Cons
  • Pricing and usage limits should be checked against the exact plan
  • Implementation effort depends on the team's data and process maturity
  • Reported outcomes should be validated with the buyer's own data
  • Per-clinician cost adds up
  • per-clinician pricing scales awkwardly for larger groups, and Starter feels thin.
  • Choose it if: you're a solo or small-group health practitioner.
  • Compare TherapyNotes if billing depth matters more than the polished front-end.
