The best AI receptionists and re-engagement tools for Cliniko clinics. Ranked honestly.

We build Routiq, so you should expect us to say Routiq. Instead, here is the whole field with a winner per category, including the categories we lose. Every fact comes from public sources and carries a date. When a tool beats us at something, we say so on its own page.

2026 category winners

1 · Best for patient re-engagement

Routiq

The only tool in the Cliniko ecosystem that combines reception, automatic rebooking-report follow-ups and AHPRA-aware message checking in one subscription. If the goal is a full diary rather than an answered phone, this is the category that matters.

2 · Best pure voice receptionist

Aeva AI Receptionist

1,300+ practitioners across six countries and one of the highest ratings in the directory. If the brief is strictly answer the phone, Aeva is the proven pick.
