Coreplus vs Zanda: The Best Alternative to coreplus for Allied Health Practitioners

Why users look for a coreplus alternative

Coreplus for practice management offers a structured setup, but many practitioners seek more flexibility, intuitive workflows, and scalability as their practices grow. Managing multiple clinicians, locations, and integrations can become complex, leading some to look for a simpler, more connected experience.

Zanda is the modern coreplus alternative that’s built for the way you actually work. Our secure, affordable software simplifies everything from scheduling to compliance without hidden fees or clunky workarounds. You’ll have ISO 27001-certified security, free data migration, and human support that prioritizes your success at every step.

Get more value for less

Coreplus’s pricing can add up quickly once you include essentials like online forms, automations, or reporting dashboards. With third-party add-ons such as Snapforms or Cliniq Apps, what starts as A$35 per month can climb to over A$100 just to access core functionality.

Zanda gives you more value upfront. Starting at A$29 per month, our plans have everything you need, including forms, automations, reminders, and a practice manual. Even as your team grows, Zanda stays affordable with fair pricing for additional practitioners.

All-in-one functionality that grows with you

Coreplus relies heavily on add-ons and integrations to fill gaps in functionality, which can complicate daily workflows. Features like automations, online forms, and dashboards often require separate subscriptions, while group telehealth is limited to four participants.
Zanda keeps everything connected in one secure platform. AI-powered notes, automations, forms, and client portals are all built in—no patchwork and no plug-ins required. Host up to 20 participants in telehealth, collect payments online, and manage your entire practice in one place.

Practice Operations Manual

Set clear standards across your practice with the free Practice Operations Manual. Access policy templates for appointments, telehealth, privacy, safety, and more. Each one is designed by allied health professionals to help you run a consistent, compliant, and professional practice without starting from scratch.

Meet Zanda–Your all-in-one practice management solution

Pricing, Value, and Feature Advantage: Zanda vs Coreplus

Pricing & Value: More Affordable Practice Management

Highlight the transparent Pricing Model: Zanda offers clear plans with no hidden fees. For example, “an equivalent account on Zanda can be significantly more affordable than on Coreplus”

This means immediate savings while maintaining all key features.

  • Includes All Core Features: Even Zanda’s base plan includes essentials like telehealth, reminders, and support. If Coreplus charge extra for add-on modules or higher-tier plans to get the same functionality.
  • Scales as You Grow: Whether you’re a solo practitioner or a multi-clinic group, Zanda’s pricing scales gently. Additional practitioners or locations can be added without the exponential jump in cost that you might see with Coreplus’s pricing structure.

Features & Flexibility: Zanda vs Coreplus

Focus on Zanda being an All-in-one software which includes billing & payments, scheduling, client management, etc.
Other things to call out if they’re missing from the Coreplus:

  • Broad Feature Set: Zanda combines appointment scheduling, client portal, electronic health records, billing, and even telehealth in one platform. If Coreplus has limited feature set.
  • Zanda allows custom forms, treatment note templates, and discipline-specific settings. For example, physiotherapists can use pre-loaded SOAP note templates, and psychologists can customize intake forms – all within Zanda. If Coreplus may offer generic templates, but fewer options tailored to allied health specialties.
  • Updates and New Features: Zanda’s team consistently rolls out updates and new features based on user feedback. You’ll benefit from improvements without extra costs. (If Coreplus has been slow to update or missing recent trends like telehealth, mention how Zanda proactively added these.)

Success stories from clinicians

Simple, basic for the fitness industry, no unnecessary components. Customer service is great.
Daniel Jablonka
Livestrong Fitness Solutions
We have found Zanda exceptional in looking after us in our Psychology business. They have looked after us when not understanding some technical things.
Leanne Folling,
Life in Balance Psychology
As a one-woman show, I am able to do what I am trained to do – massage. I don’t have to answer phones, book appointments, email forms, send reminders – the things I need to say to my clients are included in my booking process on the main client portal page.
Vienna M.,
Registered Massage Therapist
Organization is helpful, invoicing is awesome, super easy. Love the online forms and automatic import to file – one less thing I have to do! I love how files and info is stored and how my calendar looks.
Taylor
I have used Zanda for almost 5 years and I have found it a wonderful practice management software. It is always growing and improving.
Natasha Jivan,
Insight Psychology Clinic
We absolutely love Zanda. After initial Zanda training, all our counsellors have reported that the system is easy to understand and to work with. All our client information is automated and in one place – clients fill in their intake forms (admin and clinical) and weekly assessment forms, while they receive appointment reminders in return. Since moving over to Zanda our no-shows are down to near zero!
Kirsty C.,
Managing Director
Zanda is great. It keeps track of appointments and billing. Makes tax and BAS very easy.
Lauren Procter,

Best value for money and very convenient! We have used Zanda since 2015 – it’s a lot better than other providers.
