Theraflow vs Practo: why clinic software doesn't fit therapy
Practo is designed around 15-minute consultations, prescriptions and per-visit billing. Therapy centres run 45-60 minute sessions, multi-session packages, IEP goals, therapist handovers and continuous parent updates.
Theraflow is built for those workflows by people who have run therapy centres in India. It starts at ₹2,999/month with no per-patient fees, less than most Practo plans.
