Two UK Platforms, Different Starting Points
Consentz and Aestheticc are both UK-built clinic management platforms targeting aesthetic practitioners. But they arrived here from different directions.
Consentz started as a consent form tool and expanded outward into booking, payments, CRM, marketing, and practice management. Their consent workflow integration is mature, and they've been in the UK aesthetics market for several years.
Aestheticc was built from day one as a full clinic management platform by a doctor who ran aesthetic clinics. The approach is different: every feature was designed around aesthetic clinic workflows from the start, rather than being added around an existing consent system.
Both platforms now cover similar ground. The question is which one fits your clinic better.
Feature Comparison
| Feature | Aestheticc | Consentz | |---------|-----------|----------| | Digital consent forms | Yes | Yes (their original product) | | E-signatures | Yes | Yes | | Photo consent capture | Yes | Yes | | Online booking | Yes | Yes (24/7, auto-triggers consent) | | Payment processing | Yes (Stripe, Klarna) | Yes (built-in) | | Client records and CRM | Yes | Yes | | Treatment notes | Yes | Yes | | Before/after photos | Yes (managed, with comparison tools) | Limited | | SMS and email reminders | Yes | Yes | | Marketing automation | Yes | Yes (campaigns, rebooking, reviews) | | Stock management | Planned | Yes | | Staff management | Yes | Yes | | Reporting and analytics | Yes | Yes | | Treatment intelligence (AI) | Yes | No | | Klarna / buy-now-pay-later | Yes (native integration) | Not confirmed | | Mobile app | Yes | Yes |
Where Consentz is Strong
Consent workflow integration. Consentz was built around consent forms, and it shows. Their system auto-triggers consent forms when clients book online, so patients arrive having already read and signed everything. If your biggest pain point is chasing consent paperwork, Consentz has years of refinement here.
UK market experience. Consentz has been serving UK aesthetic clinics for longer than most competitors. They understand the market, the regulations, and the workflow patterns of UK practitioners.
Stock management. Consentz includes stock tracking and management. Aestheticc does not currently offer this (it is on the roadmap).
Where Aestheticc Differentiates
Pricing transparency. Aestheticc starts at £39/month with every feature included. No tiers, no per-feature upsells. Consentz does not publish pricing publicly, which makes direct comparison difficult, but reports from clinic owners suggest it runs higher.
Treatment intelligence. Aestheticc uses AI to analyse treatment patterns, predict rebooking windows, and surface client insights. This is not a feature Consentz offers.
Klarna integration. Native buy-now-pay-later through Klarna, built into the payment flow. Useful for higher-value treatments where clients want to split costs.
Before/after photo management. Dedicated photo tools with side-by-side comparison views, organised by treatment and date. Not just photo storage but a proper clinical photo workflow.
Built by a practitioner. Aestheticc was designed by a doctor who ran aesthetic clinics. The workflows reflect how practitioners actually work rather than how software engineers think they work.
Pricing
| | Aestheticc | Consentz | |--|-----------|----------| | Starting price | £39/month | Not publicly listed | | Pricing model | Flat rate, all features included | Requires demo for quote | | Reported range | £39-69/month | £49-79/month (unconfirmed) | | Free trial | Yes | Demo-based |
We are being honest here: we cannot confirm Consentz pricing because they do not publish it. The figures above are based on what clinic owners have reported. Your quote may differ based on location count, feature requirements, and negotiation.
Aestheticc's pricing is public and fixed. £39/month for a solo practitioner, £69/month for teams. Every feature included at every tier.
When Consentz Makes Sense
- Consent workflow is your top priority and you want the most mature consent system on the market
- You are already using Consentz and it is working well for your clinic
- You need stock management built into your clinic software today
- You value an established platform with a longer track record in the UK market
When Aestheticc Makes Sense
- You want transparent, lower pricing with no tiers or hidden costs
- Treatment intelligence and AI-driven insights matter to your practice
- You need Klarna or buy-now-pay-later built into your payment flow
- Before/after photo management is a core part of your workflow
- You prefer software designed from the ground up for aesthetic clinic operations
The Honest Take
Consentz is a real competitor. It is not a single-purpose consent tool. It is a full clinic management platform with years of UK market experience, and dismissing it would be dishonest.
The case for Aestheticc comes down to three things: transparent pricing at £39/month, treatment intelligence that no other platform offers, and purpose-built aesthetic workflows designed by someone who has actually run a clinic.
If you are choosing between the two, book demos with both. Ask about pricing, ask about the specific features your clinic needs, and pick the one that fits.
