TM3 vs Zanda: The Best Alternative to TM3 for Allied Health Practitioners

Why users look for a TM3 alternative

Running an allied health practice is demanding enough without software adding friction. Many practices using TM3 for practice management reach a point where the features they need are locked behind premium tiers, and admin tools don't match how they work day to day. Between admin user costs, onboarding fees, and limited flexibility, it's easy to feel boxed in by the system meant to help.

Zanda was built to remove those barriers. Designed by practitioners, it brings scheduling, billing, notes, communication, automation, and secure AI together in one connected platform. Pricing is straightforward, admin users are free, and support is included.

TM3 vs Zanda: Top highlights

1

Transparent pricing

Transparent pricing

When software costs are hidden behind quotes, it creates unnecessary stress. TM3 charges for every admin user, including reception, and information about onboarding or data migration costs isn't available online. As practices grow, extra charges can add up quickly, making it harder to budget with confidence.

Zanda keeps pricing simple and upfront. You pay per practitioner; admin users are free, and data migration comes at no additional charge. Support is included from day one. There's also a 12-month money-back guarantee, so you can move forward knowing that we're working hard to earn your trust.

Features designed for unlimited potential

Features designed for unlimited potential

As practices grow, core workflows can end up locked behind higher pricing tiers. With TM3, features such as the client portal, online payments, class management, and automated debt collection are available only with the more expensive Connect plan. That means paying extra just to run everyday admin.

Zanda takes a simpler approach. All essential features are available across all plans, including two-way SMS, automated forms, invoicing automations, and the client portal. You're not pushed into upgrades just to complete basic tasks. Your workflows stay consistent, your team stays aligned, and your system supports your practice's needs.

3

Affordable, in-platform AI

Affordable, in-platform AI

AI should support clinicians without introducing extra steps into workflows. With TM3, AI-generated notes require integration and need to be manually copied into clinical records unless you're on a higher-cost plan. Automatic field population comes at a premium, and AI pricing increases per user, which can limit adoption across teams.

Zanda includes BizzyAI: Refine and BizzyAI: Write as part of the standard subscription. You can polish notes and draft templates and letters at no additional cost. BizzyAI: Scribe drafts clinical notes and runs on pay-as-you-go pricing at just £1 per transcription hour, so you only pay for what you actually use.

Practice Operations Manual

Practice Operations Manual

Zanda includes an in-platform Practice Operations Manual with over 100 policy and procedure templates. Developed by industry experts, it helps you set expectations, reduce risk, and support compliance.

What customers say after switching to Zanda

I use Zanda for my private practice as a therapist with diary management, record keeping, telehealth calls, and invoicing, and have been doing so for a couple of years. It is a straightforward system to use for invoicing, and this helps me keep on top of the financial aspects of my work.
Lydia Pell
Zanda actually listens to its customers. New features keep arriving.
Edyta Kubieniec, Project / Implementation Lead (oversees clinic software across allied health disciplines)
James Cook University (JCU) — student-led clinics
I have been using Zanda for 18 months now to run my massage and personal training businesses. I use it to keep client records and keeping my diary. The app is easy to use and has helped me progress my business to the next level.
Adam
All the stuff I thought I'd need an entire team to do is actually a lot more manageable as one person. That was pretty surprising.
Jo Anna Sena, Owner
Counselor
After years of typing notes through every session, my wrists were hurting and the screen time was wrecking my eyes. With Bizzy AI, I can cover the screen and just talk with my client. That's how therapy is meant to be
Shalav, Solo Private Practice
Psychologist
It was surprisingly easy and surprisingly quite seamless… especially because the way that I do work is probably more of a niche within the chiropractic field.
