Cliniko review
A broad scheduling and practice management platform for growing clinics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cliniko is cloud-based practice management software for clinics and allied health practitioners. It combines appointment scheduling with online bookings, automated email and SMS reminders, waitlist management, recurring appointments, telehealth video consultations, digital patient forms, treatment notes, invoicing, reporting, and online payments through Stripe. Patients can book appointments, complete forms, receive reminders, join video consultations, and pay online through a web browser. It is a strong fit for practices that want scheduling alongside broader administrative workflows.
Pricing is organized by practitioner count, with monthly USD plans starting at $45 for 1 practitioner. That plan includes every Cliniko feature, unlimited admin users, unlimited reception users, unlimited locations, and unlimited patients. The 2 to 5 practitioner plan costs $95 per month; 6 to 8 costs $145; 9 to 12 costs $195; 13 to 25 costs $295; and 26 to 200 costs $395. A 30-day free trial is available, and annual billing includes one month free each year. The pricing structure suits practices that need to scale across providers, although there is no free plan.
Its platform fit is practical rather than narrowly focused: Cliniko runs through web browsers, offers a public REST API, and integrates with Stripe, Xero, Mailchimp, and Medipass. The combination of bookings, reminders, forms, telehealth, payments, locations, and financial management gives established practices a wide operational base in one system. Choose Cliniko if your practice needs scheduling connected to patient administration and billing; consider a more specialized or lower-cost option if you only need basic appointment booking or want a free plan.
