What the pricing really means
At first glance, TheraPlatform looks cheaper at $39/month vs $249/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 DrChrono wins
- iPad-native app is a genuine differentiator for mobile-first practices
- Award-winning open API with hundreds of integrations
- E-prescribing with EPCS controlled substances included in all plans
- Strong template library for specialty practices outside behavioral health
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 DrChrono falls short
- Starting at $249/provider/mo makes it one of the most expensive options in this category
- 3.5 G2 rating with declining user satisfaction in recent reviews
- No free trial to test before committing to a monthly contract
- Apollo Plus at $1,200/mo minimum is enterprise pricing aimed at small practices
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
