Clinicraft vs GlowdayPRO: which is better for aesthetic clinics?

GlowdayPRO starts cheap for a brand-new solo practitioner, but its price rises with your patient list and team size, and its consumer marketplace charges commission on new clients. Clinicraft is one flat fee, whatever your patient count, with no marketplace commission at all.

A price that grows with your patient list

GlowdayPRO’s Starter tier is £10+VAT/month for up to 10 patients — genuinely cheaper than Clinicraft for a practitioner just starting out. But it’s tiered by patient count: 11-100 patients moves you to £24+VAT, and unlimited patients is £39+VAT, per practitioner, before adding a second person at £15+VAT/month each. Clinicraft is £29.99/month flat for the whole business, whatever your patient count, plus £4.99/month per additional staff member — up to 300 bookings a month, more than enough for most solo and small-team clinics.

A marketplace, with commission attached

To be fair to GlowdayPRO — its consumer-facing Glowday marketplace can genuinely bring you new patients, plus automated review collection Clinicraft doesn’t offer. What it costs: 30%+VAT commission on a new client’s first booking made through the marketplace (returning patients and direct bookings are 0%). Clinicraft has no marketplace and no commission on anything, from anyone, ever.

Checked against GlowdayPRO’s own site and clinic terms, not assumed. Pricing and commission terms change regularly, so those are worth confirming directly with Glowday.

FAQs

Is Clinicraft cheaper than GlowdayPRO?

It depends on your patient count and team size. A brand-new solo practitioner with under 10 patients pays £10+VAT/month on GlowdayPRO's Starter tier — cheaper than Clinicraft's £29.99. But GlowdayPRO's price rises with your patient list (£24+VAT for 11-100 patients, £39+VAT for unlimited) and each additional practitioner is £15+VAT/month, against Clinicraft's flat £29.99 and £4.99 per seat. If you also bring in new clients through Glowday's marketplace, a 30%+VAT commission applies on top for each one's first booking.

Does GlowdayPRO have a patient marketplace like Fresha?

Yes — Glowday runs a genuine consumer-facing marketplace where patients discover and book practitioners, alongside your own branded diary. It's commission-based: 30%+VAT on a new client's first booking made through Glowday, but 0% on returning patients or anyone booking directly. Clinicraft has no marketplace and no commission of any kind — patients only ever book through your own page.

Does GlowdayPRO have a complications workflow?

We couldn't find a dedicated complications-tracking feature on GlowdayPRO's marketing site. Clinicraft tracks any reported concern through a New → Acknowledged → Resolved workflow, with an immediate email alert to your practice's owners and admins.

Can I switch from GlowdayPRO to Clinicraft without losing my data?

Yes — send an export of your existing patient and booking data and we'll import it into Clinicraft for you, free of charge.

Does Clinicraft charge commission on new clients?

No — Clinicraft's only charge is the flat monthly subscription. There's no marketplace and no commission on any booking, new client or returning.
