Why should you choose Power Diary?
REASON #1
Affordable Pricing For Practices of All Sizes
With affordability being such a big factor when choosing the best practice management system for your practice, it’s no surprise that pricing is top of our comparison.
TM3 does not have transparent pricing available on their website and instead, they require you to get a quote. However, our research has shown that TM3 costs substantially more than Power Diary in almost all scenarios. In fact, in many cases, the price is double or triple that of Power Diary – which makes a big impact on operating costs.
REASON #2
Seamless Two-Way Communication Within the App
As well as auto-appointment confirmation, Power Diary has advanced two-way SMS communication functionality. Whilst TM3 allows SMS and email communication via their app, the messages sent are one-way only, with email responses arriving in your inbox rather than remaining within the app. This often causes communication to become disjointed.
Need to remind a client to bring paperwork to their appointment? No problem! Power Diary facilitates secure, two-way communication with clients, keeping everything together in the app for ease. You are also able to use this with colleagues, as well as other healthcare providers, so sending information and client reports has never been simpler.
In addition, you can send bulk emails and SMS messaging, ideal for marketing, sending promotional offers and newsletters, notifying clients of holiday hours, and much more.
REASON #3
Keep On Top of Finances
Both systems offer fully integrated invoicing from within the app, but Power Diary boasts additional functionalities and an integration with Xero which will save you time and help you keep track of your accounts.
Practitioners can be alerted of invoices outstanding on each day, as well as setting custom pop up alerts when a new online booking is made by a client with unsettled invoices. There is also the option to block online appointments for certain clients until invoices are settled.
Additional options with Power Diary include the option to record full or partial payments, combine multiple invoices into one statement, combine invoices for multiple clients for insurance or business invoicing, and more.
REASON #4
Only Power Diary offers a 100% Money-Back Guarantee
Only Power Diary gives you a 100% Money-Back Guarantee. Client satisfaction means everything to us, so we’re prepared to put our money where our mouth is!
