Growth99 sells two things at once: its own practice software (CRM, email and SMS automation, reviews, forms, an AI front desk) and done-for-you marketing (websites, SEO, Google and Meta ads).
That bundle comes on a one-year term that renews automatically, according to its published terms.
So the natural alternatives split in two.
If you want the marketing without depending on a vendor's software, you want an agency that works in your own accounts and tools.
If you mostly want the software, you want software without the agency, and your booking software may already cover part of it.
This page covers the first group: five agencies worth weighing against Growth99, each with a clear reason to pick it.
Growth99 alternatives compared

"Not published" means we couldn't find it on the company's site, not that it doesn't exist; ask for it in writing.
What does Growth99 do well?
Growth99 has focused on aesthetic and elective wellness practices since 2017, and says it supports more than 1,000 practices (self-reported).
- One login for the front office: email and SMS automation, a form builder, a patient self-assessment tool and an AI chatbot come in every plan, with review requests and a custom website from the Accelerator plan up.
- Detailed plan inclusions: its pricing page spells out what each plan and paid media tier includes, down to managed ad spend caps of $1,500, $3,500 or $8,000 a month.
- Both ad platforms: its paid media tiers run Google Ads and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) ads, with landing pages and call tracking.
- Speed to lead: Gia, its AI front desk launched in 2026, is described as responding to every inbound inquiry in under 60 seconds.
- A published BAA: the full Business Associate Agreement is on its site.
Why do practices look for a Growth99 alternative?
Usually it's fit, not failure.
Published pricing
Growth99 lists plan inclusions, but every price reads "available upon request," so budget-first buyers look for published numbers.
Contract length
A one-year term with automatic renewal and 60 days' notice suits some practices and not others.
A narrower scope
Some practices already have a CRM and booking software they like, and only need conversion, local SEO or Meta ads fixed.
A wider team
Others want more people on the account: brand, photo and video, social and coaching from a large in-house team.
The 5 best Growth99 alternatives
More Booked Consults: best for conversion, local SEO and Meta ads with no software to depend on
More Booked Consults is a med spa and plastic surgery marketing agency focused on conversion (landing pages, CRO), local SEO and managed Meta ads.
It's run by Gabe Meierotto, LaserAway's in-house Director of CRO from 2018 to 2023, and works only with aesthetic practices.
- Services: conversion-focused landing pages, conversion rate optimization, local SEO built on topical authority (including Google Business Profile work and citation cleanup), and managed Meta ads with fresh static image creative every month.
- Pricing and contract (published): CRO $2,500/month and local SEO $2,500/month (both for $5,000/month), each on a 6-month minimum; managed Meta ads $3,000/month plus a $2,500 one-time setup on a 3-month minimum, with ad spend (minimum $3,000/month) paid by you directly to Meta and never marked up.
- No software lock-in: the work runs in your own site, ad account and Google Business Profile; there's no proprietary CRM or app to migrate off.
- Not offered: Google Ads, website rebuilds, organic social, email and SMS, CRM setup, review campaigns, photo or video.
At LaserAway, Gabe's testing program took sitewide conversion from 3% to 11% across 2,600+ tested variations (documented in Intellimize's published case study; see results); those are his results in a former in-house role, not agency client results.
Choose it over Growth99 if you already have a CRM and booking software you're happy with, and your gap is a site that doesn't turn visitors into booked consults, weak map-pack visibility, or Meta ads that need pages built to convert.
Plastix Marketing: best for an integrated agency with CRM setup and a BAA
Plastix is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, and works exclusively with aesthetic practices: plastic surgeons, med spas, dermatologists, cosmetic dentists and orthodontists.
- Services: SEO, AI search optimization, content, social media, paid search and digital advertising, lead generation, web design, branding, video, marketing automation, chatbots and sales enablement.
- CRM: a certified partner with HubSpot, Keap and SharpSpring that sets up, integrates and supports your CRM as part of every Growth Plan.
- HIPAA: its terms say it signs a Business Associate Agreement before accessing any practice system that holds patient health information.
- Pricing and contract: pricing not published; its terms set a 6- or 12-month initial term, then month-to-month with 30 days' notice.
Choose it over Growth99 if you want the same breadth (SEO, ads, automation, follow-up) but on a mainstream CRM you pick, rather than an agency's own platform.
Studio 3 Marketing: best for a large full-service team
Studio 3 was founded in 2011, lists its national HQ in Austin, Texas, and says it has 200+ U.S.-based employees with all work produced in-house.
- Services: branding, website design, photo and video, SEO, AI search optimization, Google and Meta advertising, email, social media, and patient acquisition coaching.
- Own software: LeadLoop, its lead-management software for attribution and pipeline, plus multi-location and content platform technology.
- Pricing and contract: not published.
- HIPAA: no BAA statement found on its site.
Choose it over Growth99 if you want brand, creative, content and ads handled by a large in-house team, and have the budget for an agency that size.
Med Spa Magic Marketing: best for paid-ads-led growth on a 3-month minimum
Med Spa Magic Marketing is based in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, and says it has served local businesses and medical offices since 2012.
- Services: Meta ads, Google Ads (from its second program tier), SEO, reels editing (you film, it edits up to 4 a month), a monthly SMS blast and email newsletter, and a HighLevel CRM included in all programs.
- Pricing (partly published): its terms list add-ons such as lead management at $1,495/month, an SEO starter at $3,495 one-time and review management at $195/month; core program prices aren't public.
- Contract (published): a 3-month minimum, then either side can end it with 30 days' written notice.
- If you leave: its terms say you keep final ad creative once invoices are paid, and custom integrations it built are removed.
Choose it over Growth99 if you want ad-driven growth with CRM follow-up but a much shorter commitment than a one-year term.
