What the pricing really means
At first glance, Sessions Health looks cheaper at $0/month vs $29.9/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 IntakeQ wins
- The intake forms are the best in the category. Fully customizable, branded, and clients actually complete them before the first session without calling you confused
- Low-volume plans at $29.90 and $59.90 per month let part-time practitioners avoid paying for capacity they do not use
- Month-to-month billing with no contracts. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime without penalty
- 4.7 stars on both G2 and Capterra with over 300 reviews. That is not hype, that is consistent satisfaction across years of feedback
- The API is well documented, so if you want to push form data into your own systems or Zapier, you can
Where Sessions Health wins
- Free tier with up to 3 active clients lets you test the entire platform with real workflows before paying anything
- Capterra rating of 4.9 across 113 reviews is the highest in the behavioral health EHR category, with 98% positive sentiment
- Customer support gets constant praise in reviews for fast responses and actually listening to feature requests
- At $39/mo for the first practitioner and $29/mo for each additional, it undercuts SimplePractice and TherapyNotes significantly
- Unlimited admin staff included at no extra charge, which matters for growing group practices
Where IntakeQ falls short
- The practice management side is an add-on, not the core product. Scheduling and billing work but feel less polished than dedicated EHRs
- No native mobile app. Checking forms and appointments from your phone means using a mobile browser
- If you need full EHR features like outcome measures or treatment plan tracking, IntakeQ does not go deep enough
- Adding practitioners gets expensive. At $30/month per additional provider on the top plan, a five-person practice pays $204.90/month
Where Sessions Health falls short
- No native mobile app, so you are using a browser on your phone which is workable but not ideal between sessions
- Telehealth is a $10/mo add-on per practitioner, while competitors like Blueprint include it in the base price
- No e-prescribing support, so psychiatrists or prescribers need a separate tool
- Smaller review count (113) compared to SimplePractice (2,900+) means less community knowledge and fewer third-party guides
