Calyx review
A broad clinic platform with a useful free tier, but a high paid starting point.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Calyx is clinic management software for UK aesthetic and skin clinics. It brings appointment scheduling, online booking, unified patient records, clinical notes, treatment history, digital consent forms, prescriptions, inventory, payments, patient messaging and reporting into one system. Separate admin, clinical and patient portals support different workflows, while web, iOS and Android access suits clinics that need mobile availability. The free tier makes Calyx particularly relevant to solo practitioners and small teams starting with core booking and payment needs.
Pricing is structured around clinic size and operational depth. Free supports 2 practitioners and up to 100 patients, with a calendar, online booking link, patient portal with booking, and card payments and terminal. Professional costs £249 per month and adds support for up to 8 practitioners, full clinical records, AI clinical notes, prescriptions and inventory, custom forms, and Xero accounting. Clinic Pro costs £499 per month and adds unlimited practitioners, multi-location support, analytics, priority support, and the Patient Marketing Suite. Enterprise adds unlimited locations, centralised reporting, a dedicated account manager, SLA-backed uptime, and an optional white-label client portal. The free tier carries a 1% Calyx platform fee on card payments, and a 30-day trial is available.
The product’s breadth is its main strength: digital consent forms include signatures, timestamps and version tracking; POM prescription workflows, supplier ordering, clinical photography, deposits, terminal payments, secure messaging and treatment history cover much of a clinic’s daily administration. Integrations with Stripe, Square, Xero and WhatsApp Business extend that workflow. Calyx focuses on UK GDPR and explicitly does not claim HIPAA support, so it is better suited to UK aesthetic practices than organisations requiring HIPAA support. Clinics should choose it for its free entry point, mobile apps and broad clinical toolkit; larger or internationally regulated teams should assess whether its stated compliance posture fits their requirements.
