e-clinic vs Zanda
The Best e-clinic Alternative for Allied Health Practitioners
Why e-clinic users look for an alternative
e-clinic for practice management works for some practices, but allied health practitioners tend to run into issues like per-user pricing that charges full price for admin and reception seats, no free trial (only a demo booking), and AI note-writing that requires a separate paid Heidi AI subscription. The patient portal has a waitlist, but clients can't add themselves to it, staff have to manage it by hand.
Zanda is built for allied health, with native AI tools included at no extra cost and admin seats that don't add to the bill. Switching comes with a 14-day free trial, 50% off your first six months, and a free full data migration.
e-clinic vs Zanda: top highlights
No risk to try Zanda
e-clinic offers a demo, not a trial, and leaving comes with a data migration quote based on how long the import takes. Zanda gives you a 14-day free trial with full feature access, a 12-month money-back guarantee, and a free full data migration, so nothing about switching costs you extra, before or after.
Additional fees for admin and AI
e-clinic bills per user, including admin and reception seats, and AI note-writing only works through a separate paid Heidi AI subscription. Zanda doesn't charge for non-practitioner seats, and BizzyAI is included.
Automated waitlist
e-clinic's clients can't add themselves to the waitlist, staff have to manage it by hand, one client at a time. Zanda's waitlist is self-service: clients join directly through the portal, and when a slot opens up, Zanda matches it against who's waiting instead of leaving that to the front desk.
Practice Operations Manual
Set your team up for success with every policy in one place. The Practice Operations Manual helps you build clear, professional guidelines across your team, from onboarding new staff to managing daily workflows, without the back-and-forth emails or scattered documents.

Features & flexibility: Zanda vs e-clinic
Zanda's base plan includes native AI tools, full onboarding support, and treatment note templates built for allied health specialties. e-clinic pushes several of these behind a separate subscription or a higher-tier plan.
Everything included, nothing gated
Zanda's Customer Success team is available 7 days a week and the Academy is open on every plan. e-clinic reserves onboarding support for its Enterprise tier, and AI note-writing only works through a separate paid Heidi AI subscription.
Built for allied health, not adapted for it
Physiotherapists get pre-loaded SOAP note templates and psychologists get customizable intake forms, all inside Zanda by default. e-clinic's templates are built around general practice and consultant workflows, so allied health specialties end up working around them rather than with them.
