Why therapists switch from Cliniko

Built for clinical massage practice

MassageHub is the alternative for UK massage therapists who keep clinical notes — the part general booking and beauty tools leave out.

  • SOAP notes and clinical intake forms on the free plan — not an add-on.
  • Your insurer and professional body typically expect client records to be kept for several years; MassageHub keeps them in one place, exportable any time.
  • Every note and intake response is encrypted at rest — readable only by you.

Common questions

Does Cliniko have a free plan?

Does MassageHub have clinical notes like Cliniko?

Yes. Like Cliniko, MassageHub includes SOAP notes and clinical intake forms — and they are on the free plan, encrypted at rest. The difference is focus and price: MassageHub is UK-built for massage specifically, not broad allied health.

Is MassageHub a good Cliniko alternative for UK massage therapists?

Yes. It is UK-built with GBP pricing and a permanent free tier, focused on massage rather than broad allied health, and adds smart travel-time routing for mobile therapists. It keeps SOAP notes and intake encrypted at rest — the records your insurer typically expects you to hold for several years.
