What the pricing really means
At first glance, TherapyNotes looks cheaper at $69/month vs $150/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 Tebra wins
- 2,000+ combined reviews across G2 and Capterra makes it one of the most reviewed platforms in the category
- Built-in patient marketing tools from the PatientPop legacy for growing your practice
- HITRUST certified for security-conscious organizations
- Unlimited non-clinical staff seats at no extra cost
- Estimated range of $99-399/provider/mo covers solo to mid-size practices
Where TherapyNotes wins
- Purpose-built for behavioral health notes with structured templates that match how therapists actually document, not generic medical forms bolted on
- Insurance billing and ERA posting are genuinely good, with electronic claim submission and automated payment reconciliation
- E-prescribing with EPCS included in the base price, so psychiatrists do not need a separate add-on
- Capterra 4.7 with nearly 1,000 reviews is one of the highest satisfaction scores in the category
Where Tebra falls short
- Custom pricing means no price transparency until you talk to sales
- $500 implementation fee on top of monthly costs
- 3.9 Capterra rating despite high volume suggests mixed experiences
- Merging Kareo and PatientPop created integration growing pains still felt by users
Where TherapyNotes falls short
- No open API, so you cannot connect to tools they have not pre-built integrations for
- Per-text reminder charges of $0.14 each add up fast if you send confirmations and follow-ups to every client
- Premium telehealth is a $15/clinician/mo add-on on top of the base price, while competitors include it
- Mobile app only launched January 2026 and is still maturing compared to SimplePractice's years-old app
