The short version

  • Only Phreesia has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Phreesia no price is published: the vendor states pricing is customised to organisation size, workflows and products used, and is given only as a tailored quote; Zanda Health the 2024 rename from Power Diary means most third party reviews, integration guides and community answers still sit under the old name, so buyers researching Zanda Health find a thin trail and may wrongly conclude it is a new and unproven product.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

  • Collecting patient payments as part of the intake workflownot Zanda Health
  • Automating clinical screening questionnaires at check-innot Zanda Health

Zanda Health

  • A five physiotherapist clinic in Melbourne that bulk bills Medicare and wants claiming inside the diary rather than a separate portalnot Phreesia
  • A psychology group practice with more reception staff than clinicians, where per seat pricing elsewhere would double the billnot Phreesia

  • A multi site podiatry business that needs room and equipment allocation alongside practitioner availabilitynot Phreesia

Where each one falls short

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

Phreesia

  • No price is published: the vendor states pricing is customised to organisation size, workflows and products used, and is given only as a tailored quote
  • The current free access to the Intake platform is time limited and ends on 31 December 2026, with the rate that follows undisclosed
  • A buyer must book a demo before receiving any figure

Zanda Health

  • The 2024 rename from Power Diary means most third party reviews, integration guides and community answers still sit under the old name, so buyers researching Zanda Health find a thin trail and may wrongly conclude it is a new and unproven product.
  • North American billing is not properly served: there is no claims clearinghouse and superbill handling is basic, so a United States practice will need a separate revenue cycle tool and will pay for two systems.
  • Pricing is quoted in United States dollars while the company, support hours and product depth are Australian, so buyers outside those two time zones get support with an overnight lag on urgent clinical scheduling problems.
  • SMS is billed per message beyond the plan allowance and a dedicated number is required in the United States and Canada, so a busy clinic sending reminders and follow ups accumulates a variable monthly cost that is not visible in the headline plan price.
  • Reporting is adequate for a single clinic but weak for a group: cross site financial consolidation and practitioner productivity comparison generally end up exported to a spreadsheet, which becomes a monthly manual job as soon as you pass a handful of locations.
