Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 10 of the 12 other therapy and clinic software we grade
Zanda is cloud practice management software for psychologists, counselors, physiotherapists, speech pathologists and other health practitioners. It covers scheduling with waitlists and rooms, a client booking portal, session notes and forms, invoicing, insurance claims and telehealth, with BizzyAI writing and scribe tools built in. It runs in the browser rather than in apps.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Zanda, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Rooms, locations, note templates, forms and the clearing house enrollment all need setting up first.
- 1
Best for allied health and therapy clinics in the browser
Zanda runs scheduling, a client portal, notes, invoicing, US claims and telehealth in the browser, from $19 a month for one practitioner.
- 2
Paid plans start at $19 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $19 per month (Starter, one practitioner).

Keep it
To replace Zanda 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.

The report card
Best for allied health and therapy clinics in the browser
Zanda runs scheduling, a client portal, notes, invoicing, US claims and telehealth in the browser, from $19 a month for one practitioner. There's no mobile app, texts need a $4.99 number plus 9¢ a message past 35, and unlimited AI scribing, more locations and a second practitioner all cost extra.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is $19 a month for one practitioner with unlimited clients and 1,000 appointments, inside this category's cheaper quarter ($25). Five practitioners on Growth come to $125, or $25 each. Texts, AI Pro and Telehealth Pro are extra. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day trial with no card needed, and no free plan, so you're paying from week three. |
| Features | B | Scheduling with waitlists and rooms, a booking portal, note templates, body charts, scored forms, invoicing, US claims through a clearing house, telehealth and BizzyAI writing. AI scribing stops at 4 sessions a month without AI Pro. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record. Rooms, locations, note templates, forms and the clearing house enrollment all need setting up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | It runs in the browser on computers, tablets and phones, with Stripe, Zoom, Xero, Mailchimp, Google Calendar and Outlook. There are no native apps for any device. |
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 Zanda is for
- Fits if you're a solo practitioner who wants unlimited clients for $19 a month

Who it is not for

- Watch out: texts need a dedicated number at $4.99 a month with 35 credits, then 9¢ an SMS
- Pricey if you scribe every session: 4 AI Scribe sessions a month are free, then AI Pro is $19 a user, Telehealth Pro $9
- Watch out: claims carry a $50 enrollment fee, 15¢ a claim and 10¢ an ERA, and Stripe takes 2.9% + 30¢ plus 50¢

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
10/12
Other therapy and clinic software it is graded above
Zanda's GPA of 2.6 is higher than 10 of the 12 other therapy and clinic software we grade, and level with 1.
It stands best on value for money (B, above 11 of 12) and worst on ease of use (C, above 0).
Its paid plans start at $19 a month, against a middle price of $39 for the category: 1 of the 10 others that charge start lower.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.7 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 13 therapy and clinic software we grade, cut by the letter each got. Zanda’s own letter is outlined.

Price against what you get
Each dot is one of 11 therapy and clinic software. Further left costs less; higher up scores better on features, ease of use and platforms. Zanda is the marked dot.

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 Zanda 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 2.6 is higher than 10 of the 12 other therapy and clinic software we grade. It costs $228 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking and clinical notes: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Video sessions that meet health privacy rules.
- Insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, Zoom and Xero among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: HIPAA.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Zanda’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.
