What the pricing really means
At first glance, TheraPlatform looks cheaper at $39/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 TheraPlatform wins
- Telehealth is genuinely good. The whiteboard, screen sharing, and therapy app library make virtual sessions feel more interactive than a plain Zoom call
- 30-day free trial with no credit card. You can test the full platform with real clients before paying a cent
- Pricing starts at $39/month, which undercuts SimplePractice and TherapyNotes for solo therapists who just need the basics
- Built-in insurance billing with electronic claims, coverage verification, and superbills in all paid tiers
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 TheraPlatform falls short
- No native mobile app. You are stuck using the browser on your phone, which is clunky between sessions
- Customer support gets mixed reviews. Some users report slow responses and finger-pointing when things break
- No open API, so you cannot connect it to Zapier or other tools you might already use
- The interface looks dated compared to newer competitors like Upheal or SimplePractice
