What the pricing really means
At first glance, Grow Therapy 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 Grow Therapy wins
- Free platform with full EHR, telehealth, and managed insurance billing
- 100+ insurance plan partnerships including Medicaid in select states
- AI-assisted documentation built in
- 4.7/5 on Trustpilot with 7,500+ reviews — more than most EHRs
Where Zanda wins
- Starts at $19/mo for solo practitioners, which is the cheapest entry point in allied health practice management
- 12-month money-back guarantee means you can commit for a year and still bail if it does not work out
- Customizable clinical note templates let physios, psychologists, and OTs each build their own workflows without workarounds
- Multi-location and room management included on the Growth plan, so expanding clinics do not need to upgrade to a separate tier
- BizzyAI scribe transcribes sessions and generates notes at $1/hour, cheaper than most AI documentation add-ons
Where Grow Therapy falls short
- No presence on G2 or Capterra makes independent comparison harder
- Commission model means lower per-session take-home than billing yourself
- Similar to Headway — you trade independence for convenience
- Not designed for group practices
Where Zanda falls short
- Starter plan caps you at 1,000 appointments, which a busy solo practitioner can hit in under a year
- SMS reminders cost extra at ~9 cents per message plus a $4.99/mo dedicated number fee, and those charges add up fast
- API is still in beta with early access only, so custom integrations are not production-ready yet
- Australian origin means insurance billing and clearinghouse integrations for US payers are limited compared to US-built competitors
