What the pricing really means
At first glance, Healthie looks cheaper at $19/month vs $169/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 Healthie wins
- Starts at $19/mo which is the cheapest paid plan in the healthcare practice management category
- API-first architecture means digital health startups and developers can build custom workflows on top of it
- Insurance billing via CMS-1500 and Office Ally integration handles the claim submission pipeline without a separate clearinghouse
- Auto-populated superbills save 10-15 minutes of end-of-day admin per clinician
Where Heard wins
- Done-for-you monthly bookkeeping saves therapists the most hated admin task
- Tax prep and filing included — personal on Essential, business on Premium
- S corp election guidance that reportedly saves $5,000+/year in taxes
- Built specifically for therapy private practice finances, not generic accounting
Where Healthie falls short
- Only 21 G2 reviews suggests a smaller user community, which means fewer forums, walkthroughs, and peer support
- E-prescribing is a $40/clinician/mo add-on that stacks on top of already-paid plan costs
- Custom intake forms are locked behind the Essentials plan at $49/mo, so the $19 Core plan uses generic templates only
- The $19 Core plan caps at 10 active clients, which most solo practitioners outgrow within the first month
Where Heard falls short
- NOT practice management software — handles finances only, not clinical work
- $169/mo is a lot when QuickBooks Self-Employed is $15/mo
- No G2 or Capterra reviews for independent comparison
- Premium at $255/mo needed if you're an S corp
