About

Keap, formerly known as Infusionsoft, is an all-in-one CRM and marketing-automation platform built for small and growing service businesses. It pairs a contact database and sales pipeline with one of the more capable email and SMS automation engines in the SMB tier, plus appointment scheduling, invoicing, landing pages, and a visual workflow builder. For a med spa, the appeal is nurture: turning a captured lead into a booked consult through automated, multi-step email and text sequences that run without staff babysitting.

Like most horizontal CRMs, Keap is not designed specifically for medical aesthetics, so treatment plans and clinical follow-up are modeled through generic contacts, tags, and workflows rather than built-in concepts. It is best understood as a strong nurture-and-automation layer for the top and middle of a med spa's funnel, often paired with a dedicated scheduling or practice-management system for clinical operations. Keap has consolidated toward a unified platform starting around $249/month (billed annually) that includes its full feature set, with costs scaling by users and contacts; implementation and SMS volume can add to that.

Ideal customer

Solo and small-group med spas that want strong, automated email and SMS lead nurture and pipeline management in one SMB-friendly CRM, and are comfortable configuring a general-purpose tool for aesthetics.

Our Keap review

Where Keap fits

Keap — the platform many still know by its old name, Infusionsoft — is an all-in-one CRM built for small service businesses, and its center of gravity is automation. If your med spa's CRM problem is less about clinical records and more about consistently nurturing leads into booked consults, Keap is squarely in that lane. It combines a contact database, sales pipeline, scheduling, and invoicing with a genuinely capable email and SMS drip engine.

As with other horizontal CRMs, Keap is not built for medical aesthetics. There is no native concept of a treatment plan or clinical follow-up; you build those with tags, fields, and workflows. The most realistic deployment for a med spa is as a nurture-and-automation layer for the top and middle of the funnel, frequently paired with a dedicated scheduler or practice-management system for clinical operations.

What stands out

  • Automation depth. For the SMB tier, Keap's visual builder and multi-step email/SMS sequences are a real strength — set up a follow-up flow once and it runs on every new lead.
  • All-in-one. CRM, marketing, scheduling, and invoicing live together, so a small spa can consolidate several tools into one subscription.
  • Hands-off follow-up. This is where Keap earns its keep: automated, behavior-triggered nurture that keeps prospects warm without staff effort.
  • Pedigree. It is a long-established automation platform, and it holds roughly 4.1/5 on Capterra across about 1,300 reviews and around 4.2/5 on G2.

Where it falls short

  • Not aesthetics-specific. You will configure a general-purpose CRM to fit a med spa, not adopt one already shaped for it.
  • Learning curve. Keap's power comes with complexity; reviewers consistently note it takes effort to set up and master, more so than lighter SMB CRMs.
  • Cost scales. The platform starts around $249/month (annual) for two users, but additional users (~$39 each), higher contact tiers, and SMS volume push it up — and implementation is often required.
  • Middle-of-the-pack scores. Its review ratings sit below the category's top med-spa-focused tools, reflecting that fit-and-friction gap.

Who should choose it

Choose Keap if you are a solo or small-group med spa whose priority is automated email and SMS nurture plus a simple pipeline, and you are comfortable investing time to configure a general-purpose CRM. It rewards businesses that will actually use its automation depth. If you want software that understands consults and treatments out of the box, or you need the lightest-touch tool possible, a purpose-built aesthetics platform will fit more naturally.
