Jane is the premium darling of clinic software, and it earns real affection. The math is the catch: $54 caps you at 20 appointments a month, the working tier is $79, every additional full time practitioner is another $79, and the website add on runs about $59. Here is the honest side by side.

Jane prices by the practitioner, and honest budgeting has to say it plainly: a two person massage practice on the working tier pays about $158 a month before processing, and about $237 at three. The same practice on PainTrace pays $29 at any size, with team lanes, per person calendars, and per person booking alerts included.
Jane goes broad across physio, chiro, counselling and more, and it goes deep for clinics that need all of that under one roof. PainTrace goes deep in one place: massage and bodywork. Pressure preferences and focus areas on the booking form, pain check ins that become trend lines and body maps, superbills with CPT codes, and a rebooking engine tuned to how massage clients actually behave.

Your clients and your data stay yours on the way in, and they stay yours if you ever leave.
