There are similarities. But not really - we have some crossover with Mailchimp, but we are designed for health clinics that use Cliniko - you can do so much more with Peptalkr. Check out our comparison table here.

Is it like CliniqApps?

There is some crossover. But we're a very different platform. We offer a unique system designed to be easy to use, provide the features you actually want and you get an entire email marketing system with a drag and drop email builder!
