Psyquel vs Valant (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 Valant if

• Fits if you run a behavioral health practice with therapists and prescribers
• Makes sense if you run group or IOP/PHP programs

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price, as the pricing page asks for contact details
• Watch out: licences depend on provider count and type, with add-ons on top
• Watch out: revenue cycle management is a separate service
• Skip it if you want a free trial, as none is listed

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.

Valant

• No prices are published: the pricing page asks for contact details and says quotes are custom.
• The vendor says licenses depend on provider count and type (therapist, prescriber, supervisor), with add-ons priced on top.
• Revenue cycle management is a separate service from the EHR.
