What the pricing really means
At first glance, Halaxy looks cheaper at $0/month vs $35/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 WriteUpp wins
- 30-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can test with real patients before paying anything
- 1,000 free video minutes included on Solo and Group plans, which saves the cost of a separate telehealth tool
- 47,000+ clinicians use it, mostly in the UK, so there is a real user community for support and advice
- GBP pricing starts at just 19.95 pounds per month on the Flex plan, making it one of the cheapest options for UK practitioners
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 WriteUpp falls short
- Not HIPAA compliant, so US-based practitioners cannot use it for patient data
- Only 7 reviews on Capterra and 14 on G2, which is too thin to trust ratings at face value
- No dedicated mobile app, so you are using the browser on your phone which is not the same experience
- No API access, which means you cannot automate workflows or connect to custom tools
- Billing and reconciliation are clunky according to multiple user reviews
