Qleven or Pabau: which one for your clinic?
WhatsApp AI, equipment anti-fraud, native ES/FR VAT and transparent pricing.
In short
Serious medical-aesthetic software (UK/global), strong on clinical records.
Pabau is a serious medical-aesthetic software, recognized for its clinical records, consents and before/after photos. On that turf, it is excellent.
A recent public review (Feb 2026) illustrates this expectation: it notes “it would be ideal if WhatsApp was integrated.” Its accounting runs through a Xero/QuickBooks integration rather than native ES/FR VAT.
You run a medical-aesthetic clinic and you are weighing up Pabau. Serious medical-aesthetic software (UK/global), strong on clinical records. The problem: day to day, missed appointments, an overloaded front desk and patched-together tax handling cost you time and revenue, month after month. With Qleven, the math changes: WhatsApp AI, equipment anti-fraud, native ES/FR VAT and transparent pricing.
Head to head, point by point
| On this point | Pabau | Qleven |
|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp AI receptionist | No WhatsApp AI agent; “Pabau Scribe” is a note-taking assistant, not a receptionist. WhatsApp requested in review (Feb 2026). | An AI agent answers and books on WhatsApp 24/7, with human handoff. |
| Equipment anti-fraud | To our knowledge (June 2026), no equipment-consumption control. | Measures each device’s real consumption and cuts off if no validated appointment. |
| Accounting / VAT | Via Xero/QuickBooks integration (UK-leaning). | Native double-entry accounting and VAT (ES/FR), prepaid packages included. |
| Pricing | Recurring public reviews about add-ons and a real total cost above the advertised one. | Modular, transparent pricing, no lock-in. |
