An acupuncture practice may coordinate multiple practitioners, treatment rooms, equipment, repeat visits and different payment arrangements. Compare software by following a patient from booking and intake through charting, checkout and return booking. Confirm that your own clinical forms and privacy workflow fit before moving patient records.

The cost case · Acupuncture & TCM

What the software costs—and where your margin can improve.

Start with the bill and one costly workflow. The comparison is straightforward: recurring software costs you can actually remove, minus the hosting, AI, integrations and upkeep a replacement needs. Time saved is a separate gain, and only becomes margin when the business can use it.

Current software · researched prices

Acupuncture & TCM software runs $20 to $99 a month across the 2 vendors that publish prices. A website-related price point in the research is $59 a month; check whether it is a plan rate or a separate fee. 5 of 7 vendors have quote-only pricing in our research.

Published starting prices are not a like-for-like quote. Confirm the plans, seats, add-ons, payment fees and setup your workflow requires.

A focused tool · under your control

Pay for the parts this workflow needs.

One time: map the rules, build, test edge cases, move only the data needed and train the people who use it.

Each month: affordable hosting, coding-AI usage, any database or integrations, backups and maintenance. Price these for the actual application; a $0 or low hosting tier is not the total cost.

You control: the code repository, domain, data and service accounts. Someone on your side owns updates, access, recovery and support.

MarginVendor costs removed − the replacement’s full monthly operating cost.
Admin timeFirst target: Clinical chart fit. Use a fictional new-patient intake and follow-up note. Check required fields, signatures, access permissions, amendment history and export.
Business valueDurable, documented margin can strengthen a business; buyers still assess risk and whether someone else can run the workflow.

The exact replacement cost depends on scope and usage. Bring your invoice and one frustrating task; we’ll map what can stay, what could be owned and the costs to verify.

What a safe switch means for acupuncture & tcm

Scope administrative scheduling and intake first. Clinical records require a separate security, regulatory and operational assessment before they can be included.

Questions to ask and a concrete way to test the answer
What mattersAsk thisThen demonstrate this
Clinical chart fitCan you adapt notes and intake to your clinic’s actual documentation workflow?Use a fictional new-patient intake and follow-up note. Check required fields, signatures, access permissions, amendment history and export.
Room and equipment availabilityCan schedules prevent two appointments from using the same treatment room or limited equipment?Book two practitioners against one room and one shared resource. Confirm the conflict appears before confirming both visits.
Repeat visit flowCan a practitioner rebook an appropriate follow-up without front-desk re-entry?Complete a visit and book the next appointment with the right practitioner, duration and room while honoring availability.
Payment and reconciliationCan checkout handle your mix of cash, card, package or insurer payment and reconcile clearly?Run a single visit and a package redemption; compare receipt, balance, provider totals and accounting export.

Your demo script

Model a clinic day with shared rooms and returning patients

This synthetic day checks scheduling, clinical record continuity and billing handoffs; it is not clinical advice or a test result for any named product.

  1. Create a fictional new patient, send the intake and consent forms, and book a first visit with a specific practitioner and room.
  2. Record a sample note using your clinic’s own template; check that another role sees only the information it should.
  3. Book a return visit and a second patient into the same room window. Confirm the system prevents an unavailable resource from being double-booked.
  4. Collect payment using the clinic’s usual method, record a package redemption for another visit and reconcile both against the daily totals.

Plan a controlled data move

Inventory patient identity fields, chart notes, intake and consent forms, appointment history, future bookings, provider and room schedules, balances, packages, insurer details and attachments. Obtain a complete sample export from the incumbent system and verify that clinical notes, dates, authorship and attachments remain readable before cutover.

Where a first build could stop

Practice software supports administration and documentation; it does not make clinical decisions or replace professional standards. Confirm privacy, retention, consent, access and export requirements for the jurisdictions and care model in which the clinic operates.

What does the software cost?

Acupuncture & TCM software runs $20 to $99 a month across the 2 vendors that publish prices. A website-related price point in the research is $59 a month; check whether it is a plan rate or a separate fee. 5 of 7 vendors have quote-only pricing in our research.

Where the money goes

The practice plan is the core line: Jane's tiers step up by features, with extra practitioners priced in an on-page calculator. The website, insurance billing and payroll are each separate add-ons that stack on top. Booking-only tools price by calendar instead: Acuity is $20, $34 or $61 a month.

What to keep

Keep Jane for charting, scheduling and insurance billing. That's clinical software, and a website doesn't replace it.

What to verify

Ask providers to demonstrate this workflow using your edge cases. Check which plan includes each step, what costs extra and how your records can be exported.

Questions owners ask

What should an acupuncturist test in a software demo?

Bring a fictional first visit, your own note template, a room conflict, a return booking and your actual payment workflow. Check the export before committing patient records.

Can scheduling software replace an acupuncture chart?

Usually a booking calendar alone does not establish fit for clinical notes, intake, consent, role permissions or record retention. Test these explicitly or define the separate system responsible for them.

How much does Jane App cost for an acupuncture clinic?

Jane has three plans, Balance, Practice and Thrive, with Balance capped at 20 appointments a month. It publishes prices in Canadian dollars, and additional practitioners are priced in a calculator on Jane's site.

Does Jane App include a website?

No. Jane Websites is a separate monthly add-on, priced per clinic.

How much does an acupuncture clinic website cost?

Jane Websites is a monthly add-on priced in Canadian dollars. Other clinic website vendors, including ProSites, Officite and Tebra, don't publish prices, so you need a sales call to find out.
