What the pricing really means
At first glance, Carepatron looks cheaper at $0/month vs $19/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 BreezyNotes wins
- Built specifically for Canadian therapists with Canadian billing codes and insurance workflows, which US-based EHRs typically do not support
- Pay-per-note pricing starts at $19/mo and scales with volume, so quiet months cost less instead of a flat fee you pay regardless
- Pricing is per practice, not per therapist, so adding clinicians does not multiply your monthly bill
- Customer support is consistently praised in reviews for being responsive and treating practices like partners, not ticket numbers
Where Carepatron wins
- Free tier includes telehealth, client portal, AI scribe, and unlimited clients, which is genuinely usable for a starting practice
- Over 8,000 note templates covering every therapy modality from CBT to EMDR to occupational therapy
- 973 combined reviews across G2 and Capterra with 4.5 on both platforms, which is consistent satisfaction
- Paid plans start at $11.50/mo on annual billing, making it the cheapest paid option in the category
Where BreezyNotes falls short
- Only 14 reviews on Capterra, which makes it hard to assess long-term reliability or know what happens when things go wrong
- No native mobile app, so charting between sessions means logging into a browser on your phone
- No e-prescribing or outcome measurement tools, so prescribers and researchers will need separate systems
- Client portal and appointment reminders are reported as not fully functional by some reviewers, with manual data entry still required in spots
Where Carepatron falls short
- Free plan has only 1GB storage, which fills up fast if you record telehealth sessions or store client documents
- Automated SMS and email reminders are locked behind the Essential plan at $23/mo, so free users send reminders manually
- Newer platform with fewer third-party integrations than established players like SimplePractice
- Advanced analytics and reporting only available on the highest tier at $39/mo
