Elation Health vs Healthie (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Elation Health if

• Fits if you run a primary care practice and want an EHR with an open developer platform
• Works for a practice that wants a mobile app on iPhone

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you run therapy or counseling, as the workflows are built around primary care
• Skip it if you want a price before a form, as a practice must wait for a personalized quote
• Not for you if you use Android, as the only app found was for iOS
• Watch out: no free plan or trial is listed

Pick Healthie if

• Fits if you're a dietitian or health coach who runs programs and wants clients journaling between visits
• Works for a solo clinician starting out with 10 or fewer active clients, on Core at $18 a month

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you have more than 10 active clients, as Core stops there and Essentials stops at 250
• Pricey if you need unlimited clients or group telehealth, which start on Plus at $115 a month
• Watch out: claims need Claim.MD, listed at $25 to $30 a month plus a $50 to $100 setup fee, and cards cost 2.9% + 30¢
• Watch out: AI charting and the API cost extra, ePrescribing is $40 per clinician, and an inbound fax line is $10 below Plus
• Not for you if you have several clinicians and want a low price, as Group is $135 plus $50 per clinician

Elation Health

• No prices are published; a practice must submit a form and wait for a personalized quote.
• It is built around primary care, so a therapy or counseling practice may find it a poor fit for its workflows.
• The only app store link found was for iOS; no Android app was confirmed.

Healthie

• Core stops at 10 active clients and Essentials at 250; unlimited clients start on Plus, and adding clinicians needs Group.
• Card payments cost 2.9% + $0.30. Claims go through a Claim.MD account, listed from $25 to $30 a month plus a $50 to $100 setup fee.
• AI charting and API access cost extra, ePrescribing through DoseSpot is $40 per clinician a month, and an inbound fax line is $10 a month below Plus.
