ClinicYou vs. Zanda

The Best Alternative to ClinicYou for Allied Health Practitioners

Why users look for a ClinicYou alternative

Choosing the most suitable practice management system is an important, but often difficult, decision, and whilst ClinicYou and Zanda have a few similar functions, there are some important differences that really set them apart.

In short, if your practice would benefit from online bookings, seamless two-way communication, and pre-prepared treatment note templates, then Zanda is the most logical option for you. Particularly if you want to retain your historical data by importing from an existing system.

ClinicYou vs Zanda: Top highlights

1

Over 100 free customizable note templates

Over 100 free customizable note templates

A favorite feature within Zanda is our treatment note templates. With the right templates in place, hours of time can be saved. As Zanda supports health professionals across 85 health sectors, we've created specialized templates to suit a wide variety of professions and specializations.

All templates can be duplicated and customized to suit your practice; simply add text and note sections, image and anatomy charting with annotations, multiple-choice and tick-box options, and more. Alternatively, you can create your own templates from scratch.

With ClinicYou, you have the option to add text notes to the client file and add attachments, but nothing in the way of treatment note templates.

Pricing to suit practices of all sizes

Pricing to suit practices of all sizes

Pricing is undoubtedly a major factor when choosing the best system for your practice. ClinicYou and Zanda's pricing structures are very different. ClinicYou's pricing is linear: each account incurs the same cost, regardless of the number of diaries you require. This can quickly add up, particularly in periods of growth.

Zanda supports growth by offering four plan sizes based on the number of diaries your practice requires; the more diaries you need, the lower the per-account cost. Every account has the same features and access, and you can add or remove diaries at any time.

3

Streamline with an advanced client portal

Streamline with an advanced client portal

A client portal can significantly improve your practice's efficiency by reducing time spent on administrative tasks. While both ClinicYou and Zanda have a portal, they offer very different functionality, with the most notable difference being the online booking capabilities.

Zanda enables clients to book and manage their own appointments. This includes viewing their preferred clinician's availability before booking, which offers convenience for both parties and enables around-the-clock bookings. New bookings are automatically updated in the calendar. Other features include two-way chat, telehealth, statements, billing, and more. It's also worth noting that Zanda's client portal can be branded to suit your practice.

ClinicYou's portal is very limited in comparison, with no online bookings, two-way communication, or the option to apply your branding. Clients can, however, log in for video consultations, messages, and to access or upload health records.

Practice Operations Manual

Practice Operations Manual

Well-thought-out policies and procedures are essential for any health practice, but they're also time-consuming to create. When you start with Zanda, you're choosing the only practice management system with an in-platform Practice Operations Manual, including more than 100 policy and procedure templates designed to save you time and money. You can edit, delete and archive the existing policies, or add your own.

With ClinicYou, there's no in-platform Practice Operations Manual available. In fact, no other practice management system offers this feature.

What Zanda customers are saying

I am so glad that I switched from a previous, less effective software to Zanda. Despite not being a software guru, I could get used to many helpful features on Zanda to reduce the administrative work to a minimum. The Online Booking and Forms features are so practical that give clients the freedom to book and submit information themselves. No more time-consuming back-and-forth emails.
Selma Yanik
Lots of automations that make admin easy. Lots of developments over time that continue to improve the software. Lots of engagement with users to figure out what people want and need out of the software.
