What the pricing really means
At first glance, TherapyAppointment looks cheaper at $10/month vs $349/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 Elation Health wins
- Clinical-first design with a single-page chart that primary care docs love
- Best-in-KLAS 2023 for telehealth, powered by Zoom
- Open API with webhook catalog for custom integrations
- 30-day free trial with no credit card needed
Where TherapyAppointment wins
- Pricing starts at $10/mo and scales with your caseload, so you only pay more when you actually book more sessions
- 30-day free trial with full access to every feature, no credit card required upfront
- Built-in telehealth option at $15/mo per provider, or bring your own Zoom for Healthcare at $5/mo
- Been around since 2006, which means fewer surprise shutdowns or feature pivots compared to newer startups
- E-prescribing available for $65/mo per prescriber, keeping psychiatrists on the same platform
Where Elation Health falls short
- Only 14 G2 reviews despite being a well-known platform
- Annual contracts required since September 2023 with no month-to-month option
- Starting at $349/provider/mo puts it in the expensive tier
- Built for primary care, not behavioral health or therapy workflows
Where TherapyAppointment falls short
- Telehealth, e-prescribing, and claims are all paid add-ons, so costs stack up fast once you leave the base plan
- Capterra rating of 4.1 with 12% negative reviews points to real frustration, especially around interface design
- No open API, so you cannot connect it to tools like Zapier or your own automations
- Interface looks dated compared to newer competitors like Sessions Health or Blueprint
