Bliss vs Halaxy
Published Updated
Which is better for an Indian therapist, Bliss or Halaxy?
It depends on where you practise and what you need free. Halaxy gives a broad free platform with no caps on practitioners or appointments and pay-as-you-go extras, and it is strongest in Australia. Bliss suits therapists and clinics in India: invoices with your GSTIN and GST setting, UPI and cash recorded against each invoice, prices in rupees, client documents stored in India, and notes closed to the front desk.
