AspireOS vs Splose: an honest comparison for allied health practices

Splose is one of the most popular practice systems in Australian allied health, and for good reason: it is well built, and its price per practitioner has been low. If you are weighing it against AspireOS, this is the comparison we would want to read ourselves: what each costs, what each includes, and where each is the better fit. Every figure about Splose is from Splose's own website, read on 25 October 2026, and linked so you can check it.

The price, like for like

Splose has one plan. From 1 November 2026 it is A$36 per practitioner a month billed monthly, or A$32 billed annually, before GST (Splose pricing; the change is in Splose's own 2026 pricing update, up from A$30 and A$27). Non-practitioner roles are free.

AspireOS is A$45 + GST per practitioner a month billed monthly, or A$40 + GST a month billed yearly (A$49.50 and A$44 including GST). Admin roles (practice manager, administrator, receptionist, bookkeeper) are free.

Put both on the same footing and Splose's base price is lower: A$36 plus GST against A$45 plus GST (A$39.60 against A$49.50 with GST). On base price alone, Splose is cheaper. The difference is in what each price includes.

What costs extra

• SMS. Splose charges 10c per outgoing message plus GST, and two-way texting is A$9 a month for a dedicated number plus 5c per reply. AspireOS includes two-way SMS on the practice's own number (fair use), so there are no credits to buy.
• AI notes. splose AI is an add-on at A$30 a user a month (A$27 billed annually). In AspireOS the AI note is part of the core app.
• Payments. Splose lists card payments at 1.95% + 30c and direct debit at 1% + 80c. AspireOS takes no fee on card payments: patients pay through your own Stripe account, so you pay only Stripe's own fees.

So which is cheaper depends on how much your practice texts and whether you use AI notes. A practice that sends few texts and no AI will pay less on Splose. A practice that texts every patient before every visit and wants AI notes for every clinician should add those costs to Splose's price before comparing.

Where Splose does more today

• Online claiming. Splose claims Medicare and health funds through Tyro Health and lodges DVA claims online. AspireOS does not lodge claims online yet: Medicare and DVA claiming and HICAPS are coming, waiting on partner approval.
• Instant online booking. Splose patients can book themselves in. AspireOS's booking page is a request the practice confirms.
• Telehealth built in, with Google Meet, Teams or Zoom. AspireOS telehealth visits carry the link of the video service you already use.

Where AspireOS does more

• Mobile and home-visit teams. AspireOS works out travel from real road times for the whole day, ranks free slots by the extra drive they add, and bills travel by funder, including the NDIS drive home after the last visit.
• Your team in the same app. Credentials with renewal reminders, rostering, leave and timesheets, as free add-ons.
• One price that covers the texting. Reminders, confirmations and two-way replies are part of the price.

Trying each one

Splose's trial is 14 days, and Splose's help centre says it rolls into a paid monthly plan on the card given at sign-up (Splose help). AspireOS asks for no card: you start free, and nothing is charged until you set up a direct debit.
