Nookal vs Raintree (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Nookal if

• Fits if you run a physio or allied health clinic in Australia, New Zealand or the UK
• Makes sense if you have many admin staff, since their logins are free

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you work alone, as one practitioner is $87 a month
• Skip it if you need US insurance claiming, because the listed claim links are mostly elsewhere
• Tight if you want the patient portal or secure messaging, since they are add-ons on Professional
• Watch out: texts start at $0.05 each, JAN AI is $25 per practitioner a month, and the page shows Australian dollars first

Pick Raintree if

• Fits if you run a multi-site physical, occupational or speech therapy group
• Makes sense if you want billing and revenue cycle in the same system

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is published
• Not for you if you are a solo clinician, since the pages describe larger organisations
• Too narrow for talk therapy or general medical practice
• Watch out: no trial is offered, only a demo request

Nookal

• The pricing page shows Australian dollars by default; the US figures here come from price data the page loads for US and Canadian visitors.
• Reminders, claims and add-ons are charged on top: texts from $0.05 each in US dollars, JAN AI $25 per practitioner a month on Professional.
• The patient portal, secure messaging and single sign-on are paid add-ons on Professional and above.
• Claiming integrations the pages list are mostly for Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

Raintree

• No prices, plans or free trial are published; every page points to a demo request.
• The site describes the product as built for rehab therapy, so it is a narrower fit for talk-therapy or general medical practices.
• Its pages describe enterprise and large-organization customers; the pages read do not show a plan for a solo clinician.
