Weighing up Power Diary / Zanda?
Zenvia vs Power Diary — and the bigger question first
Most counsellors comparing practice tools are really choosing between three things: doing it all yourself, joining a group practice and giving up 30–40% of billings, or a flat-fee platform like Zenvia. Power Diary has also rebranded as Zanda — same platform, new name. If you're specifically weighing Zenvia against it, figures below are from Zanda's own Australian pricing page, verified October 2026 (Zanda runs time-limited introductory discounts on the figures below — we've used the standard ongoing rate, not the promo price).

First, the bigger picture
DIY, a group practice, or Zenvia — before you compare software
Whichever practice-software you pick, you're still choosing how the whole practice runs: run it entirely yourself, join a group practice, or keep 90% on Zenvia with the admin handled.
Comparing the software specifically
Zenvia vs Power Diary / Zanda, feature by feature
Zanda figures are AUD, excl. GST, sourced from their Australian pricing page — zandahealth.com/au/pricing, verified October 2026 — check their site for current rates and any time-limited promotional pricing. Zanda's global/US pricing page quotes lower USD figures for the same plans; don't confuse the two.
The honest numbers
At full billings, Zanda is likely cheaper in raw dollars
We're not going to dress this up. Take a solo practice seeing 20 clients a week at $140 a session — roughly $12,100 in monthly billings. On Zenvia's 10%, that's about $1,210 a month. On Zanda's Starter plan (AU$29/month) plus AI Pro for unlimited AI Scribe (AU$25 + GST, about AU$27.50/month), that's around AU$56.50 a month — a lot less.
If your practice runs at consistently high, predictable volume and you're comfortable paying a flat monthly fee per practitioner as you grow a group practice, a flat subscription like Zanda's can genuinely cost less. We'd rather tell you that than have you find out after signing up.
Where the percentage model earns its keep instead: a new practice building a caseload, a practitioner working part-time or coming back from leave, or a group practice that doesn't want every added practitioner to increase the fixed monthly bill.
