What the pricing really means
At first glance, IntakeQ looks cheaper at $29.9/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 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 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 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 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
