A Cliniify alternative for general practices that want the follow-up to run itself.
Cliniify is built with the general practitioner in mind. Saaro Health serves GPs as one of thirteen specialties and adds owned WhatsApp infrastructure, voice prescriptions and AI follow-up flows. This page sets out the differences without a sales pitch.

Choose Cliniify if
- You want a product designed first for general practice, where the GP workflow is the default rather than one template among many.
- You prefer a vendor with longer tenure in GP clinics and a narrower, more focused feature set.
- Your follow-up is mostly in person and a bundled WhatsApp layer would not change your month.
- You already have a working setup on Cliniify and the cost of change outweighs what a new product adds.
Choose Saaro Health if
- You want prescriptions, reminders, reports and refills sent from your clinic's own WhatsApp number on infrastructure the vendor owns, with messaging bundled into the plan.
- You dictate in a Hindi and English mix and want structured prescriptions with interaction checks and AI consult notes.
- You see a lot of chronic patients and want follow-up, refill and reactivation flows to run without the front desk chasing.
- You are growing from one GP to a small group, or one location to two, and want one patient record across all of it.
- You want ABDM consent artefacts, ABHA linking, GST billing and data hosted in India in one product.

Where Cliniify is the better choice.
A product built for one kind of practice can make choices a broader product cannot. Cliniify's GP focus means the defaults — the way a visit is recorded, the common complaints, the routine investigations — are set for a family physician without configuration. Saaro ships a GP template and twelve others; ours is loaded for you on the demo call, but it is a template rather than the whole product's point of view.
Cliniify has also been in GP clinics longer. That tenure shows in the small things a general practice needs and a newer product may not have thought of yet. If you evaluate both and find a workflow detail in Cliniify that Saaro lacks, tell us, but do not assume we have it.
Finally, if your Cliniify setup is working and your patients are mostly walk-ins who do not need a WhatsApp follow-up, the honest answer is that switching may not be worth the two days. The case for Saaro is strongest when the follow-up is where you lose time or patients.

What switching from Cliniify involves.
A GP practice moving from Cliniify carries patients, visits, prescriptions, reports, invoices and future appointments. You export, we map the columns to Saaro's fields and import, and you verify a sample. Setup is typically within a day and migration from another EMR is typically about two days.
The difference you will notice first is in the follow-up. A GP sees many chronic patients — diabetes, hypertension, thyroid — and on Saaro their refill reminders, review dates and reports go out from your clinic's own WhatsApp Business number on SaroConnect, Lumotis's own WhatsApp Business Solution Provider infrastructure. There is no third-party BSP in the chain, messaging is bundled into the plan rather than metered, and there is no external template-approval queue when you change what a reminder says.
ABHA IDs carry across where you have them. Saaro stores ABDM consent artefacts in the record and pushes FHIR records where the patient has consented. Data is hosted in India, in the Mumbai region, with role-based access and an audit trail for DPDP Act 2023 readiness.
Dictation is where a busy GP gains the most. The prescription is spoken in Hindi and English, structured into drug, dose and duration rows, checked for interactions against the record, and sent, while the next patient is being called.
- Patients, visits, prescriptions, reports, billing and future appointments are the data types we move.
- Your existing WhatsApp Business number is verified on SaroConnect during setup.
- The GP template is loaded on the demo call, before migration starts.

Your questions answered.
The things clinics ask first.
What Cliniify exports — patients, visits, prescriptions, reports and invoices — is imported and verified against a sample before sign-off. If a field has no equivalent in Saaro, we tell you before import, and Cliniify stays read-only during the parallel week.
Setup is typically within a day and migration typically about two days: export and mapping on day 1, import and verification on day 2. A single-GP practice usually fits comfortably inside that.
Yes. Your clinic's WhatsApp Business number is verified on SaroConnect, our own WhatsApp infrastructure, so patients keep the same thread and clinic name. If you have been messaging from a personal number, we help you move to a Business number.
Saaro's Solo plan is ₹1,499 per clinic per month and the Clinic plan for 2–5 doctors is ₹3,999, billed annually and excluding GST. Setup, migration and patient messaging are included. Cliniify's own terms and notice period are between you and Cliniify.
Yes. Run Saaro as the working system for about a week with Cliniify open read-only, compare a few patients a day, and cut over once you and the front desk are comfortable.
