What the pricing really means
At first glance, BreezyNotes looks cheaper at $19/month vs $25/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 Owl Practice wins
- Built specifically for Canadian mental health professionals. PIPEDA/PHIPA compliance, Canadian billing codes, and provincial insurance requirements are all native, not bolted on
- Measurement-based care tools on the Pro plan let you track client outcomes with standardized assessments, which most competitors charge extra for or skip entirely
- Admin staff accounts are free. You only pay per clinician who sees clients, which saves real money in a group practice
- APA-endorsed, which gives it credibility if you are a psychologist looking for something vetted by your professional association
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 Owl Practice falls short
- Small review count (72 on Capterra). The user community is much smaller than SimplePractice or TherapyNotes, so you will find fewer tutorials and forum answers
- No mobile app. Managing your schedule between sessions means logging into a browser
- Insurance claims cost $0.25 each and eligibility checks $0.15 each on top of your monthly fee. Those per-transaction costs add up if you file 100+ claims a month
- The introductory pricing ($25/month for Starter) jumps significantly after the promo period, so check the regular rates before committing
