The short version

Choose Consentz if its consent heritage and clinic directory matter to how you work, and you're comfortable with a sales-led evaluation. It's an established aesthetics-focused platform with real history in the sector.

Choose Appointbox if your priority is the day-to-day running of the clinic — a fuller diary, deposit-backed booking, fewer no-shows, less admin — with pricing you can see before anyone calls you, and software you can be using this afternoon.

The real difference: where the product starts

Consentz grew outward from consent — the clue is the name. Appointbox grew outward from the diary: the belief that the first job of clinic software is a fuller, better-defended appointment book, with consent and records done properly because the day runs through them. Both philosophies produce aesthetics software; they feel different to live in.

The second difference is commercial. Appointbox's pricing is on the page — flat tiers, every feature included — and the product is self-serve from the first minute: booking, deposits, consent and records working before anyone books a call with you.

Switching questions

Can I move from Consentz to Appointbox?

Yes — migration is free and done for you: patients, history and the diary come across with no gap. The 30-day trial means you can evaluate the switch with the exit door open — cancel and export your data anytime.

Which is cheaper?

Appointbox's prices are public — £39 (Solo, one practitioner), £99 flat up to five (Clinic), £199/month per location for up to 15 practitioners (Group), with custom pricing for larger groups (Enterprise); every feature included. Consentz prices by quote, so the comparison depends on the quote you receive; ask them and compare like-for-like.

Both are aesthetics-focused — what's the practical difference day to day?

Appointbox is organised around the diary: the Today view, deposit-backed online booking and a waitlist that refills cancellations in order — with consent and records attached to that flow. If your bottleneck is filling and defending the appointment book, that emphasis is the difference you'll feel.
