Psyquel vs TherapyNotes (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Psyquel if

• Fits if you run a mental health practice and would rather hand off insurance billing
• Makes sense if you want credentialing and billing from the same vendor as your EHR

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to run your own claims, as billing is a service done by Psyquel staff
• Skip it if you want a price on the page, as the pricing page is a request form
• Not for you if you work outside mental and behavioral health
• Tight if you want to try first, as no trial is listed

Pick TherapyNotes if

• Fits if you're a solo therapist billing insurance who wants a phone line answered at any hour
• Works for behavioral health groups with many billers and schedulers, as non-clinical users aren't charged

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're solo, as $69 a month is near the top of what this category charges
• Watch out: Group and Enterprise rise to $89 plus $60 per extra clinician from 1 December 2026
• Watch out: eligibility checks and reminders are 14¢ each, e-claims 25¢ from December, mailed claims $1, cards 3.1% + 30¢
• Pricey if you want more than the basics: TherapyFuel AI is $40 a clinician, ePrescribe $65, and HD or group telehealth $15
• Watch out: Enterprise needs at least 30 users, and full medical billing and credentialing go through partners at unpublished prices

Psyquel

• No prices are published; the pricing page is a request form.
• The vendor says it has no long-term contract and charges nothing for self-pay patients, setup, training, upgrades or support.
• Billing is a service run by Psyquel staff, so it is not a self-serve claims tool only.

TherapyNotes

• Group and Enterprise rates rise to $89 for the first clinician plus $60 per additional from 1 December 2026; Solo stays at $69.
• Much is billed per use: 14¢ per eligibility check or text and voice reminder, 25¢ per e-claim from December, $1 per mailed claim, 3.1% + 30¢ per card payment.
• TherapyFuel AI is $40 per clinician a month, ePrescribe $65 per prescriber a month, and Premium Telehealth $15 per clinician a month.
