AI scribe for every practitionerJane App Alternative

Jane charges $15 a practitioner for the scribe. At ten, that beats our whole plan.

Jane is a good product and we will say so more than once on this page. But the AI scribe is a per-practitioner add-on there and included for every practitioner on our paid plans here, so the gap grows with every hire. For an aesthetics clinic, the inventory gap is bigger than the price one.

The short answer

If you bill insurers, this page is not for you.

Stay with Jane if

Jane's Telus eClaims integration is real, it works, and we have nothing comparable. For allied health clinics running claims every day that is decisive on its own.

  • You bill insurers directly through Telus eClaims or Provider Connect
  • You are a physio, chiro, RMT or mental health practice
  • Treatment plans and canned allied-health reporting are how you work

Move to Zdrovia if

Zdrovia is built for medical aesthetics specifically. Injectables, lasers, photos, retail and memberships, with the scribe included rather than metered and no cap on appointments on any plan.

  • You inject, laser, needle or peel and hold stock with expiry dates
  • You have more than a couple of practitioners and the add-ons are adding up
  • You want AI charting on every seat without a per-seat charge
  • You pay commissions and want them calculated from each sale

Jane pricing from jane.app, checked October 2026: Balance (CAD $59) is a single practitioner capped at 20 appointments a month; Practice (CAD $79) and Thrive (CAD $99) each include one full-time practitioner, with additional full-time practitioners at CAD $35 or $40 and part-time at CAD $17.50 or $20. The AI Scribe add-on is CAD $15 per opted-in practitioner after 5 free notes a month, and Insurance Billing (including Telus eClaims) is a CAD $20/mo add-on plus $5 per extra full-time practitioner on Practice and Thrive. Confirm current pricing with the vendor. Zdrovia pricing and features are also subject to change.

Run the numbers

Close on the invoice. Not close on the chart.

This includes Jane's own card processing fee, so it's a fair total-cost comparison rather than plan-versus-plan. At low volume the percentage model works in your favour outright; at higher volume the two land close enough that the decision comes down to what the record can do, not the invoice.

Jane scenarios use the Practice plan (CAD $79, one full-time practitioner included) because the CAD $59 Balance plan is capped at 20 appointments a month, plus CAD $35 per additional full-time practitioner, AI Scribe at CAD $15 per practitioner per month (left out of the solo scenario, since Zdrovia Solo has no scribe) and Jane Payments at 2.75% online; published pricing checked October 2026. Thrive (CAD $99, CAD $40 per extra full-time practitioner) would cost more. Zdrovia uses list prices, not the early-adopter rate, and card processing is all-in with no separate gateway charge: 4% + 30¢ per transaction on Solo (free, one practitioner), 3.5% on Small Practice ($79, 3 practitioners) and 3% on Team Practice ($149, 10 practitioners, then $15 each), scribe included on both paid plans.

Where the products diverge

Jane is excellent at a job that is not yours

Jane was built for allied health and it is very good at allied health. Aesthetics has different objects in it, and that is what this comes down to.

A dictated note versus a filled-in chart

Most AI scribes do the same visible thing. They listen, they transcribe, they hand you a summary you paste into the note. That saves typing, which is worth something.

Ours writes into the fields instead. When you say twenty units to the left masseter, that becomes a value on a structured field, not a sentence in a paragraph. Pain scores, vitals, range of motion, device settings and any custom field you authored all fill the same way.

The reason this matters shows up months later. Structured values graph. You can put a patient's six-month response on screen and turn it around to show them, which is the single most persuasive thing in a rebooking conversation. A paragraph cannot do that no matter how well written it is.

It is also why we include the scribe rather than metering it. A metered scribe gets used on the complicated appointments and skipped on the easy ones, and your data ends up with holes in exactly the places that would have been easiest to fill.

Inventory is the gap nobody notices until a recall

Jane's product inventory counts retail stock, which is the right tool for selling lotion at reception. It was not designed to carry lot numbers and expiry dates, because most of Jane's clinics do not hold anything that has them.

An aesthetics clinic holds several thousand dollars of toxin and filler at any moment, all of it lot-numbered and dated. Zdrovia receives stock by lot with its expiry, dispenses oldest first so nothing quietly dies at the back of the fridge, supports quarantine for anything you are unsure of, and links each dispense to a visit and an invoice line.

The recall scenario is what sells it and the expiry alerts are what pay for it. Catching one vial before it has to be written off covers a month of Team.

  • Lot and expiry captured at receipt, oldest dispensed first
  • Quarantine for stock you are not confident in
  • Recall traced from vial to patient in one query
  • Expiry alerts before product has to be binned

What changes once you have a team

With one practitioner, Jane and Zdrovia cost about the same once you count card processing. The difference shows up as you hire. Jane prices per practitioner, and the scribe is per practitioner on top of that, so every hire adds roughly CAD $50 a month before anyone sees a patient.

