The short answer

Pabau reports what happened in the clinic. Nabu takes each Pabau sale and subtracts provider pay, product, device time, room and card fees, so you can see which treatments are worth selling more of and which are quietly costing you.

Pabau alone may be enough if

  • Revenue and commission reports answer your questions
  • You have someone to build and read dashboards
  • You already track costs in a spreadsheet you trust

Your clinic database stays inside Nabu. AI models never see or access it. Patient records, contacts, charts and photos stay out of the AI context. Nabu calculates and checks the answer first; AI explains only the finished result. HIPAA compliant. BAAs are available for eligible customers.

Questions owners ask.

Is Nabu a Pabau alternative?

Not for running the clinic. Nabu works alongside Pabau: Pabau keeps your bookings, records and payments, and Nabu adds the financial intelligence and action on top.

Does Nabu replace Pabau?

No. Keep Pabau for booking, charting, payments and patient messaging. Nabu works from your Pabau reports and adds treatment profit, plain-English answers about the numbers and ranked profit leaks.

Pabau already reports on profitability. What does Nabu add?

Pabau's reports point to which services are most profitable. Nabu goes a level deeper: it costs every treatment with provider pay, product, device time, room and card fees, then shows profit by provider, room, device and membership, with break-even and a forecast.

Is Pabau Insights Plus enough?

Insights Plus adds live dashboards and lets you send Pabau data to tools like Power BI. It is a good fit if you have someone to build and read those reports. Nabu comes with the med spa profit math, the answers and the follow-through already built.

Pabau has AI agents now. How is Nabu different?

Pabau's agents handle clinic work such as calls, invoice follow-ups, reviews and lost leads. Nabu's AI works on the money: what each treatment made, why a month dropped, and which profit leak to fix first, with every figure worked out from your own numbers.

How does Nabu get my Pabau data?

Export your sales, appointment and staff reports from Pabau and upload them into Nabu's spreadsheet templates, or enter the numbers with our team. Your team keeps working in Pabau as it does now.

Can I keep Insights Plus and add Nabu?

Yes. They do different jobs. Insights Plus reports what happened in Pabau. Nabu shows what it earned and what to do about it.
