The app

Where do clients see their points?

In an app on their phone. On every plan that is the Velarya app on the App Store and Google Play, styled in your colors and opening straight into your practice, where clients see their points, their wallet credit and their next booking. On the Branded and Connected plans it is your own app, listed under your practice's name and published under your own Apple developer account.

What Perkville says

Perkville's documentation says that instead of a standalone app it provides a responsive web experience, with links from a business's own app, integrations with select partner apps and an API for custom apps.

Booking and memberships

Where do memberships and bookings live?

In Velarya, in the same app as the points. Clients book on Velarya's own calendar, buy a membership with monthly credit, an included treatment and member pricing, and redeem their rewards, all in one place. Happy with your scheduler? Switch Velarya booking off and keep it.

What Perkville says

Perkville's documentation says membership status comes from the business's connected membership or point-of-sale system, which Perkville syncs to award points for joining, anniversaries and upgrades.

Patient data

Can the program hold patient data?

Yes. A loyalty program knows who your patients are and what they buy, so it holds patient data. Velarya signs a Business Associate Agreement with every practice, on every plan, and the details are on our security page.

What Perkville says

Perkville's Master Subscription Agreement of May 5, 2026 defines sensitive personal information to include health information and data protected by HIPAA, and restricts processing it through the service, with an exception for loyalty use in tracking medical spa appointments.

Switching

Moving from Perkville

There is no setup fee on any plan, and you can keep your EMR. Here is who does what.

  1. Check your agreement term. Perkville's month-to-month plans end by email to its support team, and under its Master Subscription Agreement ending a 1, 2 or 3-year term early carries the monthly fees for the months that remain.

  2. See your program in a demo, with your practice’s branding in the app.

  3. We set up the program with you, and on Branded and Connected we build your own app and publish it under your Apple developer account.

  4. Keep your EMR and your scheduler, or move booking into the app. The chart stays where it is.

Frequently asked questions

Is Velarya a Perkville alternative?

Yes. Both reward points and referrals and both publish their prices. Velarya puts the program in an app on the App Store and Google Play, with booking, memberships and payments to your own Stripe account in the same app, and signs a BAA with every practice.

Does Perkville have an app?

Perkville's documentation says it provides a responsive web experience instead of a standalone app, with links from a business's own app and integrations with select partner apps. Velarya's clients use the Velarya app in your colors, or your own app on the Branded and Connected plans.

How much does Perkville cost?

Perkville publishes per-location monthly tiers in its documentation, set by the number of customers per location, with discounts for more locations and longer terms. Velarya publishes its plans on its pricing page, priced per location, with no setup fee.

Can clients book appointments in the same app?

In Velarya, yes: on Velarya's own calendar, in the same app where they earn and redeem. If you would rather keep your current scheduler, switch Velarya booking off. Perkville runs beside the booking or point-of-sale system a business already uses.

Does Velarya sign a BAA?

Yes, with every practice on every plan, because a loyalty program holds patient data. Perkville's Master Subscription Agreement of May 5, 2026 restricts health information in its service, with an exception for loyalty use in tracking medical spa appointments.

Do we have to replace our booking system?

No. Velarya runs beside the software you already use. Switch Velarya booking off and the app carries the points, check-ins, referrals and memberships while clients book with you the way they do today.
