Our Verdict
SimplePractice is priced for therapists who use the full clinical suite, documentation, insurance billing, and telehealth. At $69-99/month, it's reasonable if you use all those features. But many practitioners discover they're paying $69/month primarily for scheduling and intake forms, which SchedulingKit provides starting free. If you don't bill insurance or need SOAP notes, you could save $57-87/month by switching to SchedulingKit.
