Practice Better review

Practice Better comes from the wellness side of private practice, and its plans reflect that. Every paid tier includes scheduling, telehealth video chat, integrated billing and payments, secure messaging, a client portal, forms and note templates, and a mobile app. The limits sit in client counts: Sprout is free for three clients, Starter at $25 a month billed annually allows 10, Professional allows 300, and Plus removes the cap. Professional adds group scheduling, fixed-date programs, deposits and payment plans, and Zapier connections, while Plus adds evergreen and self-paced programs, portal branding, 750 SMS reminders a month and a fax number. Team supports two or more practitioners with custom roles and shared calendars. Therapists who bill insurance can create superbills and connect Claim.MD to manage claims, though that is a separate service. AI charting starts at $10 and ePrescribe costs $49 as add-ons.
