Pricing
Solo plan. All core features included — no per-practitioner fees, no tier upgrades required for SMS or packages. Add providers without a price spike.
Balance plan is $54 CAD/month — but capped at 20 appointments. Most massage clinics need the Practice ($79/mo) or Thrive ($99/mo) plan to run without limits. Then add $17.50–$40/month per additional practitioner on top of that.
What you'd actually pay

Why massage therapists look elsewhere
Per-practitioner fees add up fast
Jane's base plan looks reasonable — until you hire. Each practitioner added to your plan costs $17.50–$40/month on top of the base fee. For a clinic with three therapists, you could be paying $150–$200/month before you've unlocked everything you need.
Core features locked behind higher tiers
Unlimited bookings, SMS reminders, and packages are not available on Jane's entry plan. You need the Practice or Thrive plan — and then add per-practitioner fees on top — to run a properly equipped massage clinic.
Built for interdisciplinary healthcare, not massage
Jane is designed for clinics with physiotherapists, counsellors, chiropractors, and massage therapists under one roof. If your practice is massage-only, you're paying for a platform designed around workflows and compliance requirements you'll never use.
More complexity than a massage clinic needs
Telehealth, insurance billing, AI scribing, PIPEDA/HIPAA compliance infrastructure — Jane is a serious clinical platform. For a massage therapist, that depth comes with a learning curve and a price tag that doesn't match what you actually need.
Who Jane is actually right for
Jane is a genuinely excellent platform if you're running an interdisciplinary clinic — one with RMTs, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and counsellors all working under the same roof. The clinical depth, documentation tools, insurance billing, and compliance infrastructure are exactly what that kind of practice needs.
For a massage-only clinic, you're paying for clinical infrastructure designed around healthcare regulation and multi-discipline coordination. Hivemanager.io starts at $35/month with no per-seat fees, includes SMS reminders and packages at the base plan, and doesn't ask you to navigate features built for a physio or a counsellor.
