Rebiza vs Pabau: Which Fits Your Med Spa?

Updated July 4, 2026

Pabau and Rebiza sit at opposite ends of a med spa’s day. Pabau is clinic-management software — EMR-style charting, consent forms, photos, and recall marketing, priced per user at roughly $28–$139/month. Rebiza is a 24/7 AI assistant that answers inquiries, quotes from your real price list, books open slots with deposits, and rebooks lapsed clients — $149/month flat, currently pre-launch.

They’re answers to different problems

A med spa’s revenue leaks in two places that clinic software was never really designed to watch. Before the visit: the “how much for lip filler?” message that lands at 9:40pm, sits until morning, and books with the injector across town who answered first. After the visit: the tox client who should return at week twelve, fully intends to, and quietly stretches to week twenty — or never comes back at all. Pabau concentrates on the visit itself: the chart, the consent, the photos, the record a medical aesthetics practice runs on. Rebiza concentrates on the before and after — converting inquiries the moment they arrive, and manufacturing the return visit on schedule.

So this isn’t a feature-by-feature knockout. It’s a question of which leak is costing your practice more right now, and which job you already have covered.

Where Pabau is stronger

Pabau is clinic-management software built for aesthetic and medical practices, and its center of gravity is the clinical record. Charting, consent forms, before-and-after photos, prescriptions — the documentation layer an injectable practice genuinely needs and a generic booking tool can’t fake. The workflows are aesthetic-clinic-specific rather than borrowed from salons, and marketing and recall campaigns come included on the higher tiers.

If your records, consents, and treatment notes need to live in one system — and for most medical aesthetics businesses, something has to do that job — Pabau covers ground Rebiza deliberately doesn’t. Rebiza has no charting, no consent forms, no photo storage. It’s a front desk, not a filing cabinet.

Where Rebiza is different

Rebiza’s core is a conversation. A prospective client texts “do you do tox, and what does it run?” and the AI answers in seconds with your real menu price, explains your deposit policy, offers two genuinely open consult slots, and sends your payment link — at 9:40pm, while you’re off the clock. It never guesses: prices come only from the menu you set, slots only from your actual calendar, and anything unusual — medical questions, complication worries, requests it can’t verify — gets flagged to you instead of answered. One shared inbox shows every thread, and the moment you type a manual reply the AI goes silent until you hand the conversation back.

Then the retention engine runs the cadence a solo injector never has time to run by hand. Each service carries its own rebooking cycle — tox at twelve weeks looks nothing like a facial series or a filler touch-up — so reminders go out when each client is actually due. Lapsed clients get win-back messages, finished visits trigger review requests, and the dashboard attributes exactly which revenue those messages recovered, in dollars, not vibes.

Every automated text runs through central guardrails: SMS consent captured up front, STOP honored immediately, quiet hours enforced. Those TCPA basics are handled at the platform level rather than left to however the last person configured a campaign.

Pricing compared

Pabau prices per user — roughly $28–$139/month per user depending on tier, as publicly listed in July 2026, with feature gates on the lower tiers. Recall campaigns and marketing sit higher up the ladder. For a true solo injector the entry math can start modest; add a nurse and a coordinator, or reach for the gated features, and the bill climbs with headcount.

Rebiza is one number: $149/month flat, unlimited AI conversations, no per-message fees, no percentage of bookings. On med-spa ticket sizes the break-even is short — one saved consult that becomes a $300+ treatment plan, or one twelve-week client pulled back on schedule, roughly covers the month.

What Rebiza doesn't do yet

• It’s pre-launch: founding businesses are onboarded from a waitlist, so you can’t sign up and start today the way you can with Pabau.
• No EMR, charting, consent forms, before/after photos, or prescriptions — Pabau’s clinical core is exactly the territory Rebiza doesn’t attempt.
• No invoicing or operations suite — it complements your practice-management system rather than replacing it.
• It doesn’t process cards: deposits run through the payment link you already use (Stripe, Square, PayPal) with one-tap owner confirmation.
• Web chat and SMS only — it doesn’t answer voice calls.
• No client marketplace: it converts and retains the demand you already attract rather than generating new discovery.

Can you run both?

Comfortably — they barely overlap. Pabau (or any EMR-style system) stays the system of record for charts, consents, and photos; Rebiza sits in front of it as the after-hours front desk, answering the texts, taking deposits on consults, and pulling twelve-week clients back on time. A cost-conscious solo practice may still pick one first, and the honest tiebreaker is this: if missing documentation would put your practice at risk, Pabau’s job comes first. If the documentation is handled and the leak is unanswered inquiries and quiet no-returns, that’s the job Rebiza was built for.
