Compare the plan that actually connects.

A free scribe plan and a plan with direct Cliniko filing may have different inclusions. Check the integration, custom-template support, session allowance and billing period together.

8 Scribe includes direct Cliniko filing and unlimited consultations for normal clinical use at its published per-clinician price. Use the API key from your own Cliniko practitioner account, select the patient and synced treatment-note template, then review before saving.

  • Keep treatment notes linked to the selected patient.
  • Use your existing Cliniko template headings.
  • Review the saved note in Cliniko after filing.

Match the tool to the work after the consultation.

Choose 8 Scribe when mixed-language physiotherapy consultations, AI body charts and a short route to the Cliniko record matter to your clinic. It works in a browser on phone or computer, with no install required.

Heidi offers a wider clinical AI workspace, with Cliniko on its Practice and Enterprise plans. Hanah adds patient engagement and care planning. Grounded Scribe has session-based tiers, and CliniScribe offers documentation and treatment-planning products. Nookal JAN is a native Nookal option, so it is listed as context rather than as a Cliniko integration.

Test the whole Cliniko filing path.

Try a fictional consultation in your usual treatment-note template. Switch naturally between English and Mandarin or Cantonese if that reflects your practice. Check the draft, any symptom chart and the saved Cliniko note before deciding.

  • Which paid plan includes the Cliniko connection?
  • Does the note keep your headings and patient-reported details?
  • How many edits remain between the finished consultation and the filed record?

Common questions

Can 8 Scribe file directly to Cliniko?

Yes. Select the patient and a synced Cliniko treatment-note template, record the consultation, review and edit the draft, then choose Save to Cliniko.

Do I need to install a browser extension?

No. 8 Scribe works in your browser on phone or computer. Connect using the API key from your own Cliniko practitioner account.

Does a Cliniko API connection mean an official directory listing?

No. A working API connection and a Cliniko connected-app directory listing are separate. Check the vendor’s integration instructions and Cliniko’s directory when comparing products.

A$29 founding price per clinician/month. Standard A$39. GST included.
