European Alternatives to Zocdoc
Looking for a European alternative to Zocdoc? Zocdoc is a US online doctor booking marketplace, and its own pages returned an access block (HTTP 403) when we checked on 4 November 2026, so we quote no terms, prices or entity data from them. Zocdoc is built around the US healthcare system, which is why users in Europe look for a platform tied to their own country.
The European platforms below publish their operator and country in the imprint, cover doctor search, booking, video visits and practice software, and several let patients book without an account fee.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects which tools are listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways
- Zocdoc is a United States doctor booking marketplace, and its own pages returned HTTP 403 when we checked on 4 November 2026, so this page quotes none of its terms or prices.
- Twelve European platforms replace different parts of Zocdoc: directories (Doctoralia, Jameda, ZnanyLekarz, MioDottore, Arzttermine.de), practice software (Doctena, samedi, Doctolib) and care providers (Kry, Dr.Dropin, Min Doktor, Doktor.se).
- Doctena is the only platform here that publishes monthly plan prices for practices, starting at 29 EUR for Basic.
- Doctoralia, Jameda, ZnanyLekarz and MioDottore run on one shared Docplanner platform decided jointly by Doctoralia Internet S.L. and ZnanyLekarz, so choosing between them is mostly choosing a country.
- None of the twelve European platforms states its hosting location on the pages we read, so ask each vendor for it in writing.
Why people leave Zocdoc
Zocdoc is a United States online marketplace where patients look for a doctor and book a visit. It is built around the American healthcare system, and that is the plainest reason a patient or a practice in Europe starts looking elsewhere: the health system, the language and the legal framework behind the booking button are not European ones.
We could not read Zocdoc's own terms or privacy policy for this page. Every Zocdoc page we requested on 4 November 2026 answered with an access block (HTTP 403), so we say nothing here about its fees, its data handling or its contracts. That gap is itself useful: a European buyer should read those documents directly before relying on any US platform for appointment data.
Appointment data is special category data under the GDPR, because the fact that someone sees a dermatologist, a psychiatrist or a gynaecologist can disclose a condition without a single clinical note. A European practice or patient who wants the whole chain, from directory to calendar to video room, under European law has a dozen options, and they differ more by country than by feature.
- The marketplace is shaped by the US health system Zocdoc is described as a US doctor booking marketplace, and a marketplace is only as useful as the doctors listed in your own country. A patient in Madrid, Munich or Milan needs a directory of local doctors in the local language, and the European platforms below are organised exactly that way: Doctoralia for Spain, Jameda and Arzttermine.de for Germany, MioDottore for Italy, ZnanyLekarz for Poland.
- Its own pages could not be read for this comparison All Zocdoc pages returned an access block when we checked on 4 November 2026, so we cannot quote its contract entity, its hosting or its pricing. By contrast, the European operators on this page publish an imprint: Jameda names a register entry in Munich, MioDottore a VAT number in Rome, samedi a register number in Berlin. Verifiable operator data is a reason in its own right.
- European practices need more than a listing A booking marketplace puts a practice in front of patients, but the calendar, reminders, patient forms and video visits still need a system. European products in this group bundle those: Doctolib adds practice management and records, Doctena sells an online agenda at published monthly prices, and samedi configures scheduling for practices, MVZs and hospitals. Buyers weighing Zocdoc as a pure marketplace often find that this is the bigger purchase.
- Some European patients want care, not a directory In Sweden and Norway the useful product is often the care provider itself. Kry, Min Doktor, Doktor.se and Dr.Dropin register patients, hold the records and employ the clinicians, with BankID login in the Swedish apps. A directory model in the Zocdoc mould does not describe how a Stockholm resident reaches a nurse by video at midday.
What you have to replace, not just match
Zocdoc does one visible job, putting a patient in front of a bookable doctor, and a European replacement has to be chosen by country first. Doctoralia, Jameda, ZnanyLekarz and MioDottore cover Spain, Germany, Poland and Italy and share one platform behind national brands. Arzttermine.de is a second German directory and Doctolib spans France, Germany and Italy.
