How to choose a Zanda (Power Diary) alternative
- 1
What your bill is tied to
Zanda charges by plan and by active practitioner, with the base plan, practitioner additions and optional services adding to the monthly total. Work out what your practice actually uses, then compare that full figure against a setup fee and a flat monthly retainer for a version you own.
- 2
Whether your records stay yours
Ask where your client profiles, session notes and appointment history actually live and who controls them. A database you own keeps that history under your practice's control, rather than inside a subscription that stops if you stop paying it.
- 3
Whether it fits your own rules
Referral courses, GP reports, ACC or EAP approvals and account follow-up all have their own logic. Check whether the system can be shaped around how your practice actually tracks these, rather than asking your practice to fit the software's fields.
- 4
What switching actually involves
Moving means exporting your client list, notes, appointments, invoices and uploaded files, then reconciling that data and rebuilding open referral allowances. Understand this work upfront, whether you do it yourself with the free version or have it done for you.

Questions
Zanda (Power Diary) alternatives, answered
How do we compare our current Zanda bill with an owned version? expand_more
Add up your plan, every practitioner addition and any optional services you actually use, then compare that total against a one-off setup fee followed by a flat monthly retainer. There is no per-practitioner charge to add up on the owned side, which changes the comparison as your team grows.
Will our existing client and session history transfer across? expand_more
Yes. The client list, session notes, appointments, invoices and receipts are brought across from your exported data, with original notes kept as an archive and uploaded files retained separately. Open referral allowances are reconciled and rebuilt as part of the move.
Can the system track ACC, EAP or referral course allowances our way? expand_more
It can be built to track referral courses, approved allowances and remaining sessions the way your practice actually records them, rather than forcing a generic template. Enterprise DNA scopes this against how you currently manage referrals and approvals before building it.
Do we have to move everything at once, or can we test it first? expand_more
You can start with the free version and its fictional demonstration data before touching live records. A live move needs agreed access controls, secure hosting, backups and retention settled first, which Enterprise DNA can set up and operate as part of running your version.
