01
The fees add up
Marketplace platforms often charge a commission on bookings, a monthly fee, or both. They are rarely cheap, and the cost can grow in step with how well your clinic is doing. The better your month, the bigger the bill.
A clean slate for your diary
The #1 custom booking system for your clinic.
Built around how your clinic works, live on your own website, and set up in 48 hours.
- Works with the diary and software you already use
- No marketplace fees and no commission on your bookings
- Your clients stay your clients
The problem
Marketplace booking apps hold all the cards.
They can be a reasonable place to start. The trouble tends to arrive later, once your clinic is busy and the terms are no longer yours to set.
02
The booking happens on their site
Your patient books on a platform that also lists other clinics. Many of these arrangements mean the relationship, the contact details and the data sit with the platform rather than with you, and you are paying to reach people who were already yours.
03
The alternative has been clunky
Custom and integrated systems have a reputation for looking dated, taking months to build, and costing a great deal to keep running. That reputation is fair, and it is the gap Slate was made to close.
A booking marketplace
What it often looks like
- Often billed per team member, so hiring can push the bill up
- May take a commission out of the treatment price
- Your listing can sit in a directory beside other clinics
- The booking page usually carries their branding, not yours
- The client record and the rebooking can stay on their platform
Slate
What you get instead
- One price for the clinic. Add practitioners without the bill moving
- No commission. The full treatment price is yours
- No directory. Nobody is advertised alongside you
- Your branding, your domain. Patients never leave your site
- Your client list. Exportable whenever you want it

Step 1 of 4
The clinic name, the practitioners, the treatments, the prices and the times here are invented examples, written to show you the flow. This is not a real diary, no appointment is made, and nothing you type or click is collected, stored or sent anywhere.
Who it is for
Built for your kind of clinic.
Appointment lengths, the words you use for your treatments and the way you take bookings are different in every clinic. Slate is set up around yours rather than a template.

Not listed? That is fine. If your clinic runs on appointments, it will work. Ask us on a short call.
How it works
Three steps, and two of them are ours.
From the first call to going live is usually about 48 hours. Here is what actually happens in that time.
1
We set it up around you
We start with how your clinic already runs, rather than asking you to fit a template.
- Your services and appointment lengths
- Your opening hours and breaks
- Your cancellation terms
2
Patients book on your website
The booking journey sits on your own site, in your own branding, on your own domain.
- No redirect to somewhere else
- No directory of rival clinics
- Works on a phone, which is where most book
3
Your diary stays up to date
Bookings appear where you already look, so you keep one diary rather than checking two.
- Times you are not available stay blocked
- Cancellations reopen the slot
- Nobody gets double booked
What you get
Everything a clinic needs, and nothing it does not.
Fits your current setup
It works with the diary and software you already use, so nobody has to learn a new system or move their records anywhere.
Your branding, your website
Your colours, your words, your domain. To a patient it simply looks like part of your clinic, because it is.
Confirmations and reminders
Patients get a confirmation when they book and a reminder before they are due, sent in your clinic's name rather than somebody else's.
Cancellation policy built in
Your notice period and your terms are shown at the point of booking, so expectations are set before anyone turns up.
No marketplace fees
No commission on your bookings and no cut of your treatment price. What a patient pays you is what you keep.
Your clients stay your clients
Your patient list and their details belong to you. You can export them whenever you like, and nobody else is marketing to them.
Case study placeholder
A short before and after from a real clinic will sit here once we have written permission to use it.
Work it out
What does commission actually cost you?
Put your own numbers in. If the platform you use takes a percentage, this is roughly what that percentage is worth over a year.
On those numbers
Taken in commission each month
£660
Taken in commission over a year
£7,920
Set the rate your own platform charges. We are not quoting anyone else's pricing here, and these figures are only as good as the numbers you put in.
Pricing
One flat monthly price, whatever size your clinic is.
No commission, no charge per booking and no percentage of your treatment price. £29 a month on your own, £39 if you are staying on the system you already use, £49 if you need the dashboard too.
From £29 a month, no commission
- Set up around your services and your hours
- Live on your own website in your branding
- Confirmations, reminders and your cancellation policy
- Ongoing support and changes when you need them
- Add practitioners without the bill moving

The things clinics ask us first.
How long does set-up take?
Usually about 48 hours from the point we have what we need from you, which is your services, your appointment lengths and your opening hours. If your setup turns out to be more involved, we will tell you that up front rather than discovering it halfway through.
Who owns the data?
You do. Your patient details, their appointment history and your diary belong to your clinic. You can export them whenever you want, and we do not market to your patients or pass their details to anyone else.
Will it work with the diary or software I already use?
In most cases yes, and we will confirm it properly on a short call before you commit to anything. If it turns out we cannot make it work with what you have, we will tell you honestly rather than sell you something that will not fit.
What happens with cancellations?
Your cancellation policy and notice period are built into the booking, so a patient sees your terms before they confirm. If someone cancels within your notice period the slot reopens, so it can be filled rather than sitting empty.
What support do I get?
You can reach a real person. Changes to your services, prices or hours are part of the monthly fee rather than billed as extras, and we will make them for you if you would rather not.