If the incumbent was used for the practice side, you replace a calendar and a patient flow rather than a listing. Doctena, samedi and Doctolib sell software to the practice, with reminders, forms and video visits. If it was used by a patient, the replacement may be a care provider such as Kry or Dr.Dropin, where the booking is the start of a visit with the same company.
What cannot be moved is the patient history inside a US account. Ask the practice for its own records and keep appointment confirmations you want to retain, because nobody on this page can import another platform's booking history for you.

How each alternative compares to Zocdoc
Best for: Practices in France, Germany or Italy that want to be found and to run the agenda in one system
Doctolib is a Paris company that sells booking and practice management together. Against Zocdoc, the notable difference is on the practice side: schedules for practitioners and rooms, patient records and documents, reminders, video consultations and secure messaging between practices all sit in the same subscription. Doctolib describes tens of millions of patients in France, Germany and Italy.
Pricing is a per-practitioner monthly subscription, and the site states that patient-facing booking is included rather than charged as a fee per appointment. Doctolib says it hosts health data with certified health data hosting providers in Europe. The weak spot is dependence: once patients book through the platform, leaving it means rebuilding how patients find you.
What Doctolib does better than Zocdoc
- Combines directory, calendar, records and video visits in one subscription
- French company under EU jurisdiction with health data hosting stated as certified
- No per-appointment fee for patient bookings, according to the site
- Active patient base in three large European countries
Where Doctolib is a step down from Zocdoc
- Network value depends on which country the practice is in
- Healthcare only, so it replaces nothing outside medicine
- Per-practitioner pricing grows with every doctor you add
- Switching away later means rebuilding patient discovery
Standout against Zocdoc. Doctolib is the only platform here that gives a practice both an established patient network and the software to run the day.
Best for: Practices in Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria or Switzerland that want a priced agenda
Doctena S.A. is registered in Luxembourg as RCS B176487 and runs local entities in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, each with its own terms. A practice gets an Online Agenda, patient database, email confirmations and reminders. Smart adds visibility on Doctena's portals and free SMS for patients who book; Premium adds EMR synchronisation, multiple locations and video with online payment.
Against Zocdoc, Doctena is easier to evaluate: Basic is 29 EUR a month, Smart 45 EUR and Premium 69 EUR, with a lower figure shown beside each that the page does not explain. ISO 27001 is stated and the data protection officer is WS Digital Compliance GmbH in Berlin. Hosting is not stated, and patient search depends on how many local practices have joined.
What Doctena does better than Zocdoc
- Publishes plan prices, where a US marketplace sells visibility privately
- Names its register number, address and data protection officer
- States ISO 27001 and offers contract pages in four languages
- Operates in six countries, so a cross-border practice stays on one vendor
Where Doctena is a step down from Zocdoc
- Patient directory is thinner than a national marketplace in most countries
- Each plan shows two prices without saying which applies
- EMR sync and video payments sit on the top plan only
- Hosting location is not given on the pages read
Standout against Zocdoc. Doctena is the one platform here where a practice can read the monthly price before talking to anyone.
Doctoralia
the Spanish directory with a free profile and a stated listing of 190,000 professionals
Best for: Patients in Spain, and specialists who want a listing on a large national directory
Doctoralia Internet SL operates the Spanish site from an address in Barcelona. A patient searches by specialty, illness or name and can switch between in-person and online visits; the site also carries Ask the Expert, pages on medicines and diseases, and a mobile app. The home page states 190,000 professionals, a figure we have not verified.
The comparison with Zocdoc is closest here, since Doctoralia is also a directory first. Professionals activate a free profile, and paid services sit on a Prices page we did not read. A separate page explains how results are ordered, which is worth reading before assuming a free profile ranks well. Hosting is not stated, and the group owner is not named.
