A Phorest alternative with the price on the page

Phorest's pricing page describes its plans as perfect for 3+ staff and asks you to request a quote on all four tiers. Beautay publishes one price, £24.95 a month, and includes the consultation forms and photo comparison that Phorest's plan cards place on higher tiers.

Why practitioners switch

They cannot get a price without a call

Every Phorest tier, Starter, Grow, Ultimate and Elite, carries a Request a quote button rather than a figure, so comparing the cost against anything else means booking a sales call first.

Beautay publishes £24.95 a month on the pricing page, with additional practitioners at £9.95 each, so you can do the sum before anyone speaks to you.

They are one practitioner, not three

Phorest's pricing page says its plans are great for all growing salons and aesthetic clinics, perfect for 3+ staff, and the Starter tier repeats the same guidance.

Beautay is priced and designed for a single practitioner first, and adds seats only when there is actually someone to add.

Consent should not be an upgrade

Phorest's plan cards list pre-sending digital consultation forms before appointments under Grow, the second of four tiers, and its Premium Consultations feature, HD photos, side-by-side comparison and face mapping, under Elite or as a paid add-on.

For an injector those are the working week rather than premium extras, so Beautay includes forms, pre-payment screening, photo timelines and injection plotting at £24.95.

Where Beautay wins

  • One published plan with the aesthetic tools in it

    Digital consent and screening forms, before and after photos, injection plotting, treatment plans, batch tracking, loyalty and marketing are all in the £24.95 plan.

    There is no tier to climb when your record keeping gets more serious, and no add-on list to price up alongside it.

  • Built around one practitioner's day

    Beautay assumes the same person runs the diary, the forms, the payments and the follow-up, often on a phone between appointments.

    Additional practitioners are £9.95 a month each as the clinic grows, so scaling up is additive rather than a move to a different product.

  • Honest about where the line falls

    Phorest includes tailored set-up with your clients, staff, services and products imported for you, free training for life, and a support team on call Monday to Saturday.

    For a salon or clinic group with several chairs and a front desk, that is a strong package.

    Beautay is the better fit when the clinic is one or two practitioners delivering aesthetic treatments and the priority is cost, consent and the treatment record.

Phorest plan contents, tier wording and quote-only pricing taken from the plan cards on phorest.com/gb/pricing on 16 August 2026. Tier rows above reflect where Phorest lists each feature on those cards; the site's detailed feature matrix sits behind collapsed accordions and was not relied on. Phorest also publishes a separate Treatment Plans feature whose tier it does not state. Check both sites before deciding, prices and plans change.
