BookPhysio vs general healthcare marketplaces
An honest, criteria-led comparison. The BookPhysio column states our terms plainly. The general marketplace column stays generic, because listing fees, commissions, and lead charges vary by platform and by plan. Check any platform's current terms before you decide.
| Criterion | BookPhysio | General healthcare marketplaces (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Listing cost | Free. ₹0 to list, no setup charge, no monthly subscription. | Often a listing or subscription fee to appear or stay visible. |
| Commission per booking | None. No commission on any booking. | Frequently a commission per booking, or paid leads you buy. |
| Who holds the payment | Nobody in between. The patient pays you directly at the session, by cash, UPI, or card. | May process the payment or charge per lead, sitting between you and the patient. |
| Verification method | NCAHP, IAP, or State Council registration checked before your profile goes live. | General medical directory checks spread across many specialties. |
| Physiotherapy-only vs general healthcare | Physiotherapy only. Patients here are searching for a physio. | General healthcare across hundreds of categories, from dentists to labs. |
| Paid placement | No paid placement. Visibility reflects profile quality, and the Elite badge is earned, not bought. | Sponsored or promoted placement is often available to buy. |
