What happened to YClients in Ukraine
According to dev.ua on 26 December 2023, YClients left Ukraine in 2022 and moved its clients to Altegio. So for a Ukrainian practitioner it is practically one story, and the comparison is best read together.
When to pick Altegio
If you run a venue with a team and need a till, stock, payroll, reports and client booking through several channels, an all-purpose system fits better. At launch Belanote does not have those features: it focuses on the practitioner's records and booking.
When to pick Belanote
If you work alone, keep formulas and photos, record patch tests and signed consents and want all of it to work without internet, Belanote focuses on exactly that. It does not bring you new clients: it is not a marketplace.
You can start small
Your first 15 clients in Belanote are free, forever. CSV import of clients is planned soon after launch; until then you can add them by hand.
