Choosing what's best for your practice
splose and Cliniko each bring their own advantages, and the right fit will depend on factors like where your practice is based, the size of your team, and your preferred way of working.
Cliniko is known for its "Connected Apps" ecosystem. However, because it aims to remain a "pure" management tool, many modern features like AI note-taking or advanced clinical tools require you to pay for and manage separate third-party subscriptions.
splose represents the next generation of PMS. We build cutting-edge tools, like AI-powered progress notes and voice-to-text, directly into the core platform. This means you get a unified experience without the "subscription bloat."
For practices looking to reduce admin time through native automation and a modern, sleek interface, splose is often the preferred choice.

About Cliniko
Cliniko is a cloud-based practice management system used by clinics globally. It is known for its "app store" approach to features.
While highly functional, users often need to integrate with external apps to access AI features or advanced marketing tools.
It is a trusted choice for many, though practitioners find the interface and the need for external plugins more cumbersome as they grow.

Start Your Free TrialIf you find yourself constantly jumping between tabs or paying extra for third-party AI scribes and marketing tools, splose is likely the right fit. It’s perfect for growing Allied Health teams who want a unified system that handles everything from NDIS-ready invoicing and complex group bookings to automated waitlist management, all in one place.
The biggest difference is our commitment to native innovation. Most systems, including Cliniko, rely on third party apps to provide modern features. At splose, we build those features ourselves. We're constantly evolving and growing with the needs of practitioners, keeping ahead on the curve.
splose is built for the future of Allied Health. We don't believe you should have to pay for five different subscriptions just to get your work done. By choosing splose, you get cutting-edge features like AI-generated progress notes and native voice-to-text built directly into your workflow. Our interface is designed to be beautiful and lightning-fast, reducing the "click fatigue" that often comes with older platforms.
Cliniko is designed for global clinics. splose is designed specifically for Australian allied health, with NDIS bulk upload, service agreement tracking, AI-generated NDIS reports (FCAs, plan reviews, progress reports), travel time claiming, and 2025-26 pricing arrangements built in. If more than 10% of your work is NDIS-funded, splose will save you hours every week that Cliniko can't.
Most clinics are fully live on splose within 14 days of their migration consult. Your dedicated migration manager handles the data import, and can run a training session with your team before go-live so nothing breaks. Zero downtime, your Cliniko subscription runs until we're ready to switch you over.