Zdrovia's Team Practice plan is one price for up to 10 practitioners with the scribe included for all of them, and $15 for each one past that. At twenty practitioners that's $299 a month in subscription against roughly $1,044 on Jane.

The other thing that changes is the back office. Commissions are set as rules by service, category or role, and every sale creates an entry that moves from pending to approved to paid, so payroll stops being a spreadsheet exercise. Revenue and no-shows break down by practitioner on the analytics dashboard.

  • One calendar across every practitioner and room
  • Commission rules by service, category or role, with an approval queue
  • Revenue and no-shows by practitioner
  • Free migration on paid plans, mapped by hand

What Jane does better, plainly

Insurance. Jane bills insurers directly through Telus eClaims (with its Insurance Billing add-on) and our claims module is manual bookkeeping. If that is part of your daily work, the comparison ends there and you should stay.

Reporting breadth is the other one. Jane ships more canned reports than we do, built up over years of allied health practice. We have gone deep on outcome graphing instead, which suits tracking a treatment series better than it suits running a large multidisciplinary clinic.

Support too. Jane's phone and chat support has a reputation it earned. We are smaller, and while you will reach a person quickly, we are not pretending to match a team that size.

Both companies are Canadian and both host Canadian patient data in Canada, so PIPEDA is not a point of difference here. Figures on this page are CAD to match Jane's published pricing.

What clinics ask us before they move, answered straight.

Should I actually leave Jane?▾

If you bill insurers directly, no. Jane's Telus eClaims integration (part of its Insurance Billing add-on) works and ours does not exist, so for a physio, chiro or RMT clinic running claims daily, Jane is the better product and we would rather say so than waste your afternoon. If you are in medical aesthetics, the calculation is different and the rest of this page is about why.

Is the AI scribe comparison fair?▾

Check it yourself, because it is the strongest thing we have to say. Jane's AI Scribe is a per-practitioner add-on at CAD $15 a month, with 5 free notes a month on every plan before that. At ten practitioners that add-on alone comes to $150 a month, which is more than our entire Team Practice plan costs ($149) with the scribe included for all ten. At twenty it's $300 a month on Jane, against $299 for all of Zdrovia. Our free Solo plan doesn't include the scribe, so for one practitioner the honest comparison leaves it out on both sides.

What does a clinic with ten or more practitioners pay?▾

On Jane, every full-time practitioner past the first is CAD $35 a month on Practice ($40 on Thrive), and the AI scribe is another $15 each. On Zdrovia, Team Practice is $149 a month for up to 10 practitioners with the scribe included, then $15 for each one after that. Subscribe before the end of 2026 and the early-adopter rate of $89 is locked for your first 12 months. Card processing on Team Practice is 3% + 30¢ all-in. The larger the team, the wider the gap on subscription cost; once you add card processing the totals land closer, so run your own volume through the table above.

Is the free plan really unlimited?▾

Yes. Every Zdrovia plan, including the free one, has unlimited patients and unlimited appointments, with no monthly cap and no bump to a higher tier once you get busy. Jane's cheapest plan, Balance at CAD $59, is capped at 20 appointments a month, which suits a side practice but not a full caseload, so most full-time practitioners on Jane end up on Practice at CAD $79. That is a reasonable price for what Jane does. It just means the like-for-like comparison is $79 against our $0, not $59.

What does your scribe actually do?▾

It listens during the appointment, transcribes live, separates who said what, and writes into the structured fields on the chart rather than producing a paragraph. That distinction is the point. A dictated note in most systems is prose, and prose does not graph. Ours fills in pain scores, vitals, range of motion, units by site and any field you authored yourself, so dictating the note and capturing the data become one action.

What about injectables and inventory?▾

This is the clearest gap. Jane's product inventory handles retail stock counts. It does not carry lot numbers and expiry dates as first-class fields, which is what you need if you hold toxin and filler. Zdrovia receives stock by lot with expiry, dispenses oldest first, supports quarantine, and links every dispense to a visit and an invoice line.

How does Zdrovia's pricing compare over a year?▾

Include Jane's own processing fee and the total cost lands close at every size we've checked: sometimes in our favour, sometimes in theirs, depending on your volume and headcount. Where it stops being close is the record: Jane's scribe is a paragraph you paste in, ours writes into structured fields, and the inventory gap doesn't show up on an invoice at all until the day you actually need lot-level traceability.

How does switching from Jane work?▾

Export your patient, appointment and note data from Jane and send us the files. Our team does the mapping by hand rather than handing you an importer, which matters because real exports have inconsistent columns and half-finished records in them. Migration is free on Small Practice and Team Practice, and most clinics with a standard export are charting within a couple of days. Moving a whole team? Book a call and we'll plan the cut-over with you so nobody runs two systems for a month.
