Which clinic software gets commission right when you change someone's rate in October?
Short answer: Appointbox tracks commission per practitioner with effective dating, so a rate change doesn't rewrite the past, and recommends staff cover based on demand. None of the six rivals reviewed publish either.
| System | Per-person availability | Commission plans | Cover recommendations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appointbox | Yes, with overrides | Effective-dated, per practitioner | Yes |
| Pabau, Consentz, MERIDIQ, ANS, Faces | Basic scheduling named | Not published | Not published |
