## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them:
> 
> **1. SimplePractice** - The default answer for most solo therapists. It's an all-in-one EHR: telehealth video is included on every plan (group video up to ~15 participants), plus scheduling, notes, client portal, insurance claims, and a paid directory listing. Entry plans run roughly $49-$99/month depending on tier. Pick it if you want one login for everything and don't mind paying a bit more for polish and automation.
> 
> **2. TherapyNotes** - The main rival, and the better pick if documentation is your priority. Notes are structured and template-driven (intake → progress → treatment plan flow), telehealth is included on all plans, and e-prescribing is built in, which matters if you're a prescriber or work alongside one. About $69/month solo, $79 for the first clinician in a group plus ~$50 per additional clinician. Cheaper and more predictable than SimplePractice; less customizable.
> 
> **3. Doxy.me** - The one I'd name if you already have an EHR (or use paper/Google Workspace with a BAA) and just need compliant video. Free tier with unlimited sessions and a signed BAA, which is genuinely rare; Premi

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
