Pabau vs Zenoti: which is better for clinic management and scheduling?
They suit different clinics. Pabau is UK-founded practice software for medical aesthetics, with clinical notes, prescriptions and per-user pricing. Zenoti is enterprise software for multi-site salons, spas and medspas, with quote-based pricing. If you're a smaller UK clinic, compare both with simpler options such as Managed, which starts at £0 + 3%.
Last checked: 18 Oct 2026. Free is £0 + 3%, Starter is £29 + 2%, Growth is £299 + 1%.
