What the pricing really means
At first glance, Halaxy looks cheaper at $0/month vs $19/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where Halaxy wins
- Core platform is genuinely free with unlimited practitioners, locations, and appointments, which no competitor matches
- 700+ built-in clinical templates means you likely do not need to build forms from scratch for your specialty
- No caps on file storage or patient records, so you never hit a wall as your practice grows
- Pay-as-you-go model means you only spend money on SMS, telehealth, or AI features you actually use
Where Zanda wins
- Starts at $19/mo for solo practitioners, which is the cheapest entry point in allied health practice management
- 12-month money-back guarantee means you can commit for a year and still bail if it does not work out
- Customizable clinical note templates let physios, psychologists, and OTs each build their own workflows without workarounds
- Multi-location and room management included on the Growth plan, so expanding clinics do not need to upgrade to a separate tier
- BizzyAI scribe transcribes sessions and generates notes at $1/hour, cheaper than most AI documentation add-ons
Where Halaxy falls short
- Not HIPAA-certified for US users, which makes it a non-starter for US-based practices handling protected health information
- Credit-based pricing for SMS, telehealth, and AI features makes monthly costs unpredictable and hard to budget
- Australian-focused platform with limited US insurance billing, clearinghouse connections, or superbill generation
- Thin review presence on major platforms like G2 and Capterra, so independent validation is harder to find
Where Zanda falls short
- Starter plan caps you at 1,000 appointments, which a busy solo practitioner can hit in under a year
- SMS reminders cost extra at ~9 cents per message plus a $4.99/mo dedicated number fee, and those charges add up fast
- API is still in beta with early access only, so custom integrations are not production-ready yet
- Australian origin means insurance billing and clearinghouse integrations for US payers are limited compared to US-built competitors
