## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Two different things get called "telehealth platforms for therapists," so here's both - software you run your own practice on, then companies you can see clients through.
> 
> ## If you want software for your own practice
> 
> **1. SimplePractice** - the default recommendation for solo and small group practices. Built-in HIPAA-compliant video, client portal, intake forms, scheduling, insurance claims, and a solid mobile app, all in one place. Best-polished UX of the bunch and the biggest ecosystem. ~$49/$79/$99 per month for Starter/Essential/Plus - note telehealth and insurance billing aren't in the cheapest tier.
> 
> **2. TherapyNotes** - pick this over SimplePractice if insurance billing is the core of your practice. Clinically stronger notes (its templates genuinely follow therapy documentation conventions), excellent phone support with real humans, and billing that holds up at volume. $69/month solo, $40/month per extra clinician. Less slick interface, more reliable plumbing.
> 
> **3. Jane** - strongest if you're multidisciplinary (therapy alongside PT, OT, massage, dietitians) or in Canada. Best-in-class scheduling and charting UI. $59/$79/$99 per month, with the lowest tier capped at 20 a
