“We spent weeks going back and forth between SchedulingKit and SimplePractice. Both had trade-offs we weren't happy with. A colleague recommended SchedulingKit and it turned out to be the best fit — similar features at a fraction of the cost with a much simpler setup.”
Notre verdict
SimplePractice is the better choice for therapists who need clinical documentation, insurance billing, and telehealth all in one place — those features are genuinely excellent. But if your primary needs are scheduling, intake forms, and client management, SchedulingKit delivers those at a fraction of the cost with AI-powered booking that SimplePractice doesn't offer. Many practitioners who don't bill insurance or need SOAP notes find SchedulingKit is all they need.
Questions fréquentes
Can SchedulingKit replace SimplePractice for therapists?
It depends on your needs. If you rely on SimplePractice for SOAP notes, treatment plans, and insurance billing, you'll need those tools elsewhere. But if you primarily use SimplePractice for scheduling and intake, SchedulingKit handles that at a lower cost with AI booking features.
Does SimplePractice have AI booking features?
No. SimplePractice offers standard online booking but does not have an AI chatbot, AI receptionist, or smart scheduling features. SchedulingKit includes all of these.
Which is cheaper for a solo therapist?
SchedulingKit starts free, with paid plans from $12/seat/month ($10 annual). SimplePractice starts at $29/month (Starter) but most therapists need the Essential plan at $69/month for features like telehealth and insurance billing.
Can I use SchedulingKit alongside SimplePractice?
Yes. Some practitioners use SchedulingKit for client-facing booking and AI intake, while keeping SimplePractice for clinical documentation and billing. This hybrid approach can reduce costs if you're on SimplePractice's lower tier.
