MindBody vs. Zanda
The Best MindBody Alternative for Allied Health Practitioners
Why practices look for a MindBody alternative
MindBody and Zanda are both practice management options, but for allied health clinics, the differences are significant. Zanda delivers more features at a lower price, with no lock-in contracts, a free booking link, online forms included with every plan, and integrated marketing. If you're on MindBody and paying for plan upgrades to unlock features that Zanda includes by default, it's worth taking a closer look.
MindBody vs Zanda: Top highlights
More affordable: features included, not gated
Zanda has four plans based on practitioner count, all with every feature included. MindBody's Starter plan costs more than three times a comparable Zanda plan and locks key features, such as two-way SMS, a website booking link, online payment processing, and email marketing, behind higher tiers that cost up to 8x more.
Online forms on every plan
Zanda includes a full library of specialized, customizable online forms with every account at no extra cost. Forms auto-save to the client profile when returned, and you can apply your clinic branding. With MindBody, online forms require the Accelerate plan or higher.
Online bookings and payments with no plan upgrade required
Zanda's booking link can be added to your website and Facebook page at no extra cost, on any plan. Stripe integration for online payments is also included. With MindBody, the website booking link requires the Accelerate plan or an add-on fee, and payments carry a per-transaction processing fee.
Integrated marketing with every account
Zanda includes automated bulk email and SMS campaigns at no added cost, plus a free Mailchimp integration. With MindBody, email marketing requires the Accelerate plan (5x the cost of Zanda), and SMS automation requires the Ultimate plan, nearly 8x the price.
No lock-in contracts
Zanda runs month-to-month. Add or remove practitioners anytime, or cancel with no fees and no data export charges. MindBody requires a 12-month commitment with no early cancellation option.
