What the pricing really means
At first glance, BreezyNotes looks cheaper at $19/month vs $169/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 Heard wins
- Done-for-you monthly bookkeeping saves therapists the most hated admin task
- Tax prep and filing included — personal on Essential, business on Premium
- S corp election guidance that reportedly saves $5,000+/year in taxes
- Built specifically for therapy private practice finances, not generic accounting
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 Heard falls short
- NOT practice management software — handles finances only, not clinical work
- $169/mo is a lot when QuickBooks Self-Employed is $15/mo
- No G2 or Capterra reviews for independent comparison
- Premium at $255/mo needed if you're an S corp
