Where splose takes the cake
Unlimited AI vs per-hour transcription
Zanda's AI is $1 per transcription hour. That works out fine for occasional use; for clinicians doing 20+ sessions per week, it scales. splose AI is $27/month (annual) for unlimited transcription, summaries, note generation, calendar automation and document analysis.
Mobile visit scheduling
splose supports both clinic and mobile-visit practitioners in the same calendar, useful for OTs, physios doing home visits, and NDIS-funded mobile clinicians. splose can also calculate and add travel time when you invoice. Zanda has no mobile-visit scheduling or travel tracking abilities.
Embeddable forms feeding the waitlist
Embed an intake form on your website. New referrals auto-populate into your splose waitlist for triaging. Reduces admin friction at the front of the funnel. Capture every lead the moment they’re ready, ensuring a seamless first impression for new patients.
Modern interface and onboarding
splose is designed for fast onboarding, drag-and-drop scheduling, simple settings, and AI assistance built in from day one.
Telehealth without per-minute fees
Zanda's free Telehealth Lite caps at 100 minutes/month before per-minute charges kick in. For unlimited, you upgrade at $9/practitioner/month. splose includes Zoom/Meet/Teams integrations without per-minute charges.
Invoicing in bulk
splose offers batch invoicing so that you can save hours on invoicing every week. Invoice all unbilled items at once with custom filtering and get your time back.
