Can I try Medspa Photos without a sales call?

Yes. The 14-day trial is self-serve: sign up with a card, and your clinic is set up the same day. Nothing is charged until day 15, and you can cancel before then in one click. A walkthrough is available if you want one, but it is never required.

Does Medspa Photos have a ghost overlay like RxPhoto?

Yes. The patient's previous photo appears at 35% opacity in the live camera with gridlines and locked zoom, so staff line up the ghost and shoot. Every visit matches the one before it.

How do I move from RxPhoto to Medspa Photos?

Start capturing new visits in Medspa Photos today; there is nothing to migrate before your first photo. For your existing RxPhoto archive, export it and keep it in your own secure storage, and we will help you plan the move if you want a hand.

The RxPhoto alternative for independent med spas

Q: Is Medspa Photos a full EMR like PatientNow?

No. Medspa Photos does three things: aligned before and after capture, signed photo consent, and watermarked exports. Keep whatever you already use for booking, charting, and payments.

Updated July 27, 2026. Prices and claims checked against public listings on that date; sources at the end.

The short version: RxPhoto is the best-known before and after photo app in aesthetics, and for a large practice already running Nextech it is a reasonable choice. It lists at about $175 to $210 a month and you cannot try it without scheduling a demo call. It is also now sold as part of the PatientNow platform.

If you run an independent med spa and need aligned photos, signed photo consent, and safe Instagram exports, Medspa Photos does that job for $99 a month flat, and you can start a 14-day trial today without talking to anyone.

What RxPhoto does well

A fair comparison starts here. RxPhoto has been at this for years. Its ghosting is patented, it offers background removal and positioning templates, and it syncs with Nextech. If your practice runs Nextech, has several locations, and prefers sales-assisted onboarding with training calls, RxPhoto is built for you, and the price reflects that.

Where Medspa Photos differs

You can start today.

No dedicated photo and consent app in this market offers a self-serve trial. RxPhoto, TouchMD, PatientNow, Symplast, and Nextech all require a sales call first. With Medspa Photos you sign up, your clinic is set up the same day, and your card is not charged until day 15.

Consent is the gatekeeper, not a form in a drawer.

Each patient signs a photo consent on the same device that took the photos, choosing what they allow: clinical record only, or social media too, identifiable or not. The signed record is stored with the photos, versioned and time-stamped. When staff hit export, the server checks that consent. If it does not cover social media, the export does not happen. If a patient revokes, existing exports are pulled the same minute.

One flat price, and your data stays yours.

$99 a month per location covers unlimited staff and patients. No contract, no onboarding fee. If you cancel, your team keeps read access to every photo and consent record, and we export everything for you on request, free. This category has trained owners to expect the opposite, so we put it in writing.

Try the difference instead of reading about it. 14 days free, set up the same day, no call required.
