Published pricing, month to monthPatientNow Alternative

No proposal. No term. No implementation phase.

PatientNow is an established aesthetics platform that arrives through a demo, a quote and an onboarding period. Zdrovia costs $0, $79 or $149, publishes that on the pricing page, and has you charting the same day.

The short answer

Two different businesses buy these two products.

Stay with PatientNow if

PatientNow is aimed at practices selling high-ticket treatments through a consult pipeline, often with a patient coordinator working it. The lead nurture and financing tooling exists for that job and does it well.

  • You have a coordinator running consults as a sales pipeline
  • Patient financing is part of how most of your cases close
  • Surgical or high-ticket work makes up a large share of revenue

Move to Zdrovia if

Zdrovia is aimed at the clinic where the injector books, treats, charts and closes out the day themselves. The record is the centre of it.

  • You want the price before a sales conversation, not after
  • Injectable lot traceability matters more than lead scoring
  • A month-to-month arrangement suits you better than a term

PatientNow prices by quote, so the figure that matters is the one in your own proposal. Feature comparisons reflect each product's published positioning and change over time. Confirm with the vendor before deciding. Zdrovia pricing and features are also subject to change.

Run the numbers

Our entire price list fits on three cards

We cannot print a quoted price honestly, so here is ours in full. Put your proposal beside it.

Zdrovia's card processing is all-in — 4% + 30¢ per transaction on Free, 3.5% on Pro ($79, three practitioners), 3% on Team ($149, ten practitioners, across any number of locations) — no separate gateway charge underneath it. PatientNow is quoted per practice; its own card processing rate isn't publicly listed and is charged separately from your quote. All Zdrovia figures USD.

What you are choosing between

A sales pipeline, or a clinical record

Both products chart patients and both take payment. They were shaped around different bottlenecks, and that is the thing worth working out before you sign anything.

Software built around the consult

Platforms aimed at high-ticket aesthetics tend to organise themselves around converting a consultation. Leads, nurture sequences, financing applications, coordinator dashboards. For a practice where a coordinator works that pipeline daily, it is the right shape and the price follows the revenue it influences.

A lot of clinics buy that shape and never use it. If the person doing consults is the same person holding the syringe, there is no pipeline to work, and the modules sit there raising the invoice.

Software built around the visit

Zdrovia starts from what happens in the room. Charts are assembled from structured fields rather than text boxes, so units by site, device settings, Fitzpatrick type and anything you author yourself are stored as values. Values graph, so a treatment series turns into something you can show a patient on screen.

The AI scribe listens during the appointment and writes into those fields. Dictating the note and capturing the data collapse into one job, and the structured-capture rate goes up simply because it takes no extra effort.

Inventory tracks lots, expiry, FEFO and quarantine, with each dispense tied to a visit and an invoice line. That gives you vial-level traceability for recalls and, more usefully week to week, warnings before expensive product expires.

  • Structured fields that graph across a treatment series
  • AI scribe included on every plan, writing into fields
  • Vial-level traceability from delivery to patient chart
  • Versioned consent and dated before-and-after pairs

Commercial terms you can read in advance

Quoted pricing and term agreements are normal in this part of the market and they are not a scandal. They do make evaluation slow, and they put the decision before the evidence.

Ours runs the other way. The price is published, the plan is month to month, and the free tier is the whole product rather than a preview. Run a month of real patients through it and decide afterwards. Your Stripe account stays yours either way, so leaving costs you nothing but the time you spent.

Canadian clinics: patient data stays in Canadian data centres, so PIPEDA is answered directly. Zdrovia figures here are USD.

The Migration Process

Three steps and you're live. No IT team needed.

Export your data

Download a CSV or PDF export from your current EHR — Jane, Cliniko, or any other. No special format required, and our team helps you prep it for free.

< 15 minto export from any EHR

We handle the migration

Send us your export and our onboarding team handles the data import. Patient records, appointment history, and notes — all mapped cleanly into Zdrovia. It's free, and how long it takes depends on the size and complexity of your export.

24 hrstypical turnaround, standard export

Go live with your team

Once your data is in, we run a 30-minute live walkthrough with your team. Most clinics with a standard export are seeing live patients in Zdrovia within 48 hours of signing up.

PatientNow or Zdrovia

What practices ask before switching, answered straight.

Is PatientNow a bad choice?

It is an established product with a long history in aesthetics and its before-and-after photo tooling has been a reference point in this market for years. The reasons to look elsewhere are usually commercial rather than clinical: quoted pricing, term agreements, and an onboarding process that takes a while before the software earns anything.

Why can I not see PatientNow's prices on this page?

Because they are quoted per practice and we will not print a number we cannot source. Take the proposal you were given, put it beside the three cards above, and you have a real comparison instead of an estimated one.

What do I give up by moving to a smaller product?

Lead nurture and patient financing tooling aimed at high-ticket surgical and aesthetic sales. If a dedicated coordinator is working a pipeline of consults, that tooling earns its keep and we do not match it. If the person doing consults is also the person injecting, most of it goes unused.

How quickly can I actually start?

Same day. Sign up, add your services, chart a patient. There is no implementation phase because there is far less to configure, which is a genuine trade rather than a clever trick.

How does the pricing work?

Card processing is all-in: 4% + 30¢ per transaction on Free, dropping to 3.5% on Pro ($79, three practitioners) and 3% on Team ($149, ten practitioners across any number of locations). Past roughly $15,800 a month in card bookings, moving to Pro costs less than staying on Free.

Can you migrate patient photos as well as records?

Send us what you can export, photos included, and we map it by hand. Legacy exports are frequently awkward, which is exactly why a person does this rather than an importer. It is free while we are in beta and the timeline depends on the size of the archive.
