A card index and paper
Costs nothing and always works. Until you are standing at a client's door and the card is back at the practice.
Short answer: to get started yes, in the long run rarely. Here is what you really get for nothing, where it usually stops, and what Podologix costs.
Most practitioners do not start from nothing. They already have something. It just costs nothing.
Costs nothing and always works. Until you are standing at a client's door and the card is back at the practice.
Names and phone numbers fit fine. History, foot points and photos are not what a spreadsheet is for.
Appointments work well. But the calendar does not know who your client is or what you did last time.
Not on day one, but after a few months, once enough clients have piled up.
What you note about your clients' feet and health does not belong in some spreadsheet in some cloud. Podologix encrypts everything on your device before it goes anywhere.
What did we do last time? How did that nail look four weeks ago? That is exactly the part free tools leave out.
With no backup and no sync, your whole client file hangs on a single device.
No small print, no subscription trap.
Full feature set, one device, no payment details. Nothing to cancel: the demo simply runs out.
Unlimited clients, appointments and entries, sync across devices, encrypted backups.
Even if you stop: you can take everything with you as an encrypted backup.
No. There are 14 days with the full feature set and no payment details, then a licence costs from 9.99 € a month. That is how we fund it: not through advertising, and not through your data.
For a handful of clients that works. The moment you want foot care histories, foot points and photos, a spreadsheet stops helping. And health data in an arbitrary cloud is trickier than it first looks.
Nothing is lost. You can still read what you entered and take an encrypted backup. To keep working you need a licence.
No. The demo asks for no payment details and does not renew by itself.
No credit card, no obligation, no automatic renewal.
For Android 8.0+ (API 26+).
