You get the same booking functionality as Cliniko plus accounting, marketing, and more, starting from $0/month.
FAQ
Yes. OneBookPlus offers online booking, client management, automated reminders, and invoicing — the core features health practitioners use Cliniko for. But OneBookPlus also includes accounting, P&L reports, BAS summaries, email marketing, and Google review requests that Cliniko doesn't offer. And at $0/month to start versus Cliniko's $59/month, it's significantly more affordable.
Cliniko starts at $59/month for a solo practitioner and goes up to $149/month for larger practices. OneBookPlus starts free and includes everything — bookings, invoicing, CRM, accounting, marketing, and more. That's a potential saving of $700+ per year for solo practitioners and even more for larger practices. You get more features for less money.
Yes. OneBookPlus includes an online booking page where clients can view your availability and book appointments. You also get automated appointment reminders, Google Calendar sync, and the ability to manage your schedule from your phone. While Cliniko has some clinical-specific features like SOAP notes, OneBookPlus covers all the core booking and scheduling needs at a fraction of the price.
Absolutely — and this is a major advantage over Cliniko. OneBookPlus includes full accounting with profit and loss reports, expense tracking, GST calculation, and ATO-ready BAS summaries. With Cliniko, you need to pay for separate accounting software like Xero ($35+/month). OneBookPlus gives you everything in one platform, saving you both money and the hassle of managing multiple tools.
OneBookPlus includes several features Cliniko lacks: full accounting and P&L reports, BAS/ATO tax summaries, expense tracking, email marketing campaigns, Google review requests, quoting with one-click accept, and Google Calendar sync. OneBookPlus also offers a free plan, while Cliniko starts at $59/month. It's a complete business platform, not just practice management software.
Cliniko does practice management well — but it stops there. You still need Xero for accounting, Mailchimp for marketing, and a separate tool for Google reviews. At $59+/month for Cliniko alone, the total cost of running your practice across multiple platforms adds up fast. OneBookPlus gives allied health practitioners, aged care providers, and wellness businesses a single platform that handles bookings, invoicing, CRM, accounting, and marketing together.
The real difference is how everything connects. When a client books online, their record is created automatically. After the appointment, you generate a GST-compliant invoice in one click. Bank feeds match the payment when it arrives. At the end of the quarter, your BAS summary is already calculated from real transaction data — no re-keying between disconnected systems.
OneBookPlus is ideal for physiotherapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, psychologists, dietitians, and aged care providers who want one platform for everything. If you're tired of paying $59+/month for Cliniko plus $35+/month for Xero plus another tool for marketing, OneBookPlus consolidates it all from $0/month. Practitioners who rely heavily on clinical-specific features like SOAP notes or Medicare online claiming may want to evaluate whether OneBookPlus's client notes meet their specific clinical documentation requirements.
Sign up for a free OneBookPlus account and set up your practice in minutes. Add your services and availability, publish your online booking page, and share the link with clients. Connect your bank account for automatic payment reconciliation, import your client list to preserve appointment history, and send your first invoice — all from the same dashboard. No credit card required, no lock-in contracts, and no $59/month just to manage appointments.
