Pricing
Pick the one that matches how your clinic already runs. Every plan is a flat monthly fee: no cut of your treatment price, no charge per booking, and no bill that grows just because you had a good month.
The plans
Most clinics are already paying for a practice management system they get on with. If that is you, Slate plugs into it rather than replacing it, and costs less.
One practitioner, one diary, and you are the whole business.
£29 a month
One practitioner
You already run on Cliniko and you are keeping it. Slate becomes the booking front end.
£39 a month
Per clinic, any number of practitioners
No practice management system yet, so you need somewhere to run the clinic from as well.
£49 a month
Per clinic, any number of practitioners
The Plug-in price sits on top of whatever you already pay Cliniko, so compare it against £49 rather than against nothing. If your Cliniko subscription costs you more than £10 a month, Complete is usually the cheaper way round. We will do that sum with you on the call and tell you honestly which way it falls, including when the answer is to stay where you are.
Taking payment
Your monthly Slate fee and what it costs you to take a card are two separate things. Nobody takes a percentage of your treatment price. The only percentage anywhere near your money is the card fee, and that one is worth getting right.
Card processing is not a single rate, and any provider who gives you one before seeing your statement is quoting you an average and hoping. What you actually pay moves with four things:
Send us a recent card statement and we will come back with a Teya rate that is lower than the one you are on. If we cannot beat it, we will tell you that instead of talking you into switching for nothing.
Send us your statementWe look at a real statement rather than a headline rate, because that is the only way to compare like with like. Teya is our payments partner; you keep your own merchant account and your own money.

Treatwell is a marketplace that also gives you software. It can genuinely introduce you to patients who would never have found you. The question is what that introduction costs, and who owns the patient afterwards.

Source: Treatwell's own partner pricing page, treatwell.co.uk/partners/pricing, read on 13 November 2026. Their page states UK list prices as at 26 October 2026 and that all prices exclude VAT. Figures move: check theirs before relying on ours.
Our assumption, not their claim: twenty new marketplace clients at a £50 first appointment. Change either number and the figure changes with it, but the shape does not, because one line grows with your success and the other does not. VAT is excluded throughout and is reclaimable if you are registered.
Treatwell's Freelancer plan is £9.99 a month, which is cheaper than anything here, and the 35% only ever applies to patients the marketplace actually found for you. If what you want is somebody out there finding new patients, Treatwell does a job that Slate does not do at all. Slate is for clinics whose patients already know their name, who are tired of paying a third of a first appointment to be introduced to someone who would have found them on Google anyway, and who want the booking to happen on their own site. If that is not your clinic yet, a marketplace may genuinely be the right call for now.

A bespoke booking system is the other way to get what Slate gives you. It can work well. It also tends to cost a great deal before it works at all, and the bill does not stop at the build.

Questions about the money
Not on Plug-in or Complete. Those are per clinic, so you can add people without the bill moving. Solo is the exception: it is priced for one practitioner, and when you take on a second you move up to Plug-in or Complete depending on whether you are keeping your own practice management system.
No, and on the Plug-in plan that is the whole point. Your Cliniko diary stays the system of record, nobody has to learn anything new and no records move anywhere. Slate is the booking journey that sits on your own website in front of it. If you would rather not pay for a practice management system at all, Complete gives you the dashboard instead.
You move from Plug-in to Complete and the dashboard takes over, which is a ten pound a month difference rather than a rebuild. Your bookings and client history come across. Doing it the other way round works too if you decide you want a full practice management system later.
No, on any plan. There is no percentage of your treatment price, no fee per booking and nothing that grows because you had a busy month. The monthly figure on this page is the monthly figure. Card processing is a separate cost and is covered above.
That depends on your card mix, your volume and your average transaction, which is why we ask to see a statement rather than quote you a number we would have to walk back. Whatever rate you are on today, we will come back with a Teya rate that beats it, or tell you plainly that we cannot.
We will put the exact figure for your clinic in writing on the call, before you commit to anything, and that includes anything one-off and anything about notice. We would rather you saw the whole number up front than found a line you were not expecting on the first invoice.
Next step
Bring your current setup and, if you have one, a recent card statement. We will tell you which plan fits, what it would cost, and whether we can genuinely beat the rate you are on. If none of it is right for your clinic we will say so.
