Pabau prices by team size across five user bands, publishes no figures, and puts Book a demo on every plan. Beautay publishes £24.95 a month, starts the same day without a call, and leaves out the prescribing, labs and diagnostic coding a solo aesthetic practitioner never opens.

Answers to the questions people actually ask
Which aesthetic clinic software has built-in consent forms?
Most systems claim consent. The differences that matter are whether the form is attached to the service, whether it reaches the client before they arrive, and whether you could produce it two years later.
Read the comparisonWhich aesthetic clinic software has built-in payments?
Nearly all of them. The question worth asking is what the payments cost you, because in this category the subscription is frequently the smaller number.

How we compare
Comparative advertising in the UK has to be verifiable, which we think is a good rule rather than an inconvenience. Every claim about a competitor on these pages carries a named source and the date it was checked. Pricing is taken from published price lists where a competitor publishes one, and the page says so plainly where one does not.
Beautay is built for clinics doing injectables, skin and laser work, where consent, batch tracking and client records actually matter, from a single treatment room to a multi-site team. If you run a hair and beauty salon with no record-keeping obligations, a general salon system covers that ground and we would not pretend otherwise.
