Questions

Aesta as an Aesthetic Nurse Software alternative

Is Aesta a good Aesthetic Nurse Software alternative?

ANS is well-regarded among UK aesthetic nurses. If your clinic is growing and you want a system that covers your whole team, not just the practitioner, with one flat price and no per-person fees, Aesta is worth considering. Check ANS’s current features and pricing before deciding.

How do I move my data from ANS?

You do not have to do it yourself. When you join, a real person on our team brings your patients, histories, consent forms and before-and-after photos into Aesta for you, and checks every record before you start. Nothing is lost or retyped.

How much does Aesta cost compared with ANS?

Aesta is one flat price a month for your whole clinic and team, with a clear price for each extra location. Check ANS’s current plans for their pricing structure. The difference most clinics notice is that Aesta does not charge per person.
