SimplePractice vs Jane App (2026): Pricing & Fit

SimplePractice vs Jane App for Private Practices (2026)

SimplePractice and Jane App are the two names that come up most often when a therapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, or allied health practice shops for practice management software. They overlap heavily - scheduling, charting, telehealth, invoicing, client portal - but their pricing structures and regional assumptions differ in ways that matter more than any feature checklist.

The short version: SimplePractice is built around tiered plans with team support reserved for the top tier; Jane is built around per-practitioner pricing that scales more gently for groups. And if you run an EU practice, both need a hard data-residency conversation before you import a single patient record.

Prices below are North American list prices at the time of writing - verify current pricing at simplepractice.com and jane.app before deciding.

Pricing Structure, Side by Side

SimplePractice: three tiers, teams on top

SimplePractice prices by feature tier: Starter around $49/month, Essential around $79/month, and Plus around $99/month (verify at simplepractice.com). Two structural details matter:

• Additional clinicians require the Plus plan. Group practices can't sit on the cheaper tiers - each added clinician runs roughly $69–$74/month depending on group size, with practice managers around $39/month.
• Features move with tiers. Appointment reminders, client messaging, and multiple calendar syncs live in higher tiers, so the tier you actually need may not be the one you first budget for. The optional AI note taker adds about $35/month per clinician, and card processing is charged per transaction.

Jane App: per-practitioner, part-time friendly

Jane prices by plan and headcount: base plans around $54–$99/month including the first practitioner (verify at jane.app). Then:

• Full-time practitioners (booking more than about 24 hours/week) add roughly $35–$40/month each depending on plan.
• Part-time practitioners add roughly half that - $17.50–$20/month.
• Admin staff without bookable hours are free, which mixed front-desk teams appreciate.
• Insurance billing is a paid add-on (~$20/month) that also nudges per-practitioner fees up slightly.

For a solo practice the two platforms land within a few dollars of each other. For a five-clinician group, run the arithmetic both ways - the per-head difference compounds every month, and Jane's part-time rate can materially change the total for practices with associates who book limited hours.

Cost Sketch: Three Practice Profiles

Profile	SimplePractice (typical)	Jane App (typical)
Solo therapist	$49–$99/mo by tier	$54–$99/mo by plan
3 clinicians (1 part-time)	Plus plan + 2 × ~$74	Base + ~2 full + 1 part-time rates
6 clinicians + 2 admin	Plus + 5 × ~$72 + manager seats	Base + practitioner fees; admin free

Both columns exclude payment processing, add-ons, and taxes. Model your own roster - verify current pricing at each vendor before purchasing.

The EU Question

This is where the comparison changes character. Both platforms were built for North American practices:

• SimplePractice is US-based with US infrastructure. Its billing workflow is built around US insurance (claims, ERAs, CPT codes). An EU practice processing patient health data - special category data under GDPR Article 9 - would be relying on Standard Contractual Clauses and its own Transfer Impact Assessment, and working around a US-shaped billing model. See our SimplePractice alternatives for Europe guide for the full picture.
• Jane is Canadian, with hosting arrangements that vary by region - verify the current data-residency arrangement for your region directly with Jane before onboarding patient data.

For either platform, an EU practice should confirm in writing: where patient data is stored, which sub-processors touch it, what processor terms are offered, and how data subject access and erasure requests are fulfilled. If those answers are slow or vague, that is itself an answer. Our EU-hosted practice management guide covers the full due-diligence checklist.

Beyond Price and Region

Charting. Both offer solid clinical documentation. Jane's charting is popular with physio, chiro, and multidisciplinary clinics; SimplePractice's is shaped by talk-therapy workflows first. Trial both with your actual note templates.

Telehealth. Both include or offer video sessions. Check session limits and whether telehealth sits in your tier.

Switching costs. Client demographics export cleanly from both platforms; clinical notes, consent records, and attachments are the hard part. Whichever direction you're moving, our SimplePractice data export checklist shows what a complete export actually includes.

When SimplePractice Is the Better Fit

• You're a US talk-therapy practice living in insurance claims - its US billing workflow is the deepest of the two.
• You're solo and the Starter/Essential feature set covers you.
• You want the polish of the largest player in US behavioral health.

When Jane App Is the Better Fit

• You run a group or multidisciplinary practice - per-practitioner pricing with cheap part-time seats usually totals lower.
• Your clinic mixes physio, chiro, massage, or allied health rather than talk therapy alone.
• You have front-desk staff who need access without a paid seat.

Where Tregovia Fits

Full disclosure: this blog is published by Tregovia, so read this section as our positioning, not neutral ground.

Tregovia is an EU-hosted CRM and practice platform with a different pricing shape: a flat EUR 47/month base plan covering scheduling, reminders (SMS charged per message via credits), client records, online booking, and billing, with 2 staff accounts included and extra seats in EUR 10/month packs of five - not per-clinician pricing. SOAP-style clinical records are a EUR 15/month add-on, and intake/consent forms are available with the Forms add-on (EUR 15/month).

The honest trade-offs: Tregovia has no US insurance billing, so it isn't a fit for US claims-driven practices. It fits EU practices that want flat, headcount-insensitive pricing and EU data residency without transfer paperwork. See the detailed comparisons on our SimplePractice alternatives and Jane App alternatives pages, or our guide to Jane App alternatives with flat pricing.

The Bottom Line

Solo and US-based: pick on features and billing workflow - the prices are close. Group practice: Jane's per-practitioner model usually undercuts SimplePractice's top-tier-only team pricing, especially with part-timers. EU practice: neither is the path of least resistance - do the data-residency due diligence first, and weigh an EU-hosted platform before committing patient data to a transatlantic transfer arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is cheaper, SimplePractice or Jane App?

For a solo practitioner at list price they're close: SimplePractice runs roughly $49–$99/month depending on tier, Jane roughly $54–$99/month. The gap opens with a team - SimplePractice adds clinicians at around $69–$74/month each (Plus plan only), while Jane adds full-time practitioners at about $35–$40/month and part-timers at $17.50–$20/month. For groups, Jane's per-practitioner pricing is usually the lower of the two. Verify current pricing at simplepractice.com and jane.app.

Do SimplePractice and Jane App work for EU practices?

Both are North American platforms. SimplePractice is US-based with US infrastructure and US-focused insurance billing; Jane is Canadian with data hosting options that vary by region. An EU practice processing health data under GDPR Article 9 should verify current data residency, processor terms, and transfer safeguards with either vendor before onboarding patient data - health data has stricter requirements than general client data.

What add-on costs should I budget for beyond the base plan?

On SimplePractice: appointment reminders and client messaging sit in higher tiers, the AI note taker is an optional per-clinician add-on, and card processing is charged per transaction. On Jane: insurance billing is a paid add-on that also raises per-practitioner fees slightly, and payment processing is per transaction. On both, model your real usage - the tier sheet alone understates the total.

Which handles group practices better?

Jane's model is friendlier to mixed teams: part-time practitioners cost roughly half the full-time rate, and admin staff without bookable hours are free. SimplePractice only allows additional clinicians on its top plan, at a higher per-head rate. A five-clinician group should price both carefully - the difference compounds monthly.

Can I switch between these platforms later?

Yes, but plan it. Client demographics export cleanly from both; clinical notes, consent records, and insurance history are harder and often need manual review. Do a test export before committing, and see our SimplePractice data export checklist for what to check.
