The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro is $28 a month per 50 appointments in the US, which is about the cheaper quarter's $27, and it rises with volume. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free for 2 users, 1,000 patient records and 50 appointments a month, with online booking, a portal and email reminders. A solo clinician under 50 visits can live on it. |
| Features | C | Scheduling, records, video, billing and reports. Insurance claim submission isn't listed on the pricing page. |
| Ease of use | C | A web app that needs setting up for your clinic; no store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with Google Calendar, Outlook and iCal links, but no desktop or phone apps. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Solo practitioners and small private clinics that want a free starting plan
- Clinics outside the US that serve patients in many countries
- Practices that want booking, records and video in one browser tab
Worth knowing
- The Pro price is quoted per 50 appointments a month, so it grows with volume; the free plan stops at 50.
- The pricing page shows different prices by country; $28 is the figure listed for the US.
- Extra modules cost 20% more on top of the base appointment price, and SMS is paid per message.
- Insurance claim submission is not listed on the pricing page.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
