The Clinicminds alternative for UK aesthetic clinics
Clinicminds is a feature-rich aesthetic record system used across multiple countries. Aesta is the leaner, UK-first choice: the parts of a clinic day you actually need, one flat price for your whole team, and free done-for-you migration when you switch.
Aesta vs Clinicminds, side by side
A fair look at where the two differ for a UK aesthetic or skin clinic. Clinicminds has deep feature coverage; Aesta is the lean, UK-first option.
The short version: Clinicminds is a capable, feature-rich system for aesthetic medicine practices, with a wide range of record templates and clinical tools. Aesta is the leaner UK-first alternative: fewer features on purpose, one flat price for your whole team, and free migration when you switch.

Aesta as a Clinicminds alternative
Is Aesta a good Clinicminds alternative?
If you run a UK aesthetic clinic and Clinicminds feels heavier or more feature-heavy than you need for your day-to-day, Aesta focuses on the essentials with one flat price that includes your whole team, and we move your data across for free.
How do I move my data from Clinicminds?
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 Clinicminds?
Aesta is one flat price a month for your whole clinic and team, with a clear price for each extra location. Check Clinicminds’s current plans for their pricing structure. The difference most clinics notice is that Aesta does not charge per person.
Is my patient data safe?
Patient records are encrypted before they reach our database, so they stay readable only by your own clinic, not by us or anyone outside your practice. Aesta is built to support the record-keeping standards UK clinics are held to, including CQC.
When can I start?
