Why med spas look past Pabau
Each point below is taken from Pabau’s own pricing page, accessed 18 October 2026.1
No plan price on the page
Solo, Team, Medium, Group and Enterprise are listed by user count, and every one is quoted on a demo.
Add-ons are priced separately
Marketing Plus, Care Plus, Insights Plus and Engage Plus are sold on top of the plan, with no prices on the pricing page. SMS pricing and the card rate are not published either.
Each location is priced on its own
Pricing applies per location on every plan except Enterprise, which covers multiple sites.
Pabau alternatives, side by side
Sources for every price are at the foot of the page. Workee does not publish a rate card: pricing is quoted per clinic, with no contracts. Each card opens the full side-by-side comparison.

Stay with Pabau if these describe you
These are real reasons to keep Pabau. If two or more describe your practice, it is probably still the right system, and Workee can run alongside it rather than replace it.
You need real clinical depth in an aesthetics shape
EMR and structured clinical notes, prescriptions, lab requests and results, digital consent, and before-and-after photo comparison. This is the toolkit an injectables or dermatology clinic needs to chart defensibly.
You want one system that runs the whole clinic
Scheduling, EMR, forms, payments, inventory and stock, staff rosters, commissions and timesheets all in one product - so stock consumed per treatment and commission per service live with the appointment.
You are small but still need clinical records
Every plan includes the full platform. A one-person clinic is not feature-gated out of clinical records the way tiered competitors do it; you pay for seats, not capability.

Pabau alternatives: common questions
- What is the best Pabau alternative for a med spa?
It depends on why you are looking. If the calendar is the problem, Workee adds booking on your own website and automated follow-up and can run next to Pabau. If you want a published per-user price for charting, Aesthetic Record publishes one. If you want unlimited users on one published plan, AestheticsPro sells that from $285 a month. If one system for the whole clinic matters most, Pabau is still a strong fit. - Does Pabau have a contract?The pricing page says “No commitment”. Pabau’s Terms of Use set monthly plans as a 30-day rolling contract with 30 days’ notice, and offer prepaid 12, 24 or 36-month terms that renew automatically unless cancelled in writing 30 days before they end. Cancellation must be in writing or through Pabau’s form; verbal requests are not accepted.
- Does Pabau charge setup or migration fees?Its Terms say setup, training and data migration fees are non-refundable and that developer and import work is charged at roughly £100 to £150 an hour. No flat setup fee is published.
- How do I reach Pabau support?Pabau’s Support Center lists chat, phone and WhatsApp support 24 hours a day, with a US number, +1 (507) 704-4700.
- Can I keep Pabau and use Workee as well?Yes. Workee takes bookings on your own website and passes them to the calendar you already run, and Jenny follows up with clients by text and email, so Pabau keeps handling the rest. If you later move fully, Workee has its own calendar, payments and client records, and imports your client list from a spreadsheet.
- How do I export my data from Pabau?Our guide at workee.ai/migrate/from-pabau covers it step by step. Reports export as XLS or CSV yourself; a full export run by Pabau costs £450 plus VAT, or is free if you cancel with at least 30 days’ written notice.
- Is Workee cheaper than Pabau?We cannot say from a web page. Neither Workee nor Pabau publishes a plan price: Workee quotes per clinic with no contracts. Get both quotes for the team size and locations you run and compare those.

and a clear answer.