What Doctoralia does better than Zocdoc
- Names a Spanish operator with a street address in Barcelona
- Free professional profile, so listing costs nothing to try
- Explains on a dedicated page how search results are ordered
- Spanish-language interface for Spanish patients and doctors
Where Doctoralia is a step down from Zocdoc
- Paid professional prices were not read, so the cost of visibility is unknown
- Shares one platform with Jameda, ZnanyLekarz and MioDottore
- Hosting location is not stated on the pages read
- Useful mainly inside Spain
Standout against Zocdoc. Doctoralia is the most direct Zocdoc-style directory for Spain, with a free profile for any professional.
Best for: Patients in Germany who choose a doctor by reviews, and practices that want visibility
Jameda GmbH is entered at the Amtsgericht Munich as HRB 168659, with Brienner Strasse 45 a-d in Munich as its address and a named managing director. The imprint states it is a 100 percent subsidiary of the DocPlanner Group. Patients search by specialty, condition or name, read feedback, then pick an on-site appointment or a video consultation; the home page states 1 million bookable appointments.
Against Zocdoc, the useful comparison is how reviews and paid visibility interact, which is a question to put to Jameda's sales team: doctors register for free, while premium solutions have a price list we did not read. Separate privacy texts exist for patients, customers and practitioners, last updated 1 October 2026. Hosting is not stated.
What Jameda does better than Zocdoc
- Full imprint with register number and managing director, in German law
- Reviews and booking appear in one search
- Offers on-site and video appointments
- Separate privacy texts for patients, customers and practitioners
Where Jameda is a step down from Zocdoc
- Premium prices were not read
- Hosting location is not stated on the pages read
- Shares its technical platform with Doctoralia and ZnanyLekarz
- Germany only, and no practice calendar of its own
Standout against Zocdoc. Jameda is the only German portal here that puts doctor reviews and appointment booking in the same search.
Best for: Patients in Poland who book a doctor by specialty and city
ZnanyLekarz Sp. z o.o. is named in the footer as the operator, but we read only the home page, so the street address and register number are missing. The home page states 240,000 doctors and has separate tabs for in-practice and online visits, plus quick links by specialty in Krakow, Warsaw, Wroclaw and Poznan.
The comparison with Zocdoc is therefore about shape rather than detail. Professionals can open a free profile, a prices page called Cennik exists but was not read, and there are separate pages for doctors and for medical facilities. The interface and legal pages are Polish. Hosting, terms and the group owner remain open until a buyer asks.
What ZnanyLekarz does better than Zocdoc
- Polish-language directory for Polish patients and doctors
- Stated listing of 240,000 doctors, the largest figure on this page
- Online and in-practice visits are separate search tabs
- Free profile for professionals
Where ZnanyLekarz is a step down from Zocdoc
- Only one page was read, so address and register number are unconfirmed
- Interface and legal pages are in Polish only
- Hosting and prices are not shown on the page read
- Same platform as Doctoralia, with the owner not named
Standout against Zocdoc. ZnanyLekarz states the biggest directory on this page, 240,000 doctors, and it is the Polish-language answer to Zocdoc.
Best for: Patients in Italy who search by specialty and city
MioDottore is operated by Docplanner Italy S.r.l., Piazzale delle Belle Arti 2 in Rome, and the footer gives its VAT and tax code. The patient privacy notice has applied since 15 July 2026 and names the company as controller. A patient searches by specialty, service or facility in a city and books online, and an Ask the Doctor section is linked.
For professionals the offer has free registration, a Prezzi page we did not read, separate solutions for specialists and medical centres, and HireDoc, a recruitment tool for facilities. Compared with Zocdoc, it is a local directory with an Italian controller on record. The platform decisions are shared with Doctoralia and ZnanyLekarz, and hosting is not stated.
What MioDottore does better than Zocdoc
- Names an Italian controller with address and VAT number
- Privacy notice is dated and current as of July 2026
- Offers HireDoc for facilities that need to recruit
- Italian-language search across a broad list of specialties
Where MioDottore is a step down from Zocdoc
- Prices were not read
- Hosting location is not stated
- Italian only, and Italy only
- Little that differs from Doctoralia and Jameda apart from the country
Standout against Zocdoc. MioDottore is the Italian entry here, and the only one whose footer carries a VAT number we could copy.
