Cliniko vs PT Practice Pro

Cliniko is practice management software for clinics and allied health practitioners. It combines appointment scheduling, treatment notes, invoices, payments, expenses, taxes, reporting, and business management tools. Its calendar supports online bookings, repeat appointments, and flexible views. Treatment notes can be customized, searched, stored in the cloud, and opened from any device; patient records can also include attached files. Cliniko lists 99 connected apps, most developed by third parties, with Xero and Mailchimp among the examples. A REST API returns JSON over HTTPS. There is no native mobile app, but Cliniko is mobile-friendly in a browser on phones and tablets. Cliniko says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up daily, and monitored around the clock. It also states that it meets or exceeds Australian Privacy Principles, GDPR, PIPEDA, and HIPAA requirements. The one-practitioner plan is $45/mo, and a 30-day trial is available. SMS credits cost 10¢ per message; connected apps may charge separately.

PT Practice Pro is a cloud-based EMR and practice management platform for outpatient physical, occupational, speech-language, and pediatric therapy practices. It combines patient records, treatment documentation, scheduling, billing, exercise programs, and telehealth in one system. Clinicians can create SOAP evaluations, daily and progress notes, discharge summaries, therapy templates, and flowsheets. AI tools draft SOAP notes and suggest goals and codes, while clinicians review and sign them. Scheduling handles drag-and-drop appointments, recurring visits, conflict detection, and coordination across providers and locations. Signed notes connect with billing and claims through payer-rule checks, claim scrubbing, and denial management. Therapists can assign video-based home exercise programs and track adherence through a portal, with Wibbi providing an exercise library. Browser telehealth includes encrypted video, reminders, screen sharing, and a waiting room without an app. The service runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with no machine-by-machine installation. Pricing is on request.
