Where Wellspring pulls ahead
Fairly, and without the small print.
Clear plans, no per-appointment fees
Planted and above include everything. Solo covers the essentials, without gift vouchers, memberships, promo codes or signed disclaimers. You only pay for the practitioners and locations you actually use, and every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.
Built for group programmes
Classes, courses, categories, an attendance register, a page for every course and a booking button you can drop onto any website. Most tools bolt group bookings on; we designed for them.
Grow-your-practice tools in the box
Reminders that cut no-shows, and on Planted and above gift cards, memberships and promo codes, plus a Meta Pixel with one-click ‘boost this course’ ad copy — no extra subscriptions.
Local where it counts
Tax-aware invoicing (VAT or GST), per-venue bank accounts and a tree planted with the Woodland Trust for every subscription — ready for the UK, Australia, US, NZ, Canada and Ireland.
If you bill US insurance, SimplePractice is hard to beat. Love deep charting and telehealth? Jane and Cliniko are superb. Running a salon or spa? Fresha fits. Purely group classes with no clinical side at all? Bookeo’s Classes & Courses module does that one job well. But if you run a therapy or wellness practice and want everything — appointments, classes, client records, online booking, payments, marketing and gift cards — in one simple price, that’s exactly what we built Wellspring for.
