What the pricing really means
At first glance, PsyPack looks cheaper at $0/month vs $125/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 Alma wins
- Flat $125/mo includes insurance credentialing that normally takes months and costs thousands
- Built-in referral network sends clients directly to your profile
- AI Note Assist for session recording and transcription
- Handles both insurance and out-of-pocket billing in one place
Where PsyPack wins
- 100+ validated psychometric assessments with instant scoring
- Free tier is genuinely usable at 3 assessments/mo with unlimited clients
- Automated weekly assessment reminders to track client progress over time
- Cheapest outcome tracking tool at $17/user/mo on the Professional plan
Where Alma falls short
- Must credential with Aetna, Cigna, or Optum — no flexibility to pick other panels
- No group practice support (individual memberships only)
- No mobile app, web-based only
- 3.6 Capterra rating with only 26 reviews is concerning
Where PsyPack falls short
- Not a practice management platform — handles assessments and nothing else
- Only 12 Capterra reviews total, not listed on G2
- No scheduling, billing, notes, or client portal
- Enterprise plan required for API access
