Phorest vs Pabau
This page will unpick some of the key differences between Phorest and Pabau so that you can decide which is the best fit for your business.
The best thing for me with Pabau is that all of these separate functionalities are integrated into one system. Having all of that integrated into a chronological system takes away so much of the brain power from the clinician.
The best software understands you, your business, and your challenges. Pabau has been built to meet the needs of medical-based businesses - not hair or beauty salons. That’s why it has features created specifically for this sector, such as automated pre-care and aftercare emails, electronic medical records (EMR), allergy/contraindication warnings, before-and-after photos, injection plotting, customizable forms, and so on. At Pabau, we get you.
Phorest limits you to assigning only one staff member per treatment, which can be frustrating for businesses that offer procedures requiring multiple practitioners. With Pabau, you have full flexibility — easily assign two or more staff members to a single treatment, ensuring seamless coordination and the best patient experience.
Phorest offers great integrations for salons, but when it comes to medi-aesthetic and healthcare needs, it falls short. Its reliance on ANS for medical features means businesses must manage two separate systems instead of one seamless solution. With Pabau, you get direct integrations tailored to the medical industry — whether it’s prescription software, call agent tools for lead management, or third-party insurance providers. Plus, you’ll still have access to essentials like Xero, MailChimp, and Stripe, all within a single, fully integrated platform.
When you get a five-star review, you want to add it to your website as soon as possible, right? At Pabau, we make that process as easy as possible. Whereas other platforms like Phorest require you to publish reviews manually, in Pabau, you can do it automatically. The result is that your latest and greatest reviews are always on show on your site, so you can build your social proof and win more customers from the competition.
With Pabau, you don’t have to break a sweat trying to remember everything. You can simply use our app to ensure you have up-to-date health records, signed medical consents, and photos. Not every provider has this functionality, but we know how important it is that you get this right every single time to stay compliant. Not only does it protect the client, it also protects your business.
“After 16 years of using about 20 different client management software systems, this is the only one I can honestly say does it all, and does it all very well.”
Roxanne Merchant,
Head of Operations, Juvea Medical
“Pabau is feature-rich, allowing us functionality to grow as our business needs grow, and at the same time quite intuitive to use. Competing software offerings can’t compete!”
Daniel, Doctor,
G2 review
“I’ve been in business for almost nine years. I’ve tried a lot of different software, but I was always missing some features. This software has everything that saves my time, keeps my records and medical forms in one place, and is easy to use.”
