Aesthetic clinic software, honestly compared
Choosing software for a UK aesthetic or skin clinic? Here is how Aesta compares with the tools clinics look at most, from Pabau to Fresha. No hype, no fake reviews, just honest side-by-sides.
What Aesta does differently
Whichever tool you are weighing up, these are the things that set Aesta apart for an aesthetic clinic.
Lean, not all-in-one
The essentials of a clinic day, done calmly: bookings, records, consent, before-and-after photos and payments. None of the bloat you pay for but never use.
One fair price, whole team in
One flat monthly price for your whole clinic and team, with a clear price for each extra location. No per-person fees, no surprises.
Private by design
Patient records are encrypted before they reach our database, so only your clinic can open them. Built for CQC-style record-keeping, and we move you across for free.

Choosing aesthetic clinic software
What is the best Pabau alternative for a UK aesthetic clinic?
It depends on your clinic, but if you want something leaner and more transparent than an all-in-one, Aesta is built only for UK aesthetic and skin clinics, with one flat price that includes your whole team and free done-for-you migration.
Is Aesta right for my clinic?
Aesta suits UK aesthetic and skin clinics that want the essentials done calmly, without paying for features they never use or being charged per person. If you run a busy diary with consent and before-and-after photos, it is built for exactly that.
