Appointmint vs FisioZero

FisioZero is cloud clinical software dedicated to physiotherapy and osteopathy, with modules reaching acupuncture, psychology and podiatry. The core is calendar, patients, episodes, assessments, SMS, statistics and payment tracking. It is the competitor on this list with the least public information: it publishes no prices, and we found no certified invoicing, online payments or integrations.

Partial overlap: FisioZero is narrower and more specialised. The comparison comes down to your clinic's actual workflow, not to counting features.

Calendar and online bookingAppointmintRooms and resources, group classes, waiting lists, recurring appointments, practitioner and branch absences, and online booking.FisioZeroAppointments with weekly and monthly views. We found no client-facing online booking.
Client record and clinical notesAppointmintA configurable record and clinical reports the clinic shapes to its specialty: 56 ready-made templates across 16 areas — physiotherapy, dentistry, psychology, nutrition, osteopathy, podiatry and more —, with body charts, dental charts, photos you can draw on, tables and signatures, and templates built with AI from the document you already use. Forms, surveys, consents and a client portal. Reads the Portuguese Citizen Card to fill in the record.FisioZeroPatient records, episodes, assessments, history, exams and attached documents, with modules by specialty.
Certified invoicingAppointmintOptional module. Appointmint issues invoices, receipts and credit notes certified by the Portuguese tax authority, through Cegid Vendus no. 2230/AT, with real-time or SAF-T reporting. Insurer and health-scheme coverage is recorded per service on the client record and deducted automatically from what is invoiced; public health service and scheme code tables are imported from the catalogue, with the codes on the invoice.FisioZeroWe found no certified invoicing or SAF-T.
Client communicationAppointmintWhatsApp on the clinic's own number: we are a Meta-approved Tech Provider, and the clinic connects its number from inside Appointmint, one per branch. Fifteen ready-made message templates, from the reminder to the payment request, submitted to Meta automatically when the number is connected, plus whichever the clinic writes, with quick-reply buttons. The client confirms with a button and the reply reaches the calendar. Also SMS and email, with its own wording per client language.FisioZeroSMS for consultations, treatments and birthdays. We found no WhatsApp.
Automations and pipelinesAppointmintAn automation engine the clinic writes itself: six events — a booking made, after the appointment, a pack running out, a birthday, a stage change and a cancelled appointment —, the conditions the clinic sets (service, first or nth appointment, client tags, days stalled in a stage, send time), and seven actions: WhatsApp, SMS, email, a task for the team, a survey, a Google review request and moving the client to another stage. Twelve automations ready to switch on. Pipelines built on the clinic's own tags, with won and lost stages, an alert for whoever is stalled, and time per stage.FisioZeroWe found no event-driven automations, client pipelines or AI.
Electronic prescribing (PEM)AppointmintIntegration with the Portuguese health service's PEM platform built, with the health service's approval under way: prescription, medicine search and prescriber signing by Chave Móvel Digital, Citizen Card or username and password, switched on per eligible clinic. We hold no clinical certification of our own.FisioZeroWe found no electronic prescribing, PEM or diagnostic test requests.
Mobile appsAppointmintTwo Android apps published on Google Play: admin and client portal. The iPhone version is coming soon; until then the iPhone opens the web version, which is complete.FisioZeroWorks on computer, tablet and phone through the browser. We found no app in the stores.
Public pricing and trialAppointmintPlans and add-ons published on the site. Thirty days without a card, and free data migration.FisioZeroPublishes no price. 15-day trial, on request.

Where FisioZero is stronger than us

  • Focus. It does one thing — physiotherapy and osteopathy — and the product speaks the language of the field, which usually means less clutter on screen.
  • Organisation by episodes, with history shared across several therapists. The physiotherapy assessment with a body chart, progress notes and the exercise plan we have ready-made too; if you work by episodes, test that workflow in both.
  • We found no other clear advantage, and we would rather say so than invent one: the product publishes little, and we do not fill gaps by guessing.

Where Appointmint is stronger

  • Filling the calendar: online booking by the client themselves, waiting lists, group classes with places and recurring appointments. Online booking by the client is something we did not find on their side.
  • Automations and pipelines. They publish SMS for consultations, treatments and birthdays; we give you the engine — six events that fire on their own — a booking made, after the appointment, a pack running out, a birthday, a stage change, a cancelled appointment —, the conditions the clinic sets, and seven actions — and client pipelines built on your own tags, with an alert for whoever is stalled and rules firing on a stage change.
  • WhatsApp on the clinic's own number, as a Meta-approved Tech Provider, with fifteen templates submitted to Meta automatically and the client's confirmation coming back to the calendar. On their side we found no WhatsApp.
  • Clinical reports that adapt to each specialty — with body charts, dental charts and drawing on photos —, forms, surveys and consents, with Scriber listening to the appointment and writing the draft.
  • Invoicing and payments. We invoice through software certified by the tax authority, with payment links, direct debits, packs and memberships. On their side we found none of this published.
  • You know what you will pay. FisioZero publishes no price; we publish plans, limits and add-ons, with thirty days without a card against fifteen.

“Appointmint has made our daily operations much easier, especially in organizing appointments and reducing missed sessions. Since switching, the process has become much simpler and we've saved considerable time on management.”

When FisioZero is the right choice

A physiotherapy or osteopathy clinic that wants a narrow tool built around episodes, attendance and several therapists, and does not need invoicing, online payments or automation inside the same program.

When we are the right choice

A physiotherapy clinic that also has to invoice, collect payment, sell packages, fill the calendar and answer WhatsApp — which is to say almost all of them, past a certain size.

Frequently asked questions

How much does FisioZero cost?+

It is not public. The site offers a demo and a 15-day trial on request. Ask for a dated quote including users, SMS, storage and migration, so you can compare it with our table.

Does Appointmint suit a small physiotherapy clinic?+

It does, and it is one of our main segments. The smallest plan is for one person and grows with the clinic: packages with an automatic balance, no-shows that stop costing money and messages that start going out on their own make a difference from the first month.

Is Appointmint an alternative to FisioZero?+

In the part where the two overlap, yes. The rows above say where the scope is different. If you do switch, data migration is free and we do it, not you: tell us what has to come across — clients, appointments, history, packages, invoicing — and before we start we will tell you what we can bring and what we cannot.

A note on method

This analysis was carried out by an artificial intelligence agent, under explicit instructions to be impartial, to cite only public sources, and to record what it could not confirm rather than filling it in with something plausible. It was then reviewed by us, and whatever is said here about Appointmint has to hold up in the product.

The research closed on 12 September 2026. Products change and so do prices — always confirm with the vendor before deciding.
