The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Vetspire quote-only pricing with no published rates; 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.
  • They diverge on capability: Vetspire covers Structured clinical records, Zanda Health covers Unlimited admin users.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Vetspire

  • Multi-site veterinary groups needing consistent clinical protocolsnot Zanda Health
  • Practices wanting queryable clinical data rather than free-text historynot Zanda Health
  • Groups measuring clinician-level performance and outcomesnot 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 Vetspire
  • A psychology group practice with more reception staff than clinicians, where per seat pricing elsewhere would double the billnot Vetspire
  • A UK osteopathy practice moving off paper diaries that needs online booking and card payment without an implementation projectnot Vetspire
  • A multi site podiatry business that needs room and equipment allocation alongside practitioner availabilitynot Vetspire

Where each one falls short

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

Vetspire

  • Quote-only pricing with no published rates
  • A newer entrant, so its track record is shorter than established systems
  • Structured records take more effort to enter than free text, and clinician adoption is the main implementation risk
  • Strongest in the US market, with less coverage elsewhere

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.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Vetspire: What does Vetspire cost?

Pricing is quoted per practice and is not published.

Zanda Health: Is Zanda Health the same as Power Diary?

Yes. Power Diary rebranded to Zanda Health in 2024. Same company, same product line, same data.

Vetspire: Why structured clinical records?

Free-text notes cannot be queried or checked against protocols. Structured fields make history searchable and let the system prompt during consultations.

Zanda Health: Do receptionists count as paid users?

No. On the Growth plan administrative users are unlimited and free. Only practitioners are charged.

Vetspire: Vetspire or ezyVet?

ezyVet is the more established system with broader administrative depth. Vetspire competes on the clinical side, particularly structured records and decision support.

Zanda Health: Does it handle Medicare bulk billing?

Yes, Medicare Online, DVA and bulk billing claims are submitted from within the platform for Australian practices.

Zanda Health: Is it suitable for a United States practice?

Only partly. Charting, scheduling and telehealth work, but there is no claims clearinghouse, so US insurance billing needs a separate system.