Best for: Residents of Sweden who want one app for video visits, mental health support and a local care centre
Kry presents itself as a registered healthcare provider, not a booking layer. The privacy policy names Kry International AB (publ) and Kry Primarvard AB at Torsgatan 21 in Stockholm. Patients log in with BankID, describe what they need and are called in the app, often within minutes according to the site. Doctors, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists and dietitians are available, and care is offered in 24 languages.
Against Zocdoc, the model is different: there is no directory of competing doctors, since the clinician belongs to Kry. Records link to earlier visits and to the national patient overview. Fees follow the region where you are registered, with SEK 275 for a doctor visit in the default table, and children's visits are free. It needs Swedish registration, and hosting is not stated.
What Kry does better than Zocdoc
- One app covers doctors, nurses, psychologists and physiotherapists
- Linked records across digital and physical visits
- Fee is shown in the app before the visit is confirmed
- Care centres for cases that need an examination
Where Kry is a step down from Zocdoc
- Requires Swedish registration and BankID, so it is useless outside Sweden
- No choice between independent doctors
- Ear complaints, suspected fractures and some infections need a physical visit
- Hosting location is not stated on the pages checked
Standout against Zocdoc. Kry is the only platform here that puts a psychologist and a physiotherapist in the same app as a GP-style visit.
Best for: Patients in Germany who want a free booking portal, especially for dental visits
Arzttermine.de is run by aerzte.de MediService GmbH & Co. KG in Nuremberg, registered at the Amtsgericht Nuremberg as HRA 17217, with a general partner under HRB 16682. A patient picks a specialty, a place and a radius of 5, 10 or 50 km, then statutory or private insurance and a reason for the visit. Dental reasons include acute toothache, fillings, root canal treatment and implant consultation.
The comparison with Zocdoc is close on the patient side, since the portal states that booking is free of charge. On the practice side, a free basic entry exists and the offer comes after a free consultation. The imprint says data may be used within the company family by Sellwerk GmbH, and practice prices and hosting are not published.
What Arzttermine.de does better than Zocdoc
- Booking is stated as free of charge for patients
- Filters by statutory or private insurance and by visit reason
- Full imprint with partnership and general partner register numbers
- Pages available in German and English
Where Arzttermine.de is a step down from Zocdoc
- Practice prices are not published
- The imprint refers to data use inside a company family with Sellwerk GmbH
- It is a directory, not practice software
- Germany only, and hosting is not shown
Standout against Zocdoc. Arzttermine.de lets a patient filter by statutory or private insurance and by dental visit reason before choosing a time.
Best for: Practices, MVZs, clinics and hospitals in Germany that need configurable scheduling
samedi GmbH, Rigaer Strasse 44 in Berlin, is entered as HRB 112862 and names its authorised representatives in the imprint. Its home page describes software with more than 80 features, a vendor figure, for practices, MVZs, clinics, rehab clinics and pharmacies: online booking, a calendar, a phone assistant, video consultation, digital patient forms and a patient portal. Modules are chosen with the vendor for each organisation.
Against Zocdoc, samedi is the opposite kind of product: a tool a practice buys and controls, with no patient directory. The terms mention access via samedi.de, a third-party platform such as KV Safenet or an on-premise solution, and the company is financed by software fees from medical professionals. Prices come by quote, which makes it harder to compare than Doctena.
What samedi does better than Zocdoc
- Practice keeps control of its own calendar and booking rules
- Modules cover hospitals as well as single practices
- On-premise route is mentioned in the terms
- Financed by software fees, according to the imprint, not by selling patient access
Where samedi is a step down from Zocdoc
- No patient marketplace, so it will not bring in new patients
- No published prices, only a quote on request
- Hosting was not read in detail
- Pages are mainly in German
Standout against Zocdoc. samedi is the only product here that a hospital can run on-premise, according to its terms.
