The 8 best best acupuncture software tools, in detail
ClinicSense
Best for: Acupuncture and TCM practices

Cliniko
Best for: Simple all in one clinic management
Cliniko is a cloud practice management system from Australia, built for allied health practitioners, and its pricing model is the simplest in this list. Every subscription includes every feature, and the price changes only with the number of practitioners. One practitioner costs $45 per month, 2 to 5 practitioners cost $95 per month, 6 to 8 cost $145 per month, 9 to 12 cost $195 per month, 13 to 25 cost $295 per month, and 26 to 200 cost $395 per month.
- The feature set covers online booking, treatment notes, invoices, reminders, telehealth, reporting and integrations, with unlimited admin and receptio
- That flat structure suits a clinic that wants to avoid working out which tier holds a feature it needs.
- The trade off is that a solo practitioner pays $45 per month for the full system even if only booking and notes are used, and SMS reminders are charge

- Every feature included on every plan, with no tiered feature ladder
- unlimited admin users, locations, storage and patients
- free data migration and a 30-day free trial with no card required
Cons
- SMS costs 10 cents per message on top of the subscription

Zanda
Best for: Low cost practice management
Zanda is the current name for Power Diary, which rebranded in November 2024. It is a cloud practice management platform for allied health practices, and it covers calendar management, online booking, automated SMS and email reminders, invoicing, note templates, telehealth and client messaging. The Starter plan costs $19 per month for one practitioner and one admin user, with 1,000 appointments and 100 GB of document storage.
- The Growth plan costs $49 per month as a base fee plus $19 per month for each additional practitioner, with unlimited appointments and unlimited free
- The low starting price is real, but the limits around it deserve attention.
- A busy acupuncture clinic can pass 1,000 appointments in a year, which means Starter is a starting point rather than a long term home for a full diary
- Telehealth Pro costs $9 per practitioner per month for unlimited telehealth calls, and SMS costs $0.09 per message sent.

- Lowest starting price in this list at $19 per month
- unlimited free admin users on Growth

SimplePractice
Best for: US practices that bill insurance
SimplePractice is an electronic health record and practice management system for private practices in the United States, and it is the strongest choice in this list for an acupuncture clinic that bills insurance. The vendor pricing page lists Starter at $49 per month, Essential at $79 per month and Plus at $99 per month, with a 50 percent discount for the first 3 months when a new account starts within the first 7 days of the trial. The insurance workflow is the reason to consider SimplePractice despite the higher price.
- Claims are filed from inside the system, with claim scrubbing, electronic remittance advice enrolments and CMS-1500 forms, and no separate clearinghou
- From 1 October 2026, claims cost from $0.39 each, and the free monthly claims that Essential and Plus used to include have ended.

- Insurance claims built in, with electronic claims and superbills
- 30-day free trial with no card required
- telehealth, client portal and online appointment requests on every plan

- each extra clinician costs $74 per month on Plus
Acuity Scheduling
Best for: Booking only, no charting
Acuity Scheduling, now part of Squarespace, is a booking tool rather than a clinic management system, and that distinction should guide the choice. It handles online self scheduling, payments and deposits, email reminders, custom client forms and time zone conversion, and it prices by calendar count rather than by seat. Starter costs $16 per month on annual billing, or $20 per month billed monthly, for one calendar.
- Standard costs $27 per month on annual billing, or $34 per month billed monthly, for up to 6 calendars, and adds text reminders, a waitlist, membershi
- An acupuncture clinic that already keeps notes in another system, or that only needs a booking page, can run well on Acuity for a low monthly cost.
- The limits are clear.
- There is no charting, no SOAP note template, and no billing or invoicing beyond payment collection through a connected processor.
Pros
- Low starting price with flat pricing per account, not per practitioner
- payments through Stripe, Square, PayPal and Venmo
- custom intake forms and automatic time zone conversion
Cons
- No permanent free plan, only a 7-day trial
- text reminders need the Standard plan or higher
- no built in SOAP notes or clinical charting
Vagaro
Best for: Booking, packages and marketplace listing
Vagaro is an all in one salon, spa and fitness business platform, and it works for an acupuncture clinic that sells packages and memberships and wants to be found through a marketplace. The vendor pricing page lists $30.00 per month for one location, with an exclusive rate of $23.99 per month for the first 6 months. Each additional bookable calendar costs $10 per month, and the subscription stops growing after seven calendars.
- The base plan includes calendar and resource management, SOAP notes, memberships, packages, gift certificates, inventory tracking and invoices.
- The add on structure is where the monthly total can grow.
- Forms, which cover consent forms, intake forms and SOAP note templates, cost $10 per month.
- Text marketing costs $20 per month and the MySite website builder costs $20 per month.
Pros
- SOAP notes, memberships, packages, gift certificates and a free marketplace listing included in the base plan
- unlimited notifications and appointment reminders
- online booking on Vagaro, Instagram, Facebook and Apple Maps
Cons

