TheraNest: Best Practice Management System with Per-Client Pricing
TheraNest is one of the most popular options in the market, and for good reason. It offers a complete set of features in a modern interface that you can access from any device. In comparison, most other solutions are either lacking features or more painful to use on a day-to-day basis. In addition, the company maintains an active public change log to communicate new features and improvements. A unique differentiator is that TheraNest is priced based upon your number of active clients, and not the size of your team using the system. Read our in-depth TheraNest review.

When evaluating the system, it's important to keep in mind that these billing features are an extra cost beyond the $59 per month for TherapyNotes' entry group plan.
