Is SimplePractice Worth It at Your Calculated Cost?
At $100-120/month all-in for a solo therapist on Essential, SimplePractice competes against:
- TherapyNotes: ~$49/mo flat + clearinghouse. Saves $30-50/mo. Less polished UX, no client portal on same tier.
- Jane App: ~$74-99/mo + per-practitioner fees. Similar price range. Better for multi-discipline practices.
- TheraNest/Ensora: Starts ~$29/mo. Significantly cheaper. Older interface, less active development.
SimplePractice's premium is primarily the UX, the client-facing polish, and the integrated telehealth. If your practice values client experience and you see 15+ clients/week, the premium is typically justified.
