Healthie vs Tebra (2026): which should you pick?

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

Pick Tebra if

• Fits if you run an independent medical or mental health practice that bills insurance
• Works for practices that want their website, listings and review replies next to the EHR

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, as every package is quoted after a demo
• Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial on record
• Watch out: controlled-substance prescribing adds about $75 a provider, and PDMP checks $500 a facility plus about $50 a user a year
• Skip it if your team uses Android phones, as the app is listed for iPhone and iPad only
• Watch out: pricing is per clinical provider, with lower tiers only for providers billing 100 claims or fewer a month
