CompanyOn or Cliniko? Two flat-price platforms, two different days.
Cliniko is loved by allied health clinics in more than 95 countries for its calm interface and every-feature-included pricing by team size. CompanyOn is one price per practitioner, with primary data hosted in Canada and the home visit built in. Here is a fair side-by-side so you can decide.
Cliniko is a trademark of its respective owner and is named for identification only. Comparison verified October 26, 2026.
The short version
Two good tools. Different practices.
Neither platform is better in the abstract. One of these lists will sound like your week.
CompanyOn fits well when
You bill Canadian insurers and want TELUS eClaims inside your practice software.
Care happens in clients' homes, in the community or on the road, and you need routing, mileage estimates and visit check-in and check-out.
You want SMS reminders, the native mobile app and route mapping included rather than metered or missing.
You are a solo practitioner or a small team where per-practitioner pricing works out lower.
You run home care contracts with EVV requirements that CompanyOn supports.
Cliniko fits well when
You run a clinic-based allied health team of two to five practitioners and like one flat monthly price.
You want every feature unlocked from day one, including built-in telehealth, with no tiers.
You value a mature, calm interface, letters and body charts, and a large library of connected apps.
You operate across countries and want data regions in Australia, the UK, Europe or Canada.
You want a 30-day trial, free data migration and a company that has never raised prices since 2011.
Where care happens
Cliniko runs a calm clinic. CompanyOn runs the clinic and the road.
Cliniko was built by an Australian team for allied health clinics and it shows: a clean calendar, treatment notes with body charts, letters, invoicing and telehealth, all in the browser and all included. Practitioners who spend their day in treatment rooms rarely need more.
CompanyOn starts from the visit, wherever it happens. The native app carries the schedule, clients and charting, Google Maps plans the day's route and estimates mileage, visit check-in and check-out feed billing and EVV workflows for supported agencies, and clinic appointments, rooms and locations live in the same record. TELUS eClaims closes the loop with Canadian insurers.
Clinic-based allied health team: both work; Cliniko's flat band pricing suits groups of two to five
Mobile, home or community care: CompanyOn is built for it end to end
Canadian direct billing: CompanyOn integrates TELUS eClaims

Thinking of moving from Cliniko to CompanyOn?
Cliniko exports patients, appointments and invoices cleanly, and our onboarding team helps you import your client list. A typical move is a short checklist rather than a project: import clients, connect Stripe and TELUS eClaims, install the mobile app and run the first week in parallel. Appointment history and past notes may need manual setup.
If after the trial Cliniko still fits your clinic better, that is a good outcome. The goal is a tool that matches how and where you practice.

FAQ
CompanyOn vs Cliniko: common questions
Is CompanyOn cheaper than Cliniko?
It depends on your head count. A solo practitioner pays $39.99 on CompanyOn against $45 on Cliniko. A team of five pays $147.95 on CompanyOn (one plan plus four licenses) against $95 flat on Cliniko. Cliniko also meters SMS at 10 cents a message while CompanyOn includes it. Model your own team on our pricing page and on cliniko.com/pricing.
Does Cliniko work for Canadian clinics?
Yes. Cliniko lets accounts created in Canada store data in Canada and publishes guidance on PIPEDA and PHIPA. What it does not list is a Canadian insurer integration, so direct billing happens outside the platform. CompanyOn hosts primary data on AWS in Canada and integrates TELUS eClaims so claims go out from the same record.
Which one is better for mobile or home-based care?
CompanyOn. Its native app carries the schedule, clients and charting, Google Maps plans the route and estimates mileage, and visit check-in and check-out support EVV workflows for supported agencies. Cliniko runs well in a mobile browser for clinic work but does not list route mapping or visit verification.
Which one is better for telehealth?
Cliniko includes telehealth in every subscription at no extra cost. CompanyOn does not offer built-in video, so if video sessions are a large share of your week, factor that in.
Can I switch from Cliniko to CompanyOn?
Yes. Export your patients, appointments and invoices from Cliniko, and our onboarding team helps you import your client list; appointment history and notes may need manual setup. Book a demo and we will walk through your data first.
