What it really isSimplePractice — HIPAA-compliant EHR and practice management platform for therapists and mental health clinicians.
Our takeSimplePractice is the dominant all-in-one EHR for solo and small mental health practices, combining scheduling, integrated telehealth, insurance billing, clinical documentation, and a client portal in a single HIPAA-compliant product.
It is a healthcare EHR, and there is no permanent free plan, only a 30-day trial. Entry price is $49/mo (Starter), not the $39/mo catalogued.
Why we rate itSimplePractice dominates private-practice EHR because it bundles everything a solo clinician needs — intake, scheduling, integrated telehealth, insurance claims, and SOAP notes — in a polished, genuinely HIPAA-compliant package.
The 30-day no-card trial and guided onboarding mean most therapists are scheduling clients and running telehealth sessions within an hour of signing up.
The catchPricing has risen substantially since private equity acquisition; per-transaction fees (2.95%+ on payments, $0.25/insurance claim) add meaningful overhead for active billers.
Essential features like automated reminders and insurance billing require the $79/mo tier, not the entry $49 plan.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: 30-day free trial with no credit card required; onboarding wizard gets scheduling and client portal live in under an hour.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-clinician add-on cost ($74/mo each on Plus) and per-transaction billing fees accumulate quickly for group practices beyond 5–10 providers.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: client records and billing history are exportable, but intake forms, automated workflows, and integrated payment processing are tightly coupled to the platform.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
