- Pricey if you bill insurance: $20 a month plus $5 per extra full-timer, with Claim.MD paid for separately

How we grade them
| 3.0GPAHalaxyVery good | 1.8GPAJaneWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | ACore software is $0 with no practitioner limit, against a category where nothing else is free outright. Add-ons cost AUD $0.15 to $0.22 a credit. | DBalance is $59 a month but stops at 20 appointments, so a real caseload needs Practice at $79 plus $35 per extra full-time practitioner. That's about double this category's middle of $39, before insurance billing at $20 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | ACalendar, booking, records, invoicing and reports are free with no cap on practitioners, locations or appointments. | FNo free plan and no free trial. Jane offers a demo account to look around instead, so the first month on your own clients is a paid one. |
| Features | CBooking, notes, invoicing and rebate claims, but telehealth, SMS, e-scripts and the AI scribe cost credits, and two-way calendar sync and API are paid subscriptions. | BBranded booking for visits, groups and classes, charting with 10,000+ templates, intake forms, outcome measures, treatment plans, telehealth, payments and a client app. Insurance claims are an add-on rather than missing. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. A practice system takes setup, and add-ons need buying separately. | CNo App Store rating on record. Practitioners, services, rooms and charting templates all take setting up, and without a trial the first look is a demo. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web app with Medicare, NDIS and HICAPS links. Several are Australian. | BWeb for the clinic, a Jane for Clients app for patients, and links to Claim.MD, Fullscript, Physitrack, Wibbi, Google Calendar and others. No app for staff is on record, and no desktop app. |
| Best for | practice management without a monthly fee | clinics with several practitioners and shared rooms |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
