AtlacareCompare
Compare practice management software, honestly
Five side-by-side comparisons. What each one costs, whether it bills in sterling, which region your patient records sit in, and what you get on the free plan.
Most comparison pages are written by whoever is selling. These are ours, so read them with that in mind, and check anything that matters against the vendor's own pricing page.
What we will not do is misrepresent a competitor. Where a rival does something better, the page says so.

The three questions worth asking any vendor
Where is the data stored?
For UK and EU practices handling special category health data, this decides whether international transfer paperwork applies to you. Ask for the region, not just the word "compliant". Atlacare hosts and stores data within the European Economic Area on every plan, with only limited, safeguarded remote access from outside the UK/EEA.
What does it cost in sterling?
A price set in dollars or another currency moves with the exchange rate, and per-practitioner pricing grows with your team. Ask what you will pay in pounds for your actual team size.
Can you export your data if you leave?
Ask what the export contains and who can run it. In Atlacare the account owner can download the patient list as CSV at any time, every export is audit-logged, and a full record for any one patient (appointments, notes and invoices) can be exported individually.
Frequently asked questions
Which practice management software is best for a UK clinic?
It depends on where your data must sit and what you need to document. UK and EU practices handling special category health data should start with data residency, because it decides whether international transfer paperwork applies to you.
Is it hard to move between systems?
Not usually. Atlacare imports patients from Cliniko, Jane, WriteUpp, Carepatron and Pabau with a guided import wizard that has a preset for each, and most practices move across in an afternoon.
Do you offer a free trial?
No. There is a free plan instead: one practitioner, 20 patients, no card and no time limit. You evaluate on real data rather than against a countdown.
