1. The moment medspas outgrow it
It is not gradual and it is not about polish. It is the day the clinic starts putting things into people that require a prescription.
Jane publishes no e-prescribing capability and no EPCS — electronic prescribing of controlled substances — anywhere in its materials. That is not an oversight on their part; allied health practitioners do not prescribe, so the product has no reason to carry it. But a medspa offering semaglutide, testosterone, or anything a physician has to sign for cannot use Jane as the record for that work. The prescription has to live somewhere else, which means the chart is split across two systems from that day forward.
The same thing happens with product. A medspa holds inventory — toxin vials, filler syringes, peptide kits, IV bags — with lot numbers, expiry dates and a real cost of goods. Booking software does not track that, so it ends up in a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet and the chart disagree by the end of the first month.
2. Medspa software compared, with real numbers
Every figure below comes from the vendor's own published pricing page, checked on 11 August 2026.
| Platform | Pricing model | Cost at 3 prescribers | EPCS | Non-prescribing staff | Setup fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aminova | Flat, per tier | $599/mo (Core) | Included | Unlimited, free | $1,000 |
| Cerbo | Per provider | $843/mo + $79 portal = $922/mo | Supported | $63/mo each | $1,195 |
| OptiMantra | Per seat | $197/mo + EPCS $38 = $235/mo | $38/mo add-on | $25/mo per clinical seat | None published |
| Jane App | Per practitioner | $79 × 3 = $237/mo | None published | $39–79/mo each | None published |
| Praxis EMR | Not published | Not published | Not published | Not published | Not published |
Read the EPCS column before the price column. Jane is the cheapest platform on this page by a wide margin and will stay that way — but if your medspa prescribes, the cost comparison is not the comparison you are actually making. Jane’s figure is three full-time practitioners at $79/mo on the Practice plan; its Balance plan is $54/mo but caps at 20 appointments a month, which no working medspa will stay inside.
3. The features medspas actually ask about
People evaluating medspa software tend to work through the same list, so here is the honest position on each.
Payments. This is the one that catches medspas out. Card processors prohibit prescription medication sales, and enforcement is automatic — accounts get frozen with the balance inside. Aminova routes medication charges away from the standard card rail entirely and blocks them in software rather than in a policy document. If you sell nothing that requires a prescription, this does not affect you and Jane is fine.
Memberships and packages. A medspa membership is an allowance, not just a recurring charge — so many units, so many drips, so many facials a month. Aminova draws credits down as visits happen and tells the front desk at booking whether the appointment is already covered. Most booking-first platforms bill the card correctly and know nothing about what the patient is still owed.
Treatment plans and consultation forms. Reusable protocols, injectable mapping and consent capture, with the consent tied to the specific treatment rather than filed loose in documents.
Online booking. Jane is genuinely excellent here and has been for years. If booking is the only thing you need software for, that is a real reason to stay.
Reporting. Revenue by service, by provider and by product, plus cost of goods on what you dispense — which you cannot report on at all if inventory lives in a spreadsheet.
4. Where Jane is still the better choice
If your medspa is aesthetics-only — facials, laser, body contouring, massage — and nobody on staff writes a prescription, Jane is cheaper, the booking is better, and there is no good reason to move. Switching platforms to gain capabilities you do not use is a cost with no return.
It is also the better fit if you run allied health alongside the aesthetic side. Jane was built for that work and covers physiotherapy, chiropractic and mental health properly, where Aminova deliberately does not.
The switch makes sense at the point where prescribing, dispensing or medical-grade memberships become a real part of the business rather than an experiment — because that is the point where staying means running two systems and reconciling them by hand.
5. Frequently asked questions
Does Jane App support e-prescribing?
Jane publishes no e-prescribing or EPCS capability in its materials. It is built for allied health practitioners, who do not prescribe. If your medspa prescribes, that work has to live in another system.
Is Aminova more expensive than Jane?
Yes. Jane's Practice plan is $79/mo per full-time practitioner against Aminova from $199/mo. The gap closes as you add non-prescribing staff — free on Aminova, $39–79/mo each on Jane — but Jane will remain cheaper for a small aesthetics-only team, and that is the right choice for that clinic.
Can we move our data from Jane?
Yes — patient records, demographics, appointment history and documents import. The practical constraint is what Jane will export, so establish that before you fix a switchover date.
What about medspas that do both aesthetics and injectables?
That is the common case and it is exactly where the split-system problem appears: bookings and facials in one platform, prescriptions and inventory somewhere else. Whether that is worth consolidating depends on how much of your revenue sits on the medical side.
Is this comparison independent?
No. Aminova publishes it and is one of the platforms in it, which is stated at the top. Every competitor figure comes from that vendor's own published pricing page so you can check each one yourself.
