The options
What people compare Cliniko with
Cliniko prices its plans in flat monthly bands by practitioner count, from A$45 a month for one practitioner up to A$395 for a large group, plus 10 cents for every appointment reminder sent by text. Many owners start looking elsewhere once they notice the bill climbs every time they hire a practitioner, the reports only answer the vendor's questions, and years of patient records sit behind an export button.

How to choose a Cliniko alternative
- 1
What the bill is tied to
Cliniko's bill is tied to how many practitioners you employ, in flat bands from A$45 to A$395 a month, with every appointment reminder billed separately at 10 cents a text. Check whether an alternative's cost rises the same way as you grow, or works differently.
- 2
Whether your records stay yours
Years of patient history, treatment notes and invoices can sit inside a vendor's cloud, reachable only through their export tool. Ask whether the records live in a database you own, or whether leaving means exporting everything and rebuilding elsewhere from scratch.
- 3
Whether it fits your own rules
Standard practice software charts what the vendor decided to chart, and the field, report or rule your clinic actually needs waits on a suggestion board until the vendor ships it. Check whether an alternative can be shaped around how your clinic already tracks funder approvals and session caps.
- 4
What the switch itself involves
Moving away from Cliniko means exporting your patient and appointment data and bringing it into whatever you choose next. Ask exactly what that import covers, what stays behind, and who does the work of moving years of clinical notes and invoices across.
The option that fits
Own your practice records instead of renting them
Enterprise DNA builds Allied Health for Claude Code around how your clinic actually works, not a generic set of screens. Your Cliniko records come across, the system runs in plain language through Claude Code, and Enterprise DNA runs it for you for one setup fee and a monthly retainer, with no per-seat pricing to climb as you hire. A free version exists if you would rather run it yourself.

Questions
Cliniko alternatives, answered
How much would switching away from Cliniko actually cost? expand_more
Cliniko charges A$45 to A$395 a month in flat bands by practitioner count, plus 10 cents per text reminder, so the bill rises every time you cross a headcount line. Enterprise DNA builds and runs your own version for one setup fee and a monthly retainer, with no per-seat pricing to climb as your clinic grows.
What happens to my existing patient records if I move? expand_more
Cliniko lets you export your patients and appointments, and that export becomes the starting point for whatever you choose next. Enterprise DNA brings that data across into a database your business owns, and your old notes stay available as a retention copy rather than being re-typed by hand.
Will an alternative handle ACC and Medicare claiming? expand_more
The claim itself still goes to the funder the same way it does today. What an owned version adds is a system that tracks how many sessions each claim has left, refuses bookings that would go over, and keeps its own list of what the funder still owes. Wiring it into a specific claiming channel is a customisation.
Do I have to replace Cliniko all at once? expand_more
No. There is a free version you can run yourself to see how the records and the plain-language system work, without touching your Cliniko account. When you are ready, Enterprise DNA brings your Cliniko data across and builds the version shaped around how your clinic runs.
