Mendov is one of the closest competitors to us on the essentials: calendar, patient record, invoicing, campaigns and indicators, sold in tiers by number of staff. Their published prices are even close to ours. The decision happens elsewhere — in what each one publishes about add-ons, and in the difference between sending campaigns and having automations that react to what happens in the clinic.
Product against product. Both target outpatient and therapy clinics with general needs.

| Certified invoicing | AppointmintOptional module.

We found no AI. |

“A versatile and complete solution, supported by a very available and committed team.”
Rafael Martinez CláudioCoordinator, Psychologist · COPEA small or mid-sized clinic that wants a simple per-staff offer and values referral management and intervention videos.
Anyone who wants the software to do work on its own — follow the lead, warn that the package is ending, ask for the review, send the survey — and to see the whole bill before signing.
At the small tiers the published prices are close. The difference shows up in what is not in the table: Mendov does not publish an add-on inventory and we do. Ask both for a dated quote for your actual clinic.
A campaign is a message the clinic decides to send to a list. An automation is a rule the clinic writes once — when this happens, and if these conditions hold, do these actions — and which then runs on its own, by WhatsApp, SMS, email, task or survey.
It is: the two do the same job and compete for the same clinics — the differences are in the rows above. 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.
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.