How we chose
We read the pricing page of each vendor on 2026-11-12 and took every starting price from that page. We favoured tools with a page or feature set built for acupuncture, TCM or allied health, and tools that combine booking, charting and billing. We did not claim hands on testing, because this guide is based on vendor pages and documentation, not on use of the products.
How to choose by practice size
| Practice size | Monthly budget | First choice | Starting price | | Solo, part time, under 20 appointments a month | $19 to $39 | Zanda Starter or ClinicSense Lite | $19 or $39 per month | | Solo, full time, over 20 appointments a month | $33 to $49 | Noterro Core or SimplePractice Starter | $33 or $49 per month | | Small team, 2 to 5 practitioners | $45 to $95 | Cliniko or Zanda Growth | $45 or $49 per month base | | Growing clinic, 6 or more practitioners | $95 to $145 | Cliniko or Jane App Practice | $95 or $79 per month base | | Booking only, no charting needed | $16 to $30 | Acuity Scheduling Starter or Vagaro | $16 or $30 per month |
Frequently asked questions
What is the best acupuncture software for a solo practitioner?
ClinicSense Lite at $39 per month suits a part time solo practitioner with up to 20 appointments a month, while Noterro Core at $33 per month suits a solo practitioner who wants a branded booking app. Zanda Starter at $19 per month is the lowest starting price, with a 1,000 appointment cap.
Does acupuncture software need SOAP notes?
Yes, for most practices. SOAP notes record the subjective report, objective findings, assessment and plan for each visit, and they support continuity of care, insurance claims and clear records if a patient returns after a gap. ClinicSense, Jane App, Noterro, Cliniko, Zanda and SimplePractice all include charting or note templates. Acuity Scheduling does not include clinical charting, so it needs a separate notes system.
How much does acupuncture software cost per month?
Starting prices in this guide run from $16 per month for Acuity Scheduling on annual billing to $59 per month for Jane App Balance. ClinicSense starts at $39, Noterro at $33, Cliniko at $45, Zanda at $19, SimplePractice at $49 and Vagaro at $30 per month.
Is there free acupuncture software?
None of the eight tools in this guide offers a permanent free plan. Cliniko, SimplePractice, Zanda, Acuity Scheduling, ClinicSense, Noterro and Vagaro offer free trials, with trial lengths from 7 days for Acuity to 30 days for Cliniko and SimplePractice. Jane App offers no free trial, though a demo can be booked.
Can patients book acupuncture appointments online?
Yes, all eight tools in this guide offer online booking. ClinicSense, Jane App, Noterro, Cliniko, Zanda and SimplePractice include a branded booking page or client portal, while Acuity Scheduling and Vagaro offer booking widgets and listings on social media and maps. Check whether deposits, cancellation policies and intake forms can be collected at booking, because those settings reduce no shows and missing paperwork.
Which tool is best for a multi practitioner acupuncture clinic?
Cliniko suits a team that wants one price per band with every feature included, at $95 per month for 2 to 5 practitioners. Jane App Practice at $79 per month suits a clinic that wants insurance billing as an add on and room scheduling on Thrive. Zanda Growth at $49 per month plus $19 per additional practitioner suits a team that wants low per seat costs and unlimited admin users.
