Where Wellspring pulls ahead

Fairly, and without the small print.

One price, everything included

No feature paywalls and no per-practitioner surprises. Every plan — and your 30-day free trial — includes the lot. You only pay for the practitioners and locations you actually use.

Built for group programmes

Classes, courses, categories, an attendance register, a page for every course and a booking button you can drop onto any website. Most tools bolt group bookings on; we designed for them.

Grow-your-practice tools in the box

Reminders that cut no-shows, gift cards, memberships, promo codes, and a Meta Pixel with one-click ‘boost this course’ ad copy — no extra subscriptions.

Local where it counts

Tax-aware invoicing (VAT or GST), per-venue bank accounts, Xero, and a tree planted with the Woodland Trust for every subscription — ready for the UK, Australia, US, NZ, Canada and Ireland.

If you bill US insurance, SimplePractice is hard to beat. Love deep charting and telehealth? Jane and Cliniko are superb. Running a salon or spa? Fresha fits. But if you run a therapy or wellness practice and want everything — appointments, classes, online booking, payments, marketing and gift cards — in one simple price, that’s exactly what we built Wellspring for.