DoctorLogic: best for a HIPAA-ready website with SEO and reviews
DoctorLogic, now branded Yapi + DoctorLogic, describes itself as a patient acquisition platform for medical practices, with a med spa marketing page.
- Services: HIPAA-compliant website design with before-and-after galleries, SEO and local optimization, content marketing, Google Ads, reputation management and SmartAI tools.
- Pricing and contract: not published; its pricing link leads to a demo request form.
- HIPAA: publishes a Business Associate Agreement.
- Ads: its product list names Google Ads, not Meta ads.
Choose it over Growth99 if your main need is a compliant, well-built website that ranks, with reviews handled, and you don't need texting, social or Meta ads.
What's the difference between More Booked Consults and Growth99?
More Booked Consults
- Scope: landing pages, CRO, local SEO and managed Meta ads; no software, no Google Ads, no website rebuilds.
- Pricing: published: $2,500 to $5,000/month, or $3,000/month for managed ads plus setup.
- Minimum: 6 months (CRO, SEO), 3 months (ads).
- Focus: turning the traffic you already get into booked consults.
- Fits: practices with a CRM and booking tool they like and one clear gap.
Growth99
- Scope: its own CRM, automation, reviews and AI front desk, plus websites, SEO, Google and Meta ads.
- Pricing: plan inclusions published; prices on request.
- Minimum: one year, renewing automatically unless you give 60 days' notice.
- Focus: one vendor and one login for marketing and front-office tools.
- Fits: practices that want everything bundled and will use the software.
Growth99 is the better choice when you want your CRM, texting, review requests, website and Google Ads under one login and one vendor.
It's also the better choice if you'd rather not assemble separate tools, and a one-year term is fine for you.
If your gap is conversion, start with how your landing pages and site turn visitors into booked consults.
In our experience, Google clicks for med spa searches are very expensive and Meta ads get med spas better results, which is why we run Meta only (see SEO vs Google Ads).
Questions to ask any agency before you switch
Get these answered in writing before you sign anything new, whichever agency you pick.
- What are the exit terms: minimum term, renewal, notice period, and what's owed if we end early?
- Who owns the ad accounts, the website, the domain and the Google Business Profile, and are they in my name today?
- Will you sign a BAA, and how does your tracking avoid sending patient health data to ad platforms?
- Will your monthly report show booked consults by channel, not just leads and clicks?
- What happens to my landing pages, forms and automations if I leave: do I keep them, or do they live in your software?
- Can I export my contacts, lead history and reviews before I give notice?
Tracking pixels on lead forms can leak patient information, so read HIPAA and website tracking before any new agency installs tracking on your site.
What should a Growth99 alternative cost?
Most aesthetic agencies don't publish prices, so compare written quotes on the same terms: monthly fee, setup, ad spend, and minimum term.
Ask whether ad spend is marked up or charged as a percentage, and whether it's paid to the platform directly.
The med spa marketing cost guide breaks down typical line items, and our own prices are on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions
Is Growth99 worth it?
Growth99 is worth it for a practice that will actually use its software: CRM, email and SMS automation, review requests, forms, chatbot and the Gia AI front desk, all in one login alongside done-for-you marketing. It's a weaker fit if you only need one thing fixed (a site that doesn't convert, weak map-pack visibility, or Meta ads), want published prices before a sales call, or don't want a one-year term that renews automatically. We haven't audited Growth99's results, so judge it on a sample report and a written quote.
How much does Growth99 cost?
Growth99 doesn't publish prices. As of September 2026 its pricing page lists three plans (Essentials, Accelerator and Elite) with detailed inclusions, plus paid media tiers that manage up to $1,500, $3,500 or $8,000 a month in ad spend, but every price reads "Pricing available upon request." Ask for the monthly fee, the ad-spend arrangement and the term in writing.
What is the best alternative to Growth99?
It depends on why you're leaving. For conversion, local SEO and Meta ads with published pricing and no software to depend on, More Booked Consults. For an integrated agency that sets up a CRM and publishes BAA terms, Plastix Marketing. For a large full-service team with its own lead software, Studio 3 Marketing. For paid ads on a 3-month minimum, Med Spa Magic Marketing. For a HIPAA-ready website with SEO and reviews, DoctorLogic.
Does Growth99 require a contract?
Yes. Growth99's published terms (September 2026) describe a one-year term that renews automatically for another year unless either side gives notice at least 60 days before the term ends. The same terms say you can't downgrade during the initial term, and that if both sides agree to end early, 80% of the remaining service order fee is due. Its paid lead generation add-on can be cancelled with 30 days' written notice.
Who are Growth99's main competitors?
For aesthetic practices, the companies buyers most often compare with Growth99 are full-service aesthetic agencies such as Studio 3 Marketing, Plastix Marketing and Etna Interactive, platform-led vendors such as DoctorLogic, smaller paid-ads specialists such as Med Spa Magic Marketing, and focused operators such as More Booked Consults. The full field is compared on our best med spa marketing agencies list.
Can I keep my website and landing pages if I leave Growth99?
Growth99's terms say website deliverables named in your service order transfer to you once they're paid in full, while Growth99 keeps ownership of its templates, software tools and reusable code. The custom landing pages in its plans are described as pre-designed templates inside the Growth99 application. Its terms also say it's your responsibility to download your data before termination. Ask Growth99 exactly what you'll keep, in writing, before you give notice.
Does Growth99 sign a BAA?
Yes. Growth99 publishes a full Business Associate Agreement on its site, and its terms reference it. Plastix Marketing (for its hosting) and DoctorLogic also publish BAA terms; More Booked Consults doesn't publish a BAA.
