Phorest's unlimited-staff plans and marketing tools are built for established salons and spas, and for a large team they can work out well.
Zdrovia is built around the clinical side of aesthetics, with a price you can read before you talk to anyone.
More features, simpler pricing, and a migration that takes days, not weeks.
Most software that serves both salons and med spas started on the salon side. That's not a problem until the treatments become clinical, so check the clinical parts in the demo, not just the calendar.
Have the salesperson chart a tox visit in front of you: product, units per site on a face map, the lot dispensed, and the photo pair. Then open the client's next visit and see whether last time's numbers are right there.
In Zdrovia that flow is the core of the product. The face map writes the treatment note, the lot is deducted from inventory, and the invoice is priced from the units.
A signed form isn't enough on its own. You need to be able to show the exact wording a client signed, not the wording on your form today, and keep clinical photo consent separate from marketing photo consent.
Zdrovia versions every consent form and files the signed copy with the version the client saw.
Quote-only pricing isn't dishonest, but it means two clinics can pay different amounts for the same thing, and the number can move at renewal.
Zdrovia's price is on the pricing page: free for one practitioner, $79 for up to 3, and $149 for up to 10, with no onboarding fee.

The questions med spa owners ask us, answered straight.
Phorest doesn't publish its prices. It runs a Canadian operation with four salon plans and two med spa tiers, all quote-only, so the number that matters is the one in your own proposal. Put it next to the columns above.
It's strongest for established salons and spas with several staff, where client retention and marketing tools pay for themselves. It does offer med spa tiers. If injectables are the centre of your business, ask in the demo to see the injectable chart, lot and expiry tracking, and how consent versions are stored, and compare them with ours.
For a large team, the unlimited-staff model is a real advantage, and we say so in the table. Zdrovia's Team Practice covers 10 practitioners for $149, then $15 for each one after. The difference is that our price is published and starts at free, and Phorest's is a quote aimed at businesses with three or more staff.
Probably not first. Phorest's Starter plan is aimed at businesses with three or more staff. Zdrovia is free forever for one practitioner, with charting, consent, photos, inventory and booking included.
Solo is free, with an all-in 4% + 30¢ per card transaction. Small Practice at $79 covers 3 practitioners at 3.5% and adds the AI scribe, and Team Practice at $149 covers 10 at 3%. No quote and no onboarding fee.
Send us your client and appointment export and we map it by hand. Migration is free on Small Practice and Team Practice, and a standard export is usually live within two days.
Injectable charting, consent, dated photos, lot-tracked inventory, booking and payments, with published pricing. Free for one practitioner.
