The reasons that actually matter.
Before we opened to the public, nuemed ran a full year of real clinic work. Built out of necessity, proven in the wild.
Switching from Pabau, answered.
In the UK, both nuemed and Pabau start at £50 per month. nuemed’s Solo plan includes one practitioner seat and unlimited patient records. Pabau’s Starter plan includes one user and is limited to 100 clients; exceeding that limit requires moving to its Solo tier. Other Pabau plan and optional add-on prices depend on the clinic.
It depends on the export Pabau makes available. If you can provide usable CSV data and the related image or document files, we can assess and handle the move with you.
