The short version

  • Each has a real cost: ChiroTouch chiroTouch does not publish specific pricing amounts on their website; Nookal the features most multi-practitioner clinics need, including advanced reporting, custom forms and automated recalls, are held back to the Professional tier, so the AUD 49 entry price is not a realistic budget for anything beyond a solo practice.
  • They diverge on capability: ChiroTouch covers Practice Management, Nookal covers Per practitioner pricing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ChiroTouch

  • ChiroTouch does not publish specific pricing amounts on their website
  • Three tiers exist (Start, Grow, Scale) but prices are not displayed
  • Company directs customers to book a demo or call 800.852.1771 for pricing details
  • Optional add-ons (CT Pay, CT Billing Suite, CT SmartFit) have unknown pricing
  • All ChiroTouch plans include AI features and unlimited support but cost comparison requires direct contact

Nookal

  • The features most multi-practitioner clinics need, including advanced reporting, custom forms and automated recalls, are held back to the Professional tier, so the AUD 49 entry price is not a realistic budget for anything beyond a solo practice.
  • Add-ons stack quickly: AI and voice at about USD 25 per active licence, the patient portal from USD 10 per location and secure messaging from USD 1.50 per user can push a seat close to double its list price.
  • Pricing is not a simple currency conversion, with the USD Essentials tier at 65 and Professional at 89 against AUD 49 and 59, so overseas clinics pay a meaningful premium for the same software.
  • Messaging and claiming are metered per SMS and per claim, so a clinic that leans on reminders to control no-shows finds a variable line item that grows with appointment volume and is easy to underestimate at purchase.
  • Single sign-on is quoted rather than listed and sits with the Enterprise tier, which puts basic identity governance out of reach for mid-sized groups that would otherwise stay on Professional.
