What the pricing really means
At first glance, Halaxy looks cheaper at $0/month vs $100/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 Valant wins
- 80+ built-in reportable outcome measures that auto-send, score, and graph over time, which is the deepest measurement-based care in the category
- E-prescribing with EPCS and PDMP integration included, so psychiatrists can prescribe controlled substances without a separate tool
- MYIO patient portal app for iOS and Android handles intake, payments, and appointment management from the client side
- Telehealth supports group sessions with up to 30 participants, screen sharing, and whiteboard, which is more than most competitors
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 Valant falls short
- G2 rating of 3.0/5 is among the lowest in the category, with complaints about navigation, glitches, and a steep learning curve
- No published pricing means you must contact sales for a quote, and reported costs of $100-300/mo make it one of the pricier options
- No free trial available, so you commit based on a demo rather than hands-on testing with your own workflows
- Multiple reviewers report that telehealth sessions drop or lag, and the patient portal setup is described as an administrative headache
