What the pricing really means
At first glance, BreezyNotes looks cheaper at $19/month vs $35/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 ICANotes wins
- Point-and-click note builder genuinely reduces documentation to 2-3 minutes per session, which users consistently confirm in reviews
- Over 100 built-in clinical assessments with automatic scoring and trend tracking tied directly to treatment plans
- E-prescribing with EPCS and lab integration on the Prescribing plan, so psychiatrists can handle everything in one system
- Part-time pricing starts at $35/mo for clinicians with lighter caseloads, which is rare in behavioral health EHRs
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 ICANotes falls short
- Interface looks like it was built in the 1990s and has not had a visual refresh, which multiple Capterra reviewers call out
- No native mobile app, so mobile access requires Microsoft Remote Desktop or a browser, which is clunky
- Telehealth is a $10/mo per user add-on, not included, and the $99 activation fee on prescribing plans adds up
- Appointment scheduler is reported as slow by multiple reviewers, with lag when booking or rearranging sessions
