Cliniko
- Priced in practitioner bands rather than per seat, so a clinic adding a sixth practitioner jumps from $95 to $145 a month
- The top published band stops at 200 practitioners
- SMS is charged separately at 10 cents a message
- Telehealth requires entering card details before it unlocks, even during the trial
- There is no free tier, only a 30 day trial
