Doctolib
In short
In 30 seconds.
Doctolib fits if …
your practice runs on Doctolib anyway, the assistant should recognise existing patients and file prescription requests into the practice software, and the Patientenmanagement package adds up for you.
terminio.ai fits if …
you mainly hand out appointments, need no practice software, want no annual term, and the assistant should book into the same calendar as your online bookings.
The biggest difference
A module of the practice software versus a package of its own. According to third-party sources from €229 per practitioner on an annual term, versus €129.99 a month for the whole practice, cancel monthly.
Features
Point by point.
Eleven rows that count for a phone assistant: does it book, is the number included, how many minutes, what does it need around it. Whatever Doctolib does not say publicly stays a question mark and never counts as a no.

HonestlyWhere Doctolib is stronger.
Where Doctolib is stronger.
Where terminio is.
Doctolib
- Recognises existing patients and works with the patient record, because it sits inside the practice software.
- Takes prescription and referral requests and files them where the team handles them.
- Practice management, the Doctolib directory and the phone from one vendor, data centres in Germany and France.
terminio.ai
- One price for the whole practice, not per practitioner; cancel monthly, no setup fee.
- Number and 200 minutes are in the price; Doctolib's website says nothing about either.
- Set up yourself in ten minutes: forward calls, choose a greeting, make a test call. Books into the same calendar as the booking page and WhatsApp.
For whom
Typical in these practices.
Doctolib's phone assistant is built for medical and dental practices. terminio.ai answers where appointments are what the call is about; every kind of practice has a page of its own about the phone assistant.
SwitchingFrom the Doctolib assistant
From the Doctolib assistant
to terminio in three steps.
- 01
Set up services and hours
Tap your kind of practice, check the services and their durations, set your hours. From then on the assistant knows only what you entered and says nothing else.
- 02
Number and forwarding
terminio gives you a German phone number. You forward: always, only when nobody picks up, or outside hours. Your practice number stays.
- 03
Greeting, voice, test call
Write the greeting, choose a voice, call yourself. Doctolib runs in parallel until its term ends; in terminio you block what it hands out.
