What the pricing really means
At first glance, TheraPlatform looks cheaper at $39/month vs $45/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 Cliniko wins
- Every plan gets the full feature set with no feature gating, so you are not paying more just to unlock telehealth or notes
- Prices have not changed since 2011, which is rare in SaaS and means no surprise annual increases
- 4.9/5 ease-of-use score on Capterra, which is the highest in allied health practice management
- 30-day free trial is enough time to actually migrate data and test with real patients before committing
- Unlimited locations included on all plans, which matters for clinics expanding to a second site
Where TheraPlatform wins
- Telehealth is genuinely good. The whiteboard, screen sharing, and therapy app library make virtual sessions feel more interactive than a plain Zoom call
- 30-day free trial with no credit card. You can test the full platform with real clients before paying a cent
- Pricing starts at $39/month, which undercuts SimplePractice and TherapyNotes for solo therapists who just need the basics
- Built-in insurance billing with electronic claims, coverage verification, and superbills in all paid tiers
Where Cliniko falls short
- Only 23 reviews on Capterra means the 4.7 rating is based on a thin sample compared to competitors with 200+ reviews
- No built-in insurance billing or clearinghouse integration, so US practices billing insurance need a separate tool
- Jump from $45 Solo to $95 Team is a big leap just for adding one more practitioner
- SMS reminders are billed separately by country, and costs are not published upfront on the pricing page
Where TheraPlatform falls short
- No native mobile app. You are stuck using the browser on your phone, which is clunky between sessions
- Customer support gets mixed reviews. Some users report slow responses and finger-pointing when things break
- No open API, so you cannot connect it to Zapier or other tools you might already use
- The interface looks dated compared to newer competitors like Upheal or SimplePractice
