A clinic software comparison

Pabau pricing and features: an AesthetiClinic alternative

Pabau describes its core plans by user count and offers optional add-ons; AesthetiClinic charges £25 plus VAT per bookable practitioner per month, with SMS and card processing separate. Compare a current Pabau quote with the workflows and total costs your clinic needs. This is a vendor-published feature comparison, not an independent review study.

Is a move the right fit?

  • A reason to consider AesthetiClinic

    You have a specific workflow to improve and have checked that AesthetiClinic meets it.

  • A reason to stay with your current system

    Your current system already meets your required workflows and a move would add work without solving a specific problem.

Check the published pricing

I build AesthetiClinic and work with clinics on software migrations. That gives this comparison a commercial perspective: the useful question is which system fits your work and what the complete bill will be.

This page checks Pabau’s own published pricing model and selected features on 11 October 2026. It does not contain a verified customer-review sample or an independent performance test.

Is AesthetiClinic a Pabau alternative for an independent clinic?

AesthetiClinic is an option if your priority is booking, consent and patient records for an independent aesthetics clinic. Test the workflows you use, compare the complete monthly bill and assess what your current account can export. A move should solve a specific problem for your team.

Start with Pabau’s current pricing model

Pabau’s pricing page now groups its core plans by user count: Solo for one user, Team for two or three, Medium for four or five, Group for six to fifteen and Enterprise for sixteen or more. It describes core platform access across plans and separate optional add-ons.

No numeric UK subscription amount was available in the public page text we could verify at this check. Ask Pabau for a current written quote covering your users, billing period, tax, setup, messages, payments and selected add-ons. That is a limit of this check, not a claim that Pabau never displays prices elsewhere.

AesthetiClinic’s published price is £25 plus VAT per bookable practitioner per month, with at least one paid seat per clinic and free admin and reception accounts. Ordinary appointment emails are included. SMS is 7p plus VAT per message in prepaid bundles of 1,000 (£70 plus VAT). Patient payments run through your own Stripe account at 0% commission to us; Stripe card processing fees apply.

Our 14-day trial requires a card at signup. The first subscription payment is taken after 14 days unless you cancel before the trial ends, as set out in the subscription agreement.

Compare the same work in both systems

A vendor’s feature list is evidence of what it advertises. It is not proof that the workflow suits your particular clinic. These rows identify what to demonstrate and where we checked the published claims.

Workflow Pabau’s published offer AesthetiClinic
Booking and diary Scheduling and online booking in its core platform Booking, practitioner availability and diary
Forms and records Digital forms, signatures and records described on its patient-intake page Treatment-specific forms, signed versions and patient records
Inventory and reporting Listed in its core platform Stock and reporting included in the platform
Marketing Core tools plus optional extensions Appointment messaging; campaigns through the clinic’s own connected marketing account
Pricing unit Users, with optional add-ons Bookable practitioners; separate SMS and card costs

The Pabau rows are based on its pricing page and patient-intake page. Pabau publishes electronic consent and signature functionality, so this comparison does not leave that capability as an unexplained “varies”.

Use one consultation, one treatment booking and one cancellation as your test cases. Ask to perform them yourself. Check who sees the medical history, how a changed form is handled and where the payment appears afterwards.

Count the bill using your actual team

Three bookable AesthetiClinic practitioners cost £75 plus VAT per month before message and payment-processing costs. That arithmetic does not establish savings against Pabau until you have a comparable quote.

Check who counts as a paid user in each proposal. Include any annual commitment, onboarding or migration work and third-party services you expect to use. Avoid comparing one product’s promotional headline with another’s complete ongoing bill.

Ask which extra tools you could stop paying for and which you would retain. A broader platform can be useful when your clinic uses its additional workflows; those same workflows should be part of the demonstration rather than an assumed benefit.

A reason to stay is a valid result

If Pabau already supports your team, records and reporting well, moving systems has a cost in time and attention. Work out the specific problem a move would solve before assessing migration.

For a clinic with more complex operations, demonstrate those operations first: shared rooms, staff permissions, several locations and the reporting the owner actually uses. This page does not establish that either product will meet every configuration.

Check leaving before agreeing a move

Ask Pabau which data and files you can export today, their formats and any charges or notice requirements. This check did not verify a complete Pabau export, so the page does not claim an absence of export functionality.

For a move to AesthetiClinic, we assess available exports, agree the scope and check records with the clinic before launch. Signed forms, photographs and financial balances need individual attention in that assessment. We do not promise that everything transfers.

Our agreement provides free structured data and file export, with very large media libraries supplied separately on request. Check the current terms rather than treating “one click” as a guarantee that every archive arrives in one file.

Read the switching page for the process and our AesthetiDocs comparison if that is another option you are considering. The pricing page sets out our own costs.

Bring the workflow to a demo

Use the same fictional appointment and questions you used with Pabau. A comparison is easier to judge when you have seen each system do the work you need.

FAQ

How much does Pabau cost?

We verified its user-count plan structure and optional add-ons, but not a numeric UK subscription amount in the public page text. Get a current written quote for the same team and services you are comparing.

Yes. Its patient-intake page describes digital forms and electronic signatures. Test how the workflow handles your treatment-specific wording and signed records.

Is this a Pabau reviews article?

It is a dated pricing and feature comparison published by AesthetiClinic. No verified customer-review sample is analysed, so it does not claim a satisfaction score or common customer complaints.

Can you move all my Pabau records?

We need to assess the available exports and authorised access before agreeing what can move. The record types, files and exceptions are checked with you as part of the scope.

Before you move

Check what will come with you.

The available export and the records you can verify set the scope of a move.

  • Available exports and authorised access must be assessed; scope and exceptions agreed before launch.
