The report card
Best for behavioral health practices with therapists and prescribers
Valant is a behavioral health EHR for therapy and psychiatry, with documentation, intake forms, billing, group and IOP/PHP support, a portal and telehealth. No prices are published, licenses depend on provider count and type, and revenue cycle management is a separate service.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so we hold it at the middle of the therapy-clinics range ($39 a month). |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial are listed. Quotes are custom. |
| Features | B | Documentation, forms, billing, utilization review, group and IOP/PHP support, portal and telehealth, with revenue cycle management a separate service. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A behavioral health EHR takes onboarding. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | A web service with no integrations or apps listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Valant is for
- Fits if you run a behavioral health practice with therapists and prescribers
- Makes sense if you run group or IOP/PHP programs
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Psychiatry and therapy practices that need prescribing and therapy in one chart
- Programs running intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization care
- Practices that want billing handled by the vendor's revenue cycle team
Worth knowing
- 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.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
4/38
Other therapy and clinic software it is graded above
Valant's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 4 of the 38 other therapy and clinic software we grade, and level with 4.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Valant 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: 30 of the 38 other therapy and clinic software grade higher.
What you could make
- Clinical notes, appointment booking and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse.
- Video sessions that meet health privacy rules.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Valant’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
