EasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics vs SchedulingHero

EasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics is a cloud CRM and online appointment platform for veterinary practices. It combines booking, staff scheduling, pet records, reminders, consultations, invoices and payments, with plans from free to paid.

SchedulingHero is a paid veterinary booking service that reads a practice management system (PIMS) schedule in real time, lets teams approve requests and writes approved appointments back. Clinics compare them when choosing booking, workflow and integration software.

Published pricingEasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics

EasyWeek publishes a free plan, paid plans from $8.33 per month, a 14-day trial and higher pricing of $16.63 per month for Unlimited. Third-party fees such as SMS, WhatsApp, Stripe and PayPal are extra. SchedulingHero is included in the $449-per-month HeroWorkflow package rather than given a separate price. HeroComplete uses custom pricing, and Vet Hero says package fees are generally non-cancelable and non-refundable. EasyWeek wins because its entry price and plan structure are stated clearly and start much lower.

Free accessEasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics

EasyWeek has a Free plan billed forever with essential features and basic booking. Its pricing page says automated reminders, detailed analytics and priority support require a paid subscription. SchedulingHero has no free plan. Vet Hero invites clinics to try it free or request a demo, but does not state a trial duration, and the product is listed inside the paid HeroWorkflow package. EasyWeek wins because it provides an ongoing free subscription, while SchedulingHero only states a free tryout without a published duration or free tier.

Veterinary workflowEasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics

EasyWeek lists pet medical records, online booking, automatic reminders, doctor schedules, calendar integration, online consultations, invoices, payments, resource scheduling, recurring appointments, CRM records, POS and inventory-linked sales. SchedulingHero focuses on online booking, selectable appointment types, real-time PIMS availability, approval before write-back, paperless forms, reminders, reviews and virtual consultations through the wider platform. EasyWeek wins this round because the listed veterinary workflow covers records, scheduling, transactions and business operations in one service.

IntegrationsEasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics

EasyWeek names Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Stripe, WordPress, Wix, Zapier and Make, and advertises a catalogue of more than 3,000 integrations. SchedulingHero identifies integration with PIMS systems and a custom Vet Hero Syncer, but does not name specific PIMS products. Its page does not list other named integrations. EasyWeek wins because the available facts provide a substantially longer named integration list and a broader catalogue, while SchedulingHero describes PIMS connectivity without product names.

PlatformsEasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics

EasyWeek lists Android, iOS, web, an extension and an API. Its business app is available for iPhone and Android, and its veterinary page also names iPad. SchedulingHero lists Android, iOS and web. Both are hosted services with mobile access, but EasyWeek lists additional extension and API access alongside those shared platforms. EasyWeek wins on the stated platform range. The facts do not establish differences in the mobile features or user experience on the shared Android, iOS and web platforms.

SupportEasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics

EasyWeek says support is available seven days a week at no cost on any plan. SchedulingHero support is provided by Vet Hero through a phone number and an email address. The facts do not state SchedulingHero support hours, whether support costs extra or whether support is included in every package. EasyWeek wins because its support availability and cost are explicit for all plans, while SchedulingHero’s listed contact routes come without published hours or coverage terms.

Privacy and securityEasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics

EasyWeek says data handling follows PCI DSS, SSL and GDPR standards and that it does not sell or share business or client data with third parties. Cancelled-account data is retained for 30 days before permanent deletion. SchedulingHero says it does not sell identifiable personal data without consent, uses reasonable precautions and cannot guarantee security. For U.S. protected health information, Vet Hero may act as a HIPAA business associate when required. EasyWeek wins on the stated standards and deletion timeline; SchedulingHero adds a HIPAA contracting statement.

API and custom connectionsEasyWeek for Veterinary Clinics

EasyWeek advertises an open API, webhooks and public developer material including OAuth2 documentation, widget examples and an API documentation repository. Users can configure up to five webhooks with event selection, retries and request history, although webhooks require the Pro plan. SchedulingHero describes PIMS connectivity and a Syncer but provides no public API or SDK documentation. EasyWeek wins because it explicitly offers documented developer access and configurable webhooks, while SchedulingHero’s connection details are limited to PIMS integration.
