SimplePractice alternative for Mental Health Therapists
SimplePractice alternative for therapists who want better, for less.
SimplePractice is solid. Stillpoint is the modern, lower-priced alternative — same therapy-specific notes, outcome measures, telehealth, and insurance billing, plus a free plan and lifetime founding-cohort pricing.
The daily friction
Why mental health therapists hit walls with SimplePractice.
Specific gaps that come up when mental health therapists use SimplePractice day to day.
Multi-practitioner group practices pay per-clinician; costs scale steeply
Limited customization on note templates beyond their defaults
No native CBT homework portal or DBT diary card flow (modality-specific structure requires custom build)
Insurance billing add-ons and electronic claim submission can carry additional per-claim costs
Pricing and features
The difference, in the details.
Pricing gets attention first. Daily workflows decide whether the platform actually fits. Each row keeps the tradeoff together on every screen.
