Our Verdict
Cliniko's pricing reflects the depth of its practice management features — clinical notes, treatment histories, telehealth, and compliance are all included. For allied health practitioners who use those tools daily, $49/month for a solo plan is reasonable. But if your practice primarily needs appointment scheduling and client communication, SchedulingKit's free plan or $12/seat/month Standard plan delivers AI-powered booking, CRM, and lead capture at a significantly lower cost. The key question is whether you need clinical documentation or scheduling automation.
Cliniko Pricing FAQs
How much does Cliniko cost per month?
Cliniko starts at $49/month for a solo practitioner. Team plans are $99/month (2-5 practitioners), $149/month (6-10), and $249-349/month for larger teams. All plans include the full feature set — pricing scales only by practitioner count.
Does Cliniko have a free plan?
No. Cliniko offers a 30-day free trial but no ongoing free plan. After the trial, you must subscribe to continue using the platform.
Is Cliniko cheaper than SchedulingKit?
No. Cliniko starts at $49/month for one practitioner. SchedulingKit has a free plan, and paid plans start at $12/seat/month ($10 annual). However, Cliniko includes clinical notes and treatment histories that SchedulingKit doesn't offer.
Does Cliniko charge per practitioner?
Cliniko uses tiered flat-rate pricing based on practitioner count ranges rather than per-seat. The Solo plan ($49/mo) covers 1 practitioner, Team ($99/mo) covers 2-5, and larger plans scale from there.
Are SMS costs included in Cliniko pricing?
No. Cliniko bills SMS communication separately based on usage and the destination country. This is an additional cost on top of the monthly subscription.
