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
