Clinic OS Pro vs Breakthrough
AI marketing platform + CRM for PT and chiro practices (Carl Mattiola + Chad Madden) – Starting $399/mo (real ACV $700-$5K+)
See how Clinic OS Pro compares for sports & ortho PT clinics.
Where Clinic OS Pro Wins
Done-for-you delivery vs tool rental
Breakthrough sells a platform. The clinic owner still has to deploy 30+ campaign templates, run the AI bot for inbound leads, and staff the workflow. The 60-Day Sprint is operator-led. We run no-show rescue, plan-of-care completion and Win-Back on your existing list, working with your front desk. You collect the dollars. Tool rental vs done-for-you delivery.
EMR-agnostic vs Prompt-anchored
Breakthrough's deepest features – especially the GrowthX bundle – are built around Prompt EMR integration. Clinic OS Pro integrates natively with Cliniko, Jane, Raintree, Juvonno, and more PT-native EMRs, plus FHIR-based connections for Epic and others. No migration, no Prompt lock-in, live within a week.
Guarantee asymmetry
Breakthrough's ROI floor guarantees you'll recover at least your monthly subscription cost – i.e. break-even on a $399-$1,500 fee. The 60-Day Sprint is owed only after we recover at least double it from your existing patient base. If you don't see it, you don't pay.
Existing-patient revenue vs cold-market campaigns
Breakthrough's strongest play is 30+ cold-market campaigns to fill a thin schedule. For a 5+ year owner-led clinic with 3,000-8,000 ex-patients in the EMR, the gold is internal: no-show recovery, plan-of-care completion, and lapsed Win-Backs. Clinic OS Pro's AI phone agent, plan-of-care progress tracking, and $-denominated recovery reporting are built precisely for that pool.
Where Breakthrough Wins
Deepest content library and brand in PT marketing
Breakthrough runs the Grow Your Practice Podcast (300+ episodes), the annual Breakthrough Virtual Summit, and one of the largest lead-magnet inventories in PT marketing. If your team will study and deploy their playbook, the resources are unmatched for new-patient acquisition.
AI Conversion Agent for inbound lead response
Breakthrough's AI agent responds to new inbound leads within minutes 24/7, integrated with their CRM. If lead response time for net-new patients is your primary bottleneck, this is a genuine product strength. Clinic OS Pro's AI phone agent is focused on existing patients – no-show recovery and appointment confirmation – not inbound lead conversion.
Which Is Right for Your Clinic?
Choose Clinic OS Pro if:
Owner-led sports and ortho PT clinics that want revenue recovery done for them in 60 days. No Prompt EMR migration. No hiring someone to run marketing software. And the fee is owed only after we recover double it.
Choose Breakthrough if:
PT or chiro clinics with internal staffing to deploy a marketing-software stack, a need for AI-powered new-patient acquisition campaigns, and either an existing Prompt EMR setup or willingness to migrate.
Common questions
How is Clinic OS Pro different from Breakthrough (getbreakthrough.com)?+
Breakthrough sells AI marketing software ($399-$5,000+/mo) and pre-built campaigns that your team operates – their job is net-new patient acquisition. Clinic OS Pro is PT-specific retention software ($249/mo) with three live recovery flows: Rescue (same-day no-show SMS + AI voice call), Complete (plan-of-care drop-off nudges), and Win-Back (lapsed-patient reactivation). The 60-Day Sprint runs those flows for you on your existing EMR list. Different parts of the funnel, not the same tool.
Does Breakthrough require me to switch to Prompt EMR?+
Breakthrough's deepest features – especially the GrowthX bundle – are built around Prompt EMR integration. You can use Breakthrough on other EMRs, but the full product assumes Prompt. Clinic OS Pro is EMR-agnostic: native integrations with Cliniko, Jane, Raintree, Juvonno, and more, plus FHIR-based connections and CSV import for any other system. No migration required.
What's Breakthrough's actual price?+
Their Pro plan starts at $399/mo (published). Premium with managed Meta/Google/TikTok ads typically runs $700-$1,500/mo. GrowthX with EMR integration and managed services runs $2,000-$5,000+/mo. Enterprise is custom-quoted. Most clinics end up in the $700-$1,500/mo range – well above the $399 anchor price.
Which guarantee is stronger – Breakthrough's or Clinic OS Pro's Sprint?+
Breakthrough guarantees you'll make back at least your monthly subscription cost – so a $399/mo customer is guaranteed $399 in recovered revenue, i.e. break-even. Clinic OS Pro's 60-Day Sprint is owed only after we recover at least double it from your existing patient base. If you don't see it, you don't pay.
How does Clinic OS Pro handle no-show patients that Breakthrough also tries to reach?+
Rescue Flow triggers the same day a patient misses. A personalized text within the hour. An optional AI phone call. Then a follow-up email. All from the treating PT's identity, and HIPAA-compliant. Breakthrough's AI agent is built for inbound new-patient leads, not same-day no-show recovery. They solve different timing problems in the patient journey.
Can I use Clinic OS Pro if I'm already on Breakthrough?+
Yes. The two target different parts of the funnel – Breakthrough does inbound lead acquisition; Clinic OS Pro recovers revenue from existing patients in your EMR via no-show rescue, plan-of-care completion, and Win-Back flows. Most clinics that try both end up shifting budget toward retention because the unit economics on recovered revenue outperform paid new-patient acquisition.
Does Clinic OS Pro require an EMR?+
No. Clinic OS Pro can run standalone with no EMR – import your patient list and use its built-in scheduling as your system of record. For clinics already on an EMR (Cliniko, Jane, Raintree, Juvonno, or others via CSV import), the native integrations mean you are live in under a week without any migration.
