Best for practice management for private clinics, with a free plan
Medesk is browser-based practice management with scheduling, patient records, a portal and video calls. The free plan stops at 2 users and 50 appointments a month, and the Pro price grows with appointment volume.
Who Medesk is for
- Fits if you're a solo or two-person clinic with under 50 visits a month
- Works for private clinicians outside the US who want online booking
Who Medesk is not for
- Tight if you grow past 50 appointments a month, as you must move to Pro
- Pricey if you add modules, which cost 20% more on the base, and SMS is charged per message
- Watch out: the pricing page shows different prices by country, and $28 is the US figure
- Skip it if you bill insurers, since claim submission isn't listed

Keep Medesk, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Medesk you would be making video sessions that meet health privacy rules. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 46 of the 60 other therapy and clinic software we grade. It costs $336 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking, clinical notes, invoicing and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Video sessions that meet health privacy rules.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Medesk’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
