If you're a solo physiotherapist, you've likely heard of Semble. It's a well-known name in practice management, but it's also a system that was architected for large, multi-consultant hospital practices and private clinics. That enterprise DNA means complexity, high costs, and a setup process that can eat into your patient-facing time for weeks. We built RecallFill differently. This comparison cuts through the marketing to show you exactly how RecallFill supports the solo professional with a streamlined, affordable, and genuinely intuitive approach—so you can focus on what you do best: delivering exceptional care.
The number one reason solo therapists tell us they leave Semble is the sheer overhead. You're not running a department; you're running a practice from your shoulder, your home studio, or a rented room in a gym. Semble's feature set is powerful, but it's overkill when you just need to manage appointments, notes, and follow-ups without a steep learning curve. Every extra minute spent wrestling with software is a minute taken from your patients. RecallFill was designed by clinicians who understand that pain. We stripped away the enterprise bloat and built a system that gets out of your way, letting you book, document, and send reminders in seconds, not clicks.
Let's talk money. Semble's enterprise tier starts at around £100 per month, but that's just the beginning. You'll likely face setup fees, per-user licenses (even if you're the only user), and paid add-ons for features that should be standard. Over a year, that's over £1,200—plus the opportunity cost of the hours you spend on onboarding, data migration, and training. RecallFill's pricing is transparent and fair. We offer a single, affordable monthly plan that includes unlimited patient records, SMS and email reminders, secure video consultations, and robust reporting. No hidden costs, no minimum contracts, no enterprise bloat. You pay for what you use, and you can start today without a lengthy implementation project.
We've compared ourselves to Semble in many competitive analyses, and the verdict is always the same: RecallFill is designed for agility. Semble's complex customization options and role-based permissions are essential for a 20-person clinic but absurd for a solo operation. RecallFill gives you exactly the right amount of control—clean dashboards, one-click note templates, and automated insurance claims—without the administrative overhead. Here's a head-to-head breakdown based on what actually matters to a solo physiotherapist:
| Feature | RecallFill | Semble (Enterprise) |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing Transparency | Flat, affordable monthly fee (est. £49/mo) | £100+/mo, plus setup and per-seat costs |
| Setup Time | Go live in under 30 minutes | Typically 2–4 weeks with dedicated onboarding |
| User Interface | Intuitive, created for solo professionals | Complex, built for large teams with role hierarchies |
| Patient Reminders | Unlimited automated SMS/email follow-ups | Available, but often at extra cost per message |
| Telehealth Integration | Built-in, one-click video sessions | Available, but requires additional configuration |
| Mobile App | Full-featured iOS/Android app | Focused on admin functions; clinical features require desktop |
| Customizable Templates | Free template library for physio, unlimited custom notes | Advanced customization often requires paid add-ons |
| Reports & Analytics | Key metrics at a glance: visits, outcomes, revenue | Enterprise-grade BI tools, overkill for solo use |
| Contract Flexibility | No minimum term; cancel anytime | Often requires annual commitment |
| Support | Real human support via chat or phone, within minutes | Tiered support, but enterprise response times vary |
From the moment you wake up, RecallFill works with you, not against you. Your day starts with a simple, at-a-glance schedule. You can update patient notes with voice-to-text while moving between treatment rooms. You can send post-session exercise plans with a few taps. And when a patient is running late, RecallFill automatically sends a friendly reminder—no need to micromanage. We've thought through every task you perform dozens of times a day, and we've automated the repetitive parts. The result? More time for hands-on care, less time in front of a screen.
We know switching software feels daunting, especially when your current system holds years of patient history. That's why we offer a concierge migration service. Our team will import your patient contacts, appointments, and clinical notes from your current system—including Semble—securely and completely. You don't have to lift a finger. And because our platform is so intuitive, most practitioners are fully comfortable within their first session. We also offer a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, so you can experience the difference risk-free.
