BookAndGo vs Halaxy

See how New Zealand service businesses compare Halaxy with BookAndGo

“Halaxy is 'free' practice-management software that earns its money on fees: per payment processed, per SMS sent, and paid feature add-ons. For a clinical allied-health practice, that can work. But if you want simple online booking, reminders, marketing and invoices on a flat, predictable price with no per-use fees, BookAndGo is the cleaner fit.”

Why businesses switch from Halaxy

Halaxy is a widely-used practice-management platform for allied health, popular partly because the core software is free. It handles clinical records and appointments. The trade-off is a fee-on-usage model: you pay per payment processed, per SMS sent, and for various premium features. For a clinical practice it is a reasonable deal; for a booking-first business, the per-use fees and clinical depth can be more than you need.

One flat fee, no per-use surprises

BookAndGo is a single flat monthly price from free to NZ$129/mo. Halaxy's software is free but bills you per payment and per SMS, so the real cost moves with your volume. A price you can forecast beats a 'free' plan that nickel-and-dimes the busy months.

AI booking Halaxy doesn't have

Clients book on your page through an AI web chat. It fills the diary automatically, day and night, without you lifting a finger.

Marketing to fill and keep the diary

Email campaigns, loyalty, review requests and rebooking nudges are all included. And honestly: if you rely on clinical records, keep Halaxy for that, or pair the two. BookAndGo is for the booking and marketing side.
