Vagaro vs Noterro: Which is a better fit?

Chermaine C.: My name is Chermaine. I'm a small business owner. My business is Kemetic Aesthetics. We have about nine employees. We're in the health and fitness/yoga industry, and I would give it a three. Mind Body previously and Acuity Scheduling. And I chose Vagaro because it was a lot easier for clients to book appointments. So the reasons I chose Vagaro is it is a simpler system compared to other scheduling platforms that clients can book their appointments and is fairly reasonable. So a good value for the price versus Mind Body as they were increasing their rates. Basically all I had to do was download the software. I was able to export a lot of the data from other platforms that we're using, like the client data. And it's very easy to get it integrated with the website and also share it with clients, the link. So it wasn't a difficult process at all to get started. I would definitely say that it is a very easy to use, user-friendly software system that clients like booking appointments with. And also it's like a no frills, very simple. So if you were looking for more features, I would maybe not use Vagaro, but if you wanted something simple and that the clients really enjoy then that was a good value. Vagaro is good for that.

Noel W.: Hi, I'm Noel. I am a registered acupuncturist and yoga instructor. And I give Noterro a five-star rating. And for more reviews like this, click below. So when I started up my private practice, there were a few other software programs available, like the Jane app. I had looked into them, but didn't use them because what I was looking for, ideally was the note-taking piece of the application. So I really wanted something that could be in the SOAP note form, which is Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan. And I didn't find any other apps had what I was looking for. So the reason I chose Noterro was it was one of the first note-taking programs and applications that I could make work with traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture language. So in order to communicate effectively with other healthcare providers like physical therapists or chiropractors, I needed to be able to translate Chinese medicine language into that SOAP note format. And Noterro was amazing at being able to translate that, and helping me to add the tags and add the language that I needed to make effective notes. Noterro was amazingly simple. I signed up, and I think I had a free month initially to try it out. I think I was one of the first acupuncturists to use Noterro, to know Noterro's program when they first launched. The support was incredible. Anytime I had a little problem, I'm not really tech-savvy and I wasn't sure how to use a feature in Noterro, they immediately responded to me via email, and if I needed, by telephone. So I try to get all of my colleagues to sign up for Noterro. I love the manageability of the calendar. My clients love that they can book all of their appointments online. The billing and the integrated billing system that they use with Bambora and Square are seamless. The calendar integration, whether using Google or iCalendar, is fabulous, email responses. So I really try to get my colleagues and encourage them to give Noterro a try. And I have to say that the best thing about it is their customer support. I usually have Nick reach out to me with answering any tech problems I have. And again, they're so quick to get back to me and help me with any problems that I do have. I also love the forms and the form availability. So not only do they offer an initial medical history, but you can tweak it and change it to meet whatever you need and whatever information you need for your clients. During the pandemic, they created a COVID-19 screening form that we were just able to easily use and email out to every client with their appoint reminder. So I encourage everyone who is in the healthcare field, who's looking for a note-taking program and scheduling program, to check out Noterro.
