The simple way to run a small practice
Pabau is a broad, capable platform that scales into large, complex clinics. Atlacare is aimed squarely at solo practitioners and small teams that want a guided setup they can finish themselves. Here is how the two compare.

Why practices switch
Why small practices look at Atlacare
The product does the handful of things a clinic runs on every day, and does them without a configuration project first.
You can be taking bookings the same day you sign up, with a guided setup rather than a scheduled onboarding call.
Pricing is simple and starts free for up to 20 active patients, so a solo practitioner isn't paying enterprise rates for a one-room clinic.
The interface stays calm and uncluttered, because features you don't use aren't sitting in front of the ones you do.
A single Practice Health score points you at the next thing to fix, instead of a reporting suite you have to learn.
Migration
Planning your migration from Pabau
Atlacare imports your patient list from a Pabau export and matches your practitioners for you, so patient details are not re-keyed by hand. Clinical notes and appointment history are not imported, so keep your Pabau export of those. We can help with the first import and check that your data is complete before go-live. You keep your Pabau account until you're ready to move over fully.