Best for: Patients in Norway who want a private clinic visit booked online
Dr.Dropin AS is an Oslo healthcare company, Sorkedalsveien 8, organisation number 919 149 795, and the about page states more than 400 colleagues with Norwegian authorisation. Patients see free times for general practitioners and specialists in dermatology, gynaecology, paediatrics, ENT and eye care, psychology and psychiatry, plus a musculoskeletal centre. Digital services include a video doctor, prescriptions and home tests.
Unlike Zocdoc, Dr.Dropin is the provider: the clinic, the doctors and the booking belong to one company, so a patient cannot compare competing doctors. The site promises fixed prices and short waiting times, and the company also sells occupational health, flu vaccines and courses to businesses. Terms, privacy text, hosting and price lists were not read.
What Dr.Dropin does better than Zocdoc
- One company is responsible for the booking and the visit
- Fixed prices are promised on the site
- Physical clinics and digital services under one name
- Organisation number and address are published
Where Dr.Dropin is a step down from Zocdoc
- Own clinics only, with no choice between independent doctors
- Norway only, and outside the EU in the EEA
- Terms and privacy text were not read
- Price lists and hosting are not confirmed
Standout against Zocdoc. Dr.Dropin is the only Norwegian provider here, and it books visits at its own clinics rather than listing other doctors.
Best for: Swedish residents who prefer to write their case down and get a message reply instead of a live call
Min Doktor works through a form: you pick a category, log in with BankID, answer the questions and send the case, and the doctor replies in a chat that you are notified about by email. The privacy policy names MD International AB, organisation number 556934-0580, in Malmo. The site quotes more than 5 million patient visits and 95% satisfaction, both vendor figures.
Against Zocdoc, there is no appointment slot to hunt for. Psychologists, midwives, physiotherapists, sexologists, dietitians and nurses sit beside the doctors, children from six months are accepted, and prescribed medicine can be sent home through Apotek Hjartat. The cost is speed in urgent cases, and no fee is quoted on the pages checked.
What Min Doktor does better than Zocdoc
- No time slot to find; the case is sent whenever it suits the patient
- Medicine can be delivered through a named pharmacy partner
- Children from six months are accepted for digital care
- Vaccination clinics and care centres sit under the same brand
Where Min Doktor is a step down from Zocdoc
- Written replies are slower than a live call when something is urgent
- Requires a Swedish personal number and BankID
- Examinations and samples need a physical step
- No fee is quoted on the pages checked
Standout against Zocdoc. Min Doktor is the only service here built around a written case first, with the reply arriving as a chat.
Best for: Swedish residents who want same-day app contact and a care centre to register with under the same brand
Doktor.se promises help by chat or video within about 30 minutes and a care centre appointment mostly within 24 hours. The privacy policy names Doktorse Nordic AB, org. nr 559058-0089, as the company behind the app. The site counts more than 10 million care meetings, a vendor figure, and lists 27 primary care centres plus vaccination points at more than 100 locations.
Against Zocdoc, the platform is a provider rather than a directory. The privacy text separates the app operator from the care provider: some asynchronous cases go to Kollarna.se, run by Doktor 24 Healthcare AB, with Doktorse Nordic as processor. So the responsible entity can differ by visit. Fees depend on region and age group, and the price table did not render in our check.
What Doktor.se does better than Zocdoc
- Quick help every day without booking a time
- Can register with one of 27 care centres under the same brand
- English version of the site is available
- Privacy policy names the company and org. nr clearly
Where Doktor.se is a step down from Zocdoc
- Only for patients registered in Swedish regions
- Some cases are handled by a separate provider, Kollarna.se
- Fee table did not render server-side in our check
- Hosting location is not stated
Standout against Zocdoc. Doktor.se is the only platform here that pairs a 30-minute app contact with 27 registerable care centres.
