ezyVet vs Phorest

ezyVet is cloud-based veterinary practice management software for clinical records, inventory, invoicing, reporting, diagnostic orders, and client communications. It serves general, specialty, emergency, and multi-location practices. Automated billing adds charges for exams, treatments, and notes as work is completed. Practices can order IDEXX tests and have normalized results returned to patient records through IDEXX VetConnect PLUS. More than 100 certified partner integrations cover workflows including diagnostics, payments, and communications; API access supports custom tools, integrations, and reporting. The ezyVet Go mobile app records clinical care information and can work offline. Scheduling includes website and client portal booking, email and SMS reminders, telehealth, recurring appointments, and calendar sync. The cloud service is accessible across devices and includes automatic software enhancements. Pricing starts at $199 a month, with packages varying by practice size; another listed plan is $260.50 a month. Pricing includes unlimited 24/7 support. Security measures include encryption, role-based access, and two-factor sign-ins on AWS infrastructure, and ezyVet has SOC 2 Type 2 compliance based on an independent audit. Direct printing through ezyPrint requires at least one Windows device.

Phorest is management software for salons, spas and clinics, bringing scheduling, client records, payments, marketing and reporting together. Its appointment calendar gathers bookings from phone, website, social media and branded apps, and includes a waiting list. Cloud-based client records can hold notes, treatment history, service prices and durations. Marketing tools cover SMS and email campaigns, automated reminders, rebooking prompts and review requests; booking pages, group booking and payment collection are also listed. The integrations directory includes Shopify, Xero, QuickBooks, Aveda, Vish, mya, SalonScale, SalonCentric, Colourstart and Aesthetic Nurse Software. Phorest says its AWS infrastructure encrypts data in transit, in use and at rest, and that it is GDPR-compliant and HIPAA-certified. PhorestPay is powered by Stripe, and the company says it does not directly store payment information. Plans include tailored setup, data import and training. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web and API. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan or trial, though Phorest offers a product demo.
