Honest comparison

Automated Practice vs ChiroCandy.

Two chiro-focused shops. Different promises, different product mix. Here's what's public, and where the jobs actually diverge.

ChiroCandy is a chiropractic marketing company founded in 2015. They sell ads (Facebook, Instagram, Google, TikTok), SEO, websites, reactivation, and a marketing app. Automated Practice has run patient acquisition for chiropractic, SoftWave, and med spa clinics since 2018. We run paid ads, funnels, automations, and a new patient platform, with proactive account management. This page sticks to public facts. We don't invent their management retainer, and we don't pretend we've sat in their Slack.

Choose Automated Practice when

  • You want ads through booked appointments, not a patient-count guarantee
  • You want funnels, automations, and a platform under one team that watches the numbers
  • You also run SoftWave, shockwave, or med spa services and need that offer psychology

Choose ChiroCandy when

  • You want a chiro-only vendor with a public 60-in-60 offer and you're comfortable with that model
  • You mainly want their app ($250/mo, cancel anytime) and will run more of the work yourself
  • You want their mix of ads plus SEO, websites, and reactivation as they package it
The honest take

Our verdict.

ChiroCandy is a chiro-specific ads and marketing vendor with a public patient-count offer and a $250/mo app. Automated Practice is a full acquisition system (ads, funnels, automations, platform, proactive management) without that guarantee. If the 60-in-60 pitch is what you're shopping for, that's them. If you want booked patients without a number we can't honestly lock, that's us.

Questions

Good to know.

They publicly advertise "60 Patients in 60 Days or You Do Not Pay," and they also say results aren't typical. We can't speak to how they define a patient, what spend is required, or what happens if the number is missed. Read their current terms. We don't run that offer.

Unknown from public pages. Their app is listed at $250/month with cancel-anytime language. Managed ads are priced by program and aren't published as one retainer. Our management is quoted after we see your market, with no setup fee. Compare the full stack, not a headline price.

No. Some practices use an app or a specialist for one channel and hire someone else for the rest. The risk is split ownership when a lead doesn't show. If you want one team on the hook from ad to booked appointment, pick the partner whose model matches that.
