What the pricing really means
At first glance, Charm Health 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 Charm Health wins
- Free tier handles 50 encounters/month with no time limit
- Pay-per-encounter model at $0.50 each is unique and budget-friendly for low-volume practices
- MU3-certified EHR with 256-bit encryption
- Full insurance billing with ERA/EOB posting included
Where Healthie wins
- Starts at $19/mo which is the cheapest paid plan in the healthcare practice management category
- API-first architecture means digital health startups and developers can build custom workflows on top of it
- Insurance billing via CMS-1500 and Office Ally integration handles the claim submission pipeline without a separate clearinghouse
- Auto-populated superbills save 10-15 minutes of end-of-day admin per clinician
Where Charm Health falls short
- Only 9 G2 reviews with a 3.5 rating suggests limited market presence
- Telehealth is a $20/mo add-on, not included in base price
- AI Scribe costs $125/provider/mo on top of everything else
- E-prescribing and EPCS are separate add-ons totaling $265+/year
Where Healthie falls short
- Only 21 G2 reviews suggests a smaller user community, which means fewer forums, walkthroughs, and peer support
- E-prescribing is a $40/clinician/mo add-on that stacks on top of already-paid plan costs
- Custom intake forms are locked behind the Essentials plan at $49/mo, so the $19 Core plan uses generic templates only
- The $19 Core plan caps at 10 active clients, which most solo practitioners outgrow within the first month
