Finbogo vs Writeupp: How to choose a platform to suit your needs

So, you’re trying to choose a new healthcare booking platform and can’t decide between Finbogo and WriteUpp? Both are solid options - if we do say so ourselves. That said, let’s be honest: there’s no such thing as a truly unbiased opinion, especially when we have skin in the game. We’re all shaped by our experiences, and that naturally influences how we see things.

We could give you a cool little feature comparison chart between Finbogo and WriteUpp, but honestly, how much does that really help with your decision? At best, these comparison charts are misleading, and just used as a tool for companies to sell you their product. Two features, though named alike, can work completely differently too.

We can’t speak on the inner workings of WriteUpp, though we know it’s a solid platform with a lot to offer. What we can speak to is Finbogo, and why it might be exactly what your practice needs to gain an edge.

We’re not trying to copy WriteUpp or anyone else. Finbogo was built from the ground up based on real feedback from practitioners, with features designed to solve the industry’s most common pain points, ones we felt were being overlooked.

We do it differently here at Finbogo

In the spirit of doing things a little differently, we’re not going to compare platforms, but we are going to outline some of the important things that you would want a practice management software to have, you know, the kind of features that make your life easier.

We’re not just trying to market a product to you, we’re really trying to make seeing clients easier. We have personal experience of not being able to get what we need when we need it. Not only that, but we aim to be a completely free resource through blogs on how to do it all on your own, if you’d rather market and manage your business without us.

It’s not just about the tech

Most platforms want to show you how "fantastic" their software is. But tech is only half the story. What you really want is something that actually supports you while you work. It shouldn’t slow you down, or require a four-hour onboarding call to explain how to cancel an appointment. It should be simple, and intuitive.

We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what it's like to run a busy practice, and we’ve designed Finbogo so you don’t have to constantly think about the system behind you. It’s just there, quietly doing what it’s supposed to do - leaving you room to be doing what you’re supposed to be doing.

We don’t make you jump through hoops

Some platforms are amazing at what they do once you’ve configured everything just right. But let’s be frank (bonus if you're actually called Frank), most people don’t have the time or patience to dive into endless settings menus or watch 10 tutorial videos just to send a text reminder.

We cut out the fluff. You log in, you see what’s happening, you get on with your day. No hidden tools, no chasing down help docs. It just works, and if something doesn’t, we’re right here to fix it.

Marketing and bookings should work together

Here’s something a lot of platforms still get wrong, they separate the business side from the clinical side. So you end up using one system to treat patients, and another to try and actually get them through the door.

We built Finbogo to do both. Not just because it’s more convenient, but because we believe growing your practice shouldn’t require a degree in digital marketing (though it couldn't hurt). Whether you want to let us take care of visibility for you through our platform or just learn how to do it yourself with our resources - we’ve got you covered.

No sales pressure, ever

We’re not here to trap you in a free trial that runs out before you’ve even had a chance to figure things out. And we’re definitely not here to flood your inbox with “Did you forget to finish signing up?” emails.

Take your time. Ask questions. Book a demo, or don’t. Browse our resources and do it on your own terms. We’ve built this platform because we believe practitioners deserve better tools, and better support - not because we’re chasing sign-ups for the sake of it.

So what should you look for?

Instead of asking which platform has the longest feature list, try asking this:

• Does it help you spend more time with patients and less time on admin?
• Does it actually make running your business easier, not harder?
• Do you feel like the people behind the platform actually get what your day looks like?

That’s what we asked ourselves when we built Finbogo. And if those things matter to you too, you might find you don’t need a comparison chart to decide what’s right.
