How we compiled this
Official pricing pages were fetched directly and re-verified for each vendor on 2026-06-15: simplepractice.com/pricing, jane.app/pricing, ensorahealth.com/pricing/theranest-mental-health, therapynotes.com/pricing (title-only on direct fetch; prices corroborated via official TherapyNotes support pricing article and multiple secondary sources), practicebetter.io/pricing, tebra.com/pricing, intakeq.com/pricing, zandahealth.com/pricing, and sessionshealth.com/pricing. Jane App publishes prices exclusively in CAD; monthlyUsd is null for all Jane plans. Tebra publishes no monthly prices (all packages quote-only) so monthlyUsd is null. Compliance claims (HIPAA/BAA/SOC2/GDPR) are set true ONLY where stated on a vendor-owned page or in a direct vendor statement; otherwise null. Notable correction this pass: Sessions Health SOC2 reverted to null (no vendor statement found; Drata trust center link unreachable), and SimplePractice Essential annual discount normalized to the vendor's uniform '2 months free' structure. accessedAt 2026-06-15.
Last verified 2026-06-15. We re-check published prices and compliance on a recurring cadence and update this page when they change.