What actually breaks when you switch
Moving from one platform to another rarely moves the patients. A directory listing is rebuilt from scratch: new profile, new photos, new opening hours, and reviews that stay behind on the old platform. A practice that depends on a marketplace for new patients should keep both running for a few months and compare where bookings really arrive from.
The calendar is the harder part. Ask the new vendor how existing appointments are imported, whether recurring slots survive, and whether reminders by SMS or email carry over. For Doctena, SMS for booking patients is included from the Smart plan; for samedi, modules are configured with the vendor, so allow time for setup. Check what each vendor will give you back on exit: appointment history, patient database and documents.
Which European platform is closest to Zocdoc for a patient?
It depends on the country, because a patient directory is only useful with local doctors in it. In Germany that means Jameda, where reviews sit beside booking, or Arzttermine.de, which states that booking is free and filters by statutory or private insurance. In Spain it is Doctoralia, in Poland ZnanyLekarz, in Italy MioDottore.
Doctolib is the nearest thing to a cross-border answer. It describes tens of millions of patients in France, Germany and Italy, and a patient who already holds an account can book from the same app in each country. None of the twelve platforms covers all of Europe, and none of them is a copy of Zocdoc.
What should a practice ask a European vendor before it replaces a US marketplace?
Ask where the data is hosted, because none of the twelve states it on the pages we read. Doctena points to a sub-processor list in its Trust Center, which we did not read, and samedi mentions a certified data protection page. Ask also for the processing agreement under Article 28 of the GDPR and the name of the data protection officer.
Then ask what the free listing hides. Doctoralia, Jameda, ZnanyLekarz and MioDottore offer free professional registration but publish paid services on price pages we did not read. Arzttermine.de describes a free basic entry and gives its practice offer on request. Compare the paid tier on the day you sign, not the free one.
Which one to pick
Pick by country and by role. A German patient looking for a doctor with reviews will find Jameda or Arzttermine.de closer to a marketplace; a Spanish, Polish or Italian patient will use Doctoralia, ZnanyLekarz or MioDottore. A practice that wants patients and software together should start with Doctolib or Doctena, and a hospital or MVZ that wants control of its own scheduling should ask samedi for a quote.
Residents of Sweden and Norway are better served by the care providers: Kry for several clinician types in one app, Doktor.se for fast contact and care centres, Min Doktor for written cases, Dr.Dropin for private clinic visits in Norway. Whichever you choose, ask for the hosting location in writing, since none of the twelve states it on the pages we read, and read Zocdoc's own terms first if you currently use it.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no single answer, because the choice depends on country and on which side you sit. Doctolib suits practices in France, Germany and Italy that want booking plus practice management. Doctena offers published monthly plans in six countries. Jameda, Doctoralia, ZnanyLekarz and MioDottore fit patients in Germany, Spain, Poland and Italy, and Kry fits residents of Sweden.
We could not confirm it. Zocdoc is a US marketplace built around the American healthcare system, and every Zocdoc page returned HTTP 403 on 4 November 2026, so we cannot quote its coverage or terms. For a European doctor, the practical test is whether the platform lists doctors in your country and publishes its operator.
Arzttermine.de states that booking is free of charge for patients, and Doctoralia, Jameda, ZnanyLekarz and MioDottore let professionals register for free. Kry sets a patient fee by Swedish region, with SEK 275 shown for a doctor visit in its default table and children's visits free. Doktor.se applies regional fees and a free-care card to digital visits.
Yes. samedi sells scheduling software on a quote basis to practices, MVZs, clinics and hospitals, and it is not a patient directory. Doctena sells an online agenda from 29 EUR a month for Basic. Doctolib combines both in a per-practitioner monthly subscription, so you get the network and the software together.
Yes. Doctolib, Doctena (Premium plan), Jameda, samedi and the four care providers Kry, Dr.Dropin, Doktor.se and Min Doktor offer video or chat contact. The care providers matter most if you want to see a clinician today, since Doktor.se promises chat or video help in about 30 minutes, according to its own site.
