- A forms-only product, IntakeQ Forms, is sold separately at $54.90 a month plus $20 per extra practitioner.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 24, 2026. PracticeQ is built around branded intake forms, with booking, reminders, SOAP notes, telehealth and claims through clearinghouses. Starter costs $59.90 a month yet allows only 25 appointments and 25 form submissions per practitioner, so most practices need Pro at $84.90, and e-prescribing and patient messaging cost extra.

- **Value for money: D.** Starter is $59.90 a month, where this category's dearest tenth begins, and holds 25 appointments per practitioner. Pro is $84.90 for 500, more than double the category's middle of $39. Extra practitioners are $25 or $30 each.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 2-week trial with no card, and no free plan. Half off the first 2 months exists, but you have to claim it on a call with sales.
- **Features: B.** Branded forms with conditional logic and e-signatures, online booking, reminders, SOAP notes, a client portal, telehealth on its own video, Zoom or Meet, invoicing and claims through Trizetto or Office Ally. AI notes come through Heidi.
- **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record. The forms are the heart of it and you build them, along with booking pages, note templates and a clearinghouse link.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with an open API and links to Heidi, Office Ally, Trizetto, Zoom, Google Meet, Fullscript, Rupa Health and Zapier. No mobile or desktop app on record.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace PracticeQ you would be making insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 5 of the 12 other therapy and clinic software grade higher. It costs $718.80 a year.

- You could make: Forms, appointment booking and clinical notes: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse.
- You could not: Video sessions that meet health privacy rules.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Heidi, Office Ally and Trizetto among them, and has an API.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
