Clinic OS Pro vs Practice Promotions
PT marketing agency selling new-patient acquisition packages – $1,800-$3,200/mo + custom
See how Clinic OS Pro compares for sports & ortho PT clinics.
Where Clinic OS Pro Wins
Recover existing revenue first, before paying for more leads
Practice Promotions' entire pitch is more new patients online. That works only if your retention systems can absorb them. If your no-show rate is 18% and plan-of-care completion is 65%, every new patient you buy falls through the same hole. Clinic OS Pro plugs the hole first – then ad spend becomes optional, not survival.
10x stronger guarantee
Practice Promotions risks one month of fees ($1,800-$3,200) when they miss their lead target. The 60-Day Sprint risks the entire engagement: $30K of recovered revenue or you don't pay. The risk transfer is asymmetric.
Designed for owner-led clinics, not multi-location groups
Practice Promotions' Ultimate plan is built for 'clinics with more than 3 providers or multi-location groups.' Solo and 1-3 provider sports & ortho clinics – the exact owner-led segment Clinic OS Pro serves – are pushed to lower tiers without the full feature set.
$149/mo vs $1,800-$3,200/mo
Even before the Sprint, Clinic OS Pro's monthly SaaS is 8-20x less than Practice Promotions' agency retainer. And the Sprint itself is structured around recovered dollars, not retainer fees.
Operator-led recovery, not a vendor on the hook for leads
Practice Promotions delivers leads – qualifying them, booking them, and converting them is your clinic's problem. The 60-Day Sprint runs the recovery campaigns on your existing patient list in coordination with your front desk, so the dollars actually land in your collections.
Where Practice Promotions Wins
Established PT marketing engine since 2011
Practice Promotions has marketed 1,200+ clinic locations, made the Inc. 5000 in 2020 and 2021, and runs a 174-episode podcast (The Practice Marketing Podcast). For a clinic ready to scale net-new patient acquisition through ads + SEO + print, they have a track record.
Physical-mail capability is a real differentiator
They still operate an in-house print shop and ship physical newsletters and direct-mail kits. If your patient demographic responds to mail (older sports/ortho ortho referrals, e.g.), this is a channel Clinic OS Pro doesn't offer.
Money-back guarantee on lead count
On the Pro and Ultimate plans, they refund or comp the next month if they miss the 20-leads/month target. That's a concrete promise – just on a different axis than Clinic OS Pro's revenue-recovery promise.
Which Is Right for Your Clinic?
Choose Clinic OS Pro if:
Owner-led sports & ortho PT clinics that want to recover $30K+ of existing revenue from no-shows, POC drop-offs, and lapsed patients before adding more ad spend – at a price that doesn't crush 10-15% margins.
Choose Practice Promotions if:
Multi-provider or multi-location PT groups (3+ providers) with strong retention systems already in place and a real budget for SEO, paid ads, websites, and print marketing.
Common questions
How is Clinic OS Pro different from Practice Promotions?+
Practice Promotions is a marketing agency that sells new-patient acquisition through ads, websites, SEO, and print – $1,800-$3,200/mo retainers, designed for multi-provider clinics. Clinic OS Pro is retention software ($149/mo) plus the 60-Day Sprint, which recovers revenue from patients you've already paid to acquire. We don't compete on lead volume; we compete on whether the patients in your EMR ever pay you a second visit.
Which is cheaper, Clinic OS Pro or Practice Promotions?+
Clinic OS Pro starts at $149/mo (public). Practice Promotions starts at $1,800/mo and tops out around $3,200/mo for the Ultimate plan, with Enterprise pricing custom-quoted for 8+ location groups. On pure monthly cost, Clinic OS Pro is 8-20x less. On total program cost, the 60-Day Sprint is structured to recover at least $30K within 60 days – so the Sprint pays for itself or you don't pay.
Does Practice Promotions guarantee results?+
Yes – their Pro and Ultimate plans guarantee at least 20 patient leads per month, with the next month free if they miss. That's a real guarantee, but it's asymmetric to Clinic OS Pro's: Practice Promotions risks one month of fees; Clinic OS Pro's Sprint risks the entire engagement against a $30K revenue floor.
Can I run both Practice Promotions and Clinic OS Pro?+
Yes – they target different parts of the funnel. Practice Promotions drives net-new patients into your front door. Clinic OS Pro recovers existing revenue from the patients already in your EMR. Most clinics that try both end up shifting more spend to retention because the unit economics are stronger, but they're complementary, not mutually exclusive.
Do I have to switch my EMR to use Clinic OS Pro?+
No. Clinic OS Pro plugs into your existing EMR (Cliniko, Raintree, Juvonno, and more PT-native systems in active development). There's no migration, no data export, no staff retraining. Most clinics are live within a week. Run your number on the calculator below to see what's recoverable from your existing patient list.
