What the pricing really means
At first glance, Healthie looks cheaper at $19/month vs $50/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 CounSol wins
- Every single user gets a personal dedicated account manager, which is unheard of at this price point in healthcare software
- 4.9/5 customer service score on Capterra backed by 828 reviews, not just a handful of happy users
- e-Prescribing available as an add-on ($60-70/mo), so psychiatrists and prescribers can stay on one platform
- All four plans include HIPAA-compliant records, scheduling, secure messaging, and a branded client portal
- CounselorListing.com advertising included on Standard Plus and above, which is free marketing for your practice
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 CounSol falls short
- No mobile app, and CounSol has been promising one is coming without delivering, which frustrates practitioners who work between offices
- Video sessions are glitchy according to multiple reviews, with group video not supported and device compatibility issues reported
- Video session quality is inconsistent — multiple reviews report glitches, and group video is not supported
- Interface looks dated compared to newer competitors like SimplePractice or Jane, which may put off younger practitioners
- No API means zero automation or integration with external tools
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
