ClinicSense: the Vagaro alternative you've been looking for
They're trying to sell you more stuff. ClinicSense focuses entirely on helping your practice grow. Learn how.
Their business model is add-ons. Ours is your success.
Vagaro's starting price can seem enticing. But if you want more than just the basics? That'll cost you extra. Forms, email marketing, gift cards, integrations and more all come at a price that can add up fast.
Support crew? Absolute legends at dodging. "It's you, not us." Then they hit you with video homework, screenshot marathons, days of your life gone. Finally: "Wait two weeks for Apple to save our butts." Fixes for a hot minute, then same clown show repeats. Infinite loop of fail.
They'd rather spam promo garbage than fix basics. Greed dialed to 11. Can't even cough up a $150 credit for their own screw-up. 😂 Zero accountability."
I had to get my credit card company involved. Read the fine print and stay away. There are better more reputable apps out there."

Features Vagaro charges extra for. Included in ClinicSense
In ClinicSense, the tools health practitioners actually use are part of the platform. Not line items on an add-on menu.
Availability summary emails
ClinicSense scans your calendar and automatically sends clients a summary of your open availability, prompting them to book before someone else does. Practitioners using this feature are seeing an average of $960 more per month. Vagaro doesn't offer this at any price.
Intake & consent forms
In Vagaro, forms are a paid add-on. In ClinicSense, customizable intake and consent forms are included. Build them once, send them automatically before appointments, and keep everything organized in each client's profile.
SOAP note short codes
Speed through clinical documentation without sacrificing detail. ClinicSense SOAP note short codes let you insert pre-written phrases with a few keystrokes, keeping your notes thorough and your time between clients intact. Not available in Vagaro.
Direct insurance billing
For Canadian practitioners, ClinicSense handles direct insurance billing built right into the platform. Submit claims without leaving your software, and give clients a smoother experience from session to payment.
Free data migration
Switching software is easier than you think. ClinicSense migrates your client records, SOAP notes, appointment history, and intake forms for free. Our team does the work. You just show up ready to book.
Free account audits
ClinicSense doesn't just onboard you and disappear. Our team offers free account audits to make sure your setup is working the way it should, and to flag anything you might be missing. Ongoing support that's hard to find at any price.
