Finding the right fit, not just a feature list
If you're comparing Jane App and PPS — or simply looking for an honest read on how PPS stacks up against Jane App — you're probably trying to find practice management software that handles appointments, clinical records, client communication and the day-to-day running of your healthcare practice.
PPS approaches practice management with a slightly different philosophy — built around transparency, flexibility and what's included as standard, rather than a long list of optional extras. Choosing the right software isn't just about who has the longer feature list — it's about pricing structure, what's included as standard versus charged as an add-on, and how well a platform fits your team's way of working.
Rather than a simple side-by-side feature list, we've put together honest guidance on the areas worth weighing up when choosing practice management software — including where Jane App's pricing model differs from PPS's. So if you'd like some tips on finding the right fit for your clinic, stick around!
Why clinics choose PPS as a Jane App alternative
Every clinic has different priorities, and there isn't a single "best" practice management system. However, many private healthcare providers choose PPS because of the way it combines powerful functionality, flexible pricing and personalised support.
Flexible pricing that grows with your clinic
When you're comparing Jane App pricing to PPS, the biggest difference isn't the headline number — it's the pricing model itself. PPS is based on concurrent usage, so you only pay for the number of people logged in at the same time, not a fixed licence for every practitioner on your books. Jane App's pricing, by contrast, is structured per practitioner.
See PPS pricing in full →Why concurrent pricing works differently
For clinics with a mix of full-time, part-time and locum practitioners, concurrent usage pricing means you're not paying for a seat that sits empty for most of the week — a common consideration when weighing up Jane App cost against alternatives like PPS.
It's one of the reasons PPS tends to work out particularly well for clinics with flexible or growing teams — cost scales with actual usage, not headcount.
Whatever you're comparing PPS against — Jane App or otherwise — it's worth asking how the pricing model, not just the headline price, will affect your costs as your clinic grows.

With over two decades of experience supporting clinics of all shapes and sizes across multiple disciplines, here's our unbiased guidance on finding the right practice management software for your private healthcare practice.
Outline your requirements
The first step in finding the right practice management software for your clinic is identifying your specific needs. Take some time to consider existing pain points, whether it's appointment scheduling, secure data management, or convoluted billing processes. There's a huge range of clinic software out there to choose from! Having clear requirements helps you filter out the options that don't fit, leaving you with a manageable shortlist.
We offer online demos to help you decide if PPS is the right fit for your clinic's needs.
Opt for user-friendly interfaces
Keep it simple with an easy-to-use interface. It's important to find a software solution that makes life easier for you and your team. There will always be a degree of learning required when it comes to implementing a new clinic management system, but you shouldn't need to invest weeks into getting to grips with it if it is intuitive enough.
The best way to get a good feel for things is to give it a try! We offer free 30-day trials of PPS, giving you unlimited access to all features and functionality.
Customisation is key
No two clinics are the same. From your opening hours to how you manage the patient journey, the service you offer your clients is unique — it's imperative that your clinic management software is flexible enough to accommodate this.
Key customisation features to look out for:
- The ability to add your own branding (logo, etc)
- Customisable client forms (consent, new client registration etc.)
- Your own appointment reminders, booking confirmations and follow-up messages
- A flexible appointment diary reflecting locations, departments, rooms and multiple practitioners
- A customisable automation system that can take on daily tasks

Consider integration and compatibility
Think about the tools and platforms your clinic already uses. Does the software integrate with your existing systems? Seamless integration with payment processors, accounting software, or patient communication tools can save you time and reduce manual work.
PPS integrates with a range of third-party tools and includes many features as standard that other platforms charge extra for. Explore PPS integrations →
Stay within budget — and understand what you're actually paying for
When evaluating how much Jane App costs per month or comparing any practice management software, the headline price is rarely the full picture. Consider what is included as standard, what requires an add-on, and how the cost changes as your team grows.
What's included as standard?
Some platforms charge separately for features like online booking, clinical notes or reporting. PPS includes these within the core subscription.
How does pricing scale?
Per-practitioner pricing can become costly as your team grows. Concurrent usage pricing — like PPS — can be more cost-effective for larger or growing clinics.
Are there hidden costs?
Check for setup fees, data migration costs, training charges and integration fees before committing to any platform.
What does the contract look like?
Flexible monthly plans give you more freedom than long-term contracts. See PPS pricing →
Evaluate support and training
Good software is only as good as the support behind it. When comparing options, find out what onboarding looks like, whether training is included, and how responsive the support team is when things go wrong.
PPS customers receive personalised onboarding, unlimited free online training and access to a UK-based support team throughout their subscription.
Plan for growth
The right software today should still be the right software in three years. Think about how your clinic might grow — more practitioners, more locations, more services — and whether the platform you choose can scale with you without significant cost increases or workflow disruption.
