What the pricing really means
At first glance, Sessions Health looks cheaper at $0/month vs $130/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where AdvancedMD wins
- NOW plan at $130/mo specifically targets small mental health practices, capped at 3 providers
- 300+ customizable documentation templates
- Clearinghouse connects to 1,800+ insurance carriers
- Actual 30-day free trial available on the mental health plan
Where Sessions Health wins
- Free tier with up to 3 active clients lets you test the entire platform with real workflows before paying anything
- Capterra rating of 4.9 across 113 reviews is the highest in the behavioral health EHR category, with 98% positive sentiment
- Customer support gets constant praise in reviews for fast responses and actually listening to feature requests
- At $39/mo for the first practitioner and $29/mo for each additional, it undercuts SimplePractice and TherapyNotes significantly
- Unlimited admin staff included at no extra charge, which matters for growing group practices
Where AdvancedMD falls short
- Full EHR+PM bundle at $729/provider/mo is prohibitively expensive for small practices
- 3.6 ratings on both G2 and Capterra are the lowest in this category
- Automated reminders cost extra on top of already high monthly prices
- API access is an add-on, not included in standard plans
Where Sessions Health falls short
- No native mobile app, so you are using a browser on your phone which is workable but not ideal between sessions
- Telehealth is a $10/mo add-on per practitioner, while competitors like Blueprint include it in the base price
- No e-prescribing support, so psychiatrists or prescribers need a separate tool
- Smaller review count (113) compared to SimplePractice (2,900+) means less community knowledge and fewer third-party guides
