What the pricing really means
At first glance, NovoPsych looks cheaper at $0/month vs $0/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 Halaxy wins
- Core platform is genuinely free with unlimited practitioners, locations, and appointments, which no competitor matches
- 700+ built-in clinical templates means you likely do not need to build forms from scratch for your specialty
- No caps on file storage or patient records, so you never hit a wall as your practice grows
- Pay-as-you-go model means you only spend money on SMS, telehealth, or AI features you actually use
Where NovoPsych wins
- 150+ validated assessments with instant scoring and symptom trajectory graphs
- NovoNote AI Scribe supports CBT, ACT, EMDR, and other specific modalities
- Free tier gives 5 assessments/month which covers a light caseload
- Practice plans with clinical governance reports for group oversight
Where Halaxy falls short
- Not HIPAA-certified for US users, which makes it a non-starter for US-based practices handling protected health information
- Credit-based pricing for SMS, telehealth, and AI features makes monthly costs unpredictable and hard to budget
- Australian-focused platform with limited US insurance billing, clearinghouse connections, or superbill generation
- Thin review presence on major platforms like G2 and Capterra, so independent validation is harder to find
Where NovoPsych falls short
- NOT a practice management platform — outcome measures and AI notes only
- No scheduling, billing, client portal messaging, or insurance features
- No G2 or Capterra presence — Australian-origin, still building US awareness
- No open API for integrations
