Zdrovia Logo

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.

Published pricing, month to month

A scribe that writes into the chart, included

PatientNow arrives through an onboarding period. Zdrovia's scribe is included on the paid plans and fills the structured fields as you talk.

  1. You talk through the treatment the way you already do.
  2. The scribe fills the chart's structured fields, not a paragraph you re-type.
  3. Nothing is final until you sign it, and the audio is never kept.

An illustrative excerpt of a Zdrovia record. The patient, lots and figures are made up; the fields and their behaviour are the product's.

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

Zdrovia vs PatientNow

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.

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, oldest-first dispensing 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 Small Practice and Team Practice, 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 CAD.

Cards above show subscription prices only; card processing is charged on top on both sides. Zdrovia's card processing is all-in: 4% + 30¢ per transaction on Solo (free, one practitioner), 3% on Small Practice ($79, 3 practitioners) and Team Practice ($149, 10 practitioners at one location, then $15 each, and $49 a month for each further location, with 3 more practitioners included), 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. Direct bank payments are cheaper again: 2.1% + 40¢ on Solo, 1.1% on Small Practice and Team Practice. All Zdrovia figures CAD.

Three steps to switch. No IT team needed.

Migration is free on the paid plans and done by people, not a wizard. On Solo, you can start charting new patients today; the hand import comes with a paid plan.

  1. Export your data

    Download a client and appointment export from the software you use now. No special format is needed, and we help you prepare it.

    15 minto export from most systems
  2. We do the import by hand

    Our team maps patient records, appointment history and notes into Zdrovia. It's free on Small Practice and Team Practice. A standard export is usually imported within a day and seeing patients within two. A large or messy one takes longer.

    1 daytypical import, standard export
  3. Go live with your team

    Once your data is in, we run a 30-minute live walkthrough with your team, then you book and chart as normal.

PatientNow or Zdrovia

What practices ask before switching, answered straight.

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.

Read the price. Then try the product.

Structured charting, injectable lot tracking, versioned consent, dated photo pairs, booking and payments. Free to start, month to month, no proposal in the way.

No credit card. Moving a team? We'll plan the switch with you on the call.
