Every criterion, every platform
Scores out of 5, counted from each vendor’s own pages. A dash means the vendor publishes nothing on that criterion, so it is left out of that vendor’s average rather than scored low.

How this index scores clinic software
Seven criteria, each scored by counting what a vendor’s own public pages evidence, so anyone can recount a score. Three published weightings rank the same evidence for different clinics.
| Criterion | All clinics | Med spas | Weight-loss clinics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clinical and aesthetic charting | 15% | 25% | 10% |
| Weight-loss and GLP-1 programme tools | 15% | 5% | 25% |
| Pricing transparency | 20% | 20% | 20% |
| Payments, memberships and packages | 10% | 15% | 10% |
| Booking and patient engagement | 10% | 15% | 10% |
| Compliance and security | 20% | 10% | 15% |
| Onboarding and support | 10% | 10% | 10% |
- All clinics: core criteria Clinical and aesthetic charting; Weight-loss and GLP-1 programme tools. A platform that publishes nothing on a core criterion scores 1 on it in this ranking, rather than having it left out.
- Med spas: core criterion Clinical and aesthetic charting. A platform that publishes nothing on a core criterion scores 1 on it in this ranking, rather than having it left out.
- Weight-loss clinics: core criterion Weight-loss and GLP-1 programme tools. A platform that publishes nothing on a core criterion scores 1 on it in this ranking, rather than having it left out.
Clinical and aesthetic charting
The clinical record a med spa or clinic keeps, as the platform describes it: treatment charting, photos, consents and product tracking.
- Injectable, face or body charting that maps units or treatment areas
- Before and after photo capture or management
- Digital consent forms
- Product lot, batch or inventory tracking
All 4 items published scores 5, 3 scores 4, 2 scores 3 and 1 scores 2. A platform that says it does not chart scores 1. Not mentioned at all: not scored.
Weight-loss and GLP-1 programme tools
What a weight-loss or GLP-1 clinic needs beyond a calendar: prescribing, progress tracking, programme tooling and the lab or pharmacy connection.
- E-prescribing
- Weight or body-composition tracking, or remote progress check-ins (general telehealth visits do not count)
- Weight-loss or GLP-1 programme, protocol or subscription tooling
- Lab ordering and results, or a pharmacy integration
All 4 items published scores 5, 3 scores 4, 2 scores 3 and 1 scores 2. A platform that says it does not offer these scores 1. Not mentioned at all: not scored.
Pricing transparency
Whether a clinic can see what the software costs before booking a demo. Always scored: publishing no price is the finding, not a gap in the evidence.
- Every plan has a published price
- Payment processing rates are published
- A starting price, or some plans, are priced
- A pricing page describes the plans without figures
Every plan priced and processing rates published scores 5; every plan priced scores 4; a starting price or some plans priced scores 3; plans described without figures scores 2; no pricing at all scores 1.
Payments, memberships and packages
How the platform takes money: payments, recurring memberships, packages and deposits.
- Integrated card payments or point of sale
- Memberships or recurring subscriptions
- Packages, prepaid series or gift cards
- Deposits, cancellation fees or patient financing
All 4 items published scores 5, 3 scores 4, 2 scores 3 and 1 scores 2. Not mentioned at all: not scored.
Booking and patient engagement
How patients book, are reminded and stay in touch.
- Online self-booking
- Automated appointment reminders
- Two-way texting or messaging
- A patient portal or patient app
- Marketing automation, reviews or loyalty
4 or 5 items published scores 5, 3 scores 4, 2 scores 3 and 1 scores 2. Not mentioned at all: not scored.
Compliance and security
What the vendor states about protecting patient data and controlled-substance prescribing. A claim counts only in the words the vendor uses: "HIPAA-compliant" is not the same as signing a BAA.
- States HIPAA compliance
- States it signs a business associate agreement (BAA)
- States support for controlled-substance e-prescribing (EPCS)
- States SOC 2, HITRUST or ISO 27001
All 4 items published scores 5, 3 scores 4, 2 scores 3 and 1 scores 2. Not mentioned at all: not scored.
Onboarding and support
How a clinic gets started and gets help.
- Free trial or self-serve signup
- Data migration or import offered
- Onboarding or training included
- Support channels or hours published
All 4 items published scores 5, 3 scores 4, 2 scores 3 and 1 scores 2. Not mentioned at all: not scored.
Questions clinics ask
What is the best software for a weight-loss clinic?
On what each vendor publishes, Healthie scores highest under the weight-loss clinics weighting, at 4.6 out of 5, followed by OptiMantra (4.3) and Pabau (4.2). Each score counts published features, pricing and compliance statements, and every review shows the evidence behind it.
Which clinic software publishes its pricing?
Healthie and OptiMantra publish a price for every plan. CharmHealth and Akute Health publish a starting price or some plan prices. 1 of the 8 platforms ranked here publish no pricing at all, so a clinic sees a price only after a demo or a quote.
Which platforms say they sign a BAA?
Healthie, OptiMantra, Pabau, PatientNow, CharmHealth, Zenoti, Prospyr and Akute Health state on their own pages that they sign a business associate agreement. A HIPAA claim and a signed BAA are different things, so this index counts them separately.
Which clinic software includes e-prescribing?
Healthie, OptiMantra, Pabau, PatientNow, CharmHealth, Zenoti, Prospyr and Akute Health publish e-prescribing. Check each review for whether controlled-substance (EPCS) certification is also stated.
How are these scores calculated?
Each platform is scored on 7 criteria by counting what its own public pages evidence, such as a published price for every plan or a stated BAA. Criteria a vendor says nothing about are left out of its average, with two exceptions: publishing no pricing scores 1, and so does publishing nothing on a criterion this ranking treats as core (Weight-loss and GLP-1 programme tools). The weights for this ranking are printed below, and the same arithmetic scores the sourcing platform index.
Clinic Partner Guide has no commercial relationship with any vendor in this index. None paid to be included, and none saw its scores before they were published. Every score was read from the vendor’s own public pages on the date shown on its review. Third-party review sites are not used as evidence.
