What the pricing really means
At first glance, WriteUpp looks cheaper at $35/month vs $69/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 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 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 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
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
