We think Cliniko, Jane, Zanda, Fresha and SimplePractice are all genuinely good tools. Here’s a fair, side-by-side look at where each shines — and where Wellspring pulls ahead for therapy and wellness practices.

Fairly, and without the small print.
No feature paywalls and no per-practitioner surprises. Every plan — and your 30-day free trial — includes the lot. You only pay for the practitioners and locations you actually use.
Classes, courses, categories, an attendance register, a page for every course and a booking button you can drop onto any website. Most tools bolt group bookings on; we designed for them.
Reminders that cut no-shows, gift cards, memberships, promo codes, and a Meta Pixel with one-click ‘boost this course’ ad copy — no extra subscriptions.
Tax-aware invoicing (VAT or GST), per-venue bank accounts, Xero, and a tree planted with the Woodland Trust for every subscription — ready for the UK, Australia, US, NZ, Canada and Ireland.
If you bill US insurance, SimplePractice is hard to beat. Love deep charting and telehealth? Jane and Cliniko are superb. Running a salon or spa? Fresha fits. But if you run a therapy or wellness practice and want everything — appointments, classes, online booking, payments, marketing and gift cards — in one simple price, that’s exactly what we built Wellspring for.
Every feature, free for 30 days. No credit card.
