What the pricing really means
At first glance, Sessions Health looks cheaper at $0/month vs $0/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 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 Sessions Health wins
- Free tier with up to 3 active clients lets you test the entire platform with real workflows before paying anything
- Capterra rating of 4.9 across 113 reviews is the highest in the behavioral health EHR category, with 98% positive sentiment
- Customer support gets constant praise in reviews for fast responses and actually listening to feature requests
- At $39/mo for the first practitioner and $29/mo for each additional, it undercuts SimplePractice and TherapyNotes significantly
- Unlimited admin staff included at no extra charge, which matters for growing group practices
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
Where Sessions Health falls short
- No native mobile app, so you are using a browser on your phone which is workable but not ideal between sessions
- Telehealth is a $10/mo add-on per practitioner, while competitors like Blueprint include it in the base price
- No e-prescribing support, so psychiatrists or prescribers need a separate tool
- Smaller review count (113) compared to SimplePractice (2,900+) means less community knowledge and fewer third-party guides
