Feature comparison
Both platforms run a practice well. The difference is what happens beyond operations.
| Capability | Clinexy | SimplePractice |
|---|---|---|
| Online booking and calendar | Yes | Yes |
| Patient and client records | Yes | Yes |
| Clinical and therapy notes | Yes | Yes, deep library |
| Telehealth | Included | Higher tiers |
| US insurance claims | Superbills | Yes, advanced |
| Website builder on your domain | Yes | Basic profile site |
| Local SEO tools | Yes | No |
| Automated review collection | Yes | No |
| Personal branding | Yes | No |
| Multi-region and currency | Yes | US-focused |
| Pricing model | One flat plan | Tiered plans |
In short: for clinical depth and US insurance, SimplePractice leads. For operations plus getting found and chosen, Clinexy does more in one plan. The website builder and local SEO tools are the clearest gap.
Here is the honest way to read the table. SimplePractice was built as clinical software and is excellent at it. Clinexy was built as a growth platform that also runs your clinic. Neither is wrong. The question is which half of the job is your bottleneck. If notes and claims are your pain, SimplePractice shines. If being found and chosen by new patients is your pain, Clinexy was designed for exactly that.
Pricing comparison
SimplePractice uses tiered monthly plans, commonly in the 29 to 99 US dollar range, with the most useful features, including richer telehealth and some growth pieces, on the higher tiers or as separate costs.
Clinexy keeps it to one plan:
- One flat price: 99 US dollars or 999 rupees a month, billed monthly or yearly.
- Growth included: website, local SEO, reviews, and branding are in the plan, not add-ons.
- No commissions: no per-appointment or per-message fees.
- Optional Done-For-You: 499 dollars a month if you want the growth work handled.
A quick worked example. On a records-first tool you might pay for a mid tier, then add a website builder elsewhere, a reminder service, and a reviews tool. Stacked up, that is often 130 to 200 dollars a month across four vendors and four logins. Clinexy folds all of it into one 99 dollar plan with one login.
The honest takeaway: compare total cost, not the headline. Once you add a website, SEO, and review tools elsewhere, an all-in-one plan is usually cheaper. Full detail is on the pricing page.
Support comparison
Both take support seriously. The difference is mostly in scope and tier.
- Clinexy: 24/7 chat on every plan, email under one business day, and a dedicated growth manager on Done-For-You.
- SimplePractice: well-regarded help centre and email support, with live options weighted toward higher tiers.
- Migration help: Clinexy includes guided migration free. Check the current terms on the SimplePractice side.
For a solo practitioner, the practical difference is response time when something breaks mid-clinic. Round-the-clock chat on every Clinexy plan means you are not waiting for US business hours with a full waiting room.
Website builder comparison
This is the biggest single difference, so it is worth being precise.
- SimplePractice offers a simple profile-style site, useful but limited, and not designed to rank on Google.
- Clinexy builds a full website on your own domain, with service pages, health schema, and booking embedded, ready to rank.
- Why it matters: a real website is the foundation of local SEO and patient ownership. A profile page is not.

SEO comparison
SimplePractice does not set out to be an SEO tool, and that is fair, it is clinical software. But it leaves a real gap for a solo practice that needs new patients.
- SimplePractice: no local SEO tooling, no Google Business Profile sync, no structured service pages.
- Clinexy: health-optimised pages, profile sync, and structure built for local and AI search.
- Result: with Clinexy the same software that runs your diary also helps you climb the map pack.
The full approach is on local SEO and the local SEO guide for doctors.
Reputation management comparison
Reviews drive both rankings and the patient's choice. Here the platforms diverge.
- SimplePractice: no built-in review automation, so requests are manual or live in another tool.
- Clinexy: automated, ethical review requests after each visit, with replies prompted and a steady flow encouraged.
- For therapists: Clinexy uses private feedback first and public invites only when appropriate.

Who should choose which
There is no single winner. The right choice depends on what your practice runs on day to day.
Clinexy is the better fit if you
- Want new patients to find you, not just manage the ones you already have.
- Need a real website, local SEO, and reviews without buying three more tools.
- Practise outside the US, or bill in rupees, pounds, or other local currencies.
- Prefer one flat price with everything included over tiered plans and add-ons.
- Run a solo clinic and want operations and growth in a single dashboard.
SimplePractice may suit you better if you
- Depend heavily on advanced US insurance claim and clearinghouse workflows.
- Need a very deep, mature library of therapy-specific note templates.
- Already have a separate website and marketing you are happy with.
- Work only in the US and do not need growth tools bundled in.
Most solo practitioners who want to grow land on Clinexy. Practices built around US claims often stay on SimplePractice. Both are honest answers, which is why this page does not pretend otherwise.

What a switcher said
"I loved SimplePractice for notes, but I was paying separately for a website that did nothing and a reminder tool that barely worked. Clinexy gave me all of it in one place, and within a month new clients were finding me on Google. Migrating my client list took an afternoon."
