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 to be running the same afternoon they sign up. Here is how the two compare at launch.

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 your first 20 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.
Planning your migration from Pabau
Atlacare imports patients and history from a Pabau export and matches your practitioners for you, so nothing is re-keyed by hand. Founding clinics get white-glove help with the first import and a check that your data is complete before go-live. You keep your Pabau account until you're ready to move over fully.
Frequently asked questions
Is Atlacare available now?
Not yet. Atlacare launches in 2026, and this page describes how it compares to Pabau at launch. Join the waitlist for early access and to help decide what founding clinics get first.
Is Atlacare too simple for a growing clinic?
Atlacare is built for solo and small teams, and grows with them: multiple practitioners, locations and rooms are supported on higher plans. It stays focused on the daily workflow rather than adding modules you'd need to configure and maintain.
Can I import my Pabau data?
Yes. Atlacare imports patients, contacts and history from a Pabau export and matches your practitioners automatically. Most clinics move across in an afternoon, with hands-on help for founding clinics.
How much will Atlacare cost?
There's a free plan for your first 20 patients with no card, then simple GBP plans that add unlimited patients, the patient portal, SMS reminders and reporting. Full pricing is published at launch.
