Jane App alternatives

Five practice management systems worth looking at instead of Jane, what each one is actually for, and the reasons most people should stay put.

Who wrote this

We make Clinic+, which is one of the six below. Everything about the other five was read from their own sites on , and each entry says what it is good for and what it is not — ours included. Products change; theirs is the page to believe if you find a difference.

Why people look

  • The bill arrives in pieces. Jane tiers its features and prices several capabilities separately — their pricing page lists telehealth, insurance billing, payroll and websites among them — so the number you first saw and the number you pay are different numbers.
  • Per-practitioner cost with a part-time team. Jane charges per practitioner above the one included in the base plan, split by hours worked. A clinic of six people covering three days each pays for six.
  • No free plan. Their pricing page lists three paid tiers; there is a demo account on request, which is not the same as running your clinic on it.
  • Working outside Canada and the US. Jane's insurance billing is the thing many clinics choose it for, and it is the thing that means least if your patients pay you directly.

First — the case for staying on Jane

Jane submits insurance claims, runs eligibility checks and has telehealth video in the product — and its AI scribe is aimed at the clinical note itself. If you bill insurers, see patients remotely, or spend your evenings writing notes, Jane is doing three jobs at once that most of this list does not do at all. Switching a clinic costs months; do not spend them to save a subscription.

The alternatives

  1. Cliniko

    Best for: Clinics that want the tiers to stop mattering

    Cliniko does not gate features: every price level gets all of it, and the bill moves only with the number of practitioners. Unlimited locations, reception staff and admin users are included throughout. For a clinic that found Jane's add-ons irritating rather than expensive, this is the structural answer — you are never told an area is not on your plan.

    Not for you if: Insurance claims and stock are not listed among its features, so if you are leaving Jane and taking claims with you, this is the wrong direction. Trial only, no free plan.

  2. SimplePractice

    Best for: Mental health practices in the United States

    Where Jane spreads across allied health, SimplePractice concentrates: its pricing page carries the APA, ACA and AAMFT and cites 250,000 practitioners. Client portal, telehealth access, and ePrescribe as a paid add-on. If you are a therapist who ended up in a product built for physiotherapists, this is the room you were looking for.

    Not for you if: The centre of gravity is behavioural health and the United States. A physiotherapy or podiatry clinic elsewhere fits it worse than Jane. Trial only, and ePrescribe carries a setup fee on top of its monthly cost.

  3. Practice Better

    Best for: Nutrition, functional medicine and health coaching — and anyone tired of per-practitioner pricing

    The structural difference from Jane is the billing unit: Practice Better prices per practice rather than per practitioner, so a team of part-timers is not a team of full subscriptions. Telehealth is on every plan. Beyond scheduling and notes it carries protocols and client programmes, which is a different shape of work — ongoing coaching rather than discrete appointments. Their site names nutritionists, dietitians, functional medicine practitioners, health coaches, chiropractors and mental health professionals.

    Not for you if: Insurance handling is superbills for the client to claim on, from the Professional plan up — not the direct submission and eligibility checking Jane does. The free Sprout plan is for students and capped at three clients, so it is not an evaluation route for a working clinic.

  4. Noterro

    Best for: Solo and small clinics in Canada or the US wanting claims and AI notes for less

    The closest thing here to Jane's combination at a smaller scale: direct insurance billing on the top plan through TELUS eClaims in Canada and Availity, Office Ally or Trizetto in the US, plus an AI voice-to-chart scribe on every plan rather than as a per-practitioner add-on. Aimed at chiropractors, massage and physical therapists, osteopaths, speech and OT, mental health and medspas.

    Not for you if: Direct billing is top-plan only, so the plan you priced may not be the plan you need. The claims integrations are North American — outside those countries the main reason to choose it evaporates. Trial only.

  5. Halaxy

    Best for: Australian practices, and anyone who wants to start at zero

    A permanently free core platform — not a trial — with unlimited practitioners, unlimited locations and unlimited file storage, paid for by credits on the premium things you use. It connects to Medicare, DVA, ECLIPSE, TAC, HICAPS, Workcover, Comcare and NDIS, which is the Australian equivalent of the reason people pick Jane in Canada.

    Not for you if: Those integrations are the strongest reason to choose it and they are Australian. The credit model is harder to forecast than a subscription, because the bill follows how much SMS and telehealth you use.

  6. Clinic+

    This is us

    Best for: Clinics whose patients pay them directly, and whose website should be answering

    Ours. An assistant on your own site answers visitors in the language they wrote in — from your hours, services and FAQ — and writes the appointment into the calendar rather than showing a booking form to somebody who has not decided yet. Stock recorded in the currency you paid with the rate kept from that day, valued in yours. A free plan, and every price published on one page.

    Not for you if: No insurance claims, no eligibility, no telehealth video, and no AI scribe for the clinical note — which is four of the reasons people choose Jane and we have none of them. We are the youngest product on this list with the fewest integrations, and multiple branches sit on our top plan where Cliniko and Halaxy include locations throughout. If you are leaving Jane because of cost rather than fit, read that paragraph twice.

    What Clinic+ does

Questions

Which Jane alternative also bills insurance?
Noterro does it directly on its top plan, through TELUS eClaims in Canada and Availity, Office Ally or Trizetto in the US. Halaxy connects to the Australian funding bodies. Practice Better produces superbills for the client to claim on, which is a different and lighter thing. Cliniko and Clinic+ do not do it at all.
Is there a free alternative to Jane?
Halaxy runs a permanently free core platform with unlimited practitioners and locations — the most generous here, including more generous than ours. Clinic+ has a free plan too. Practice Better's free tier is for students and capped at three clients. Everything else is a trial.
What is cheaper than Jane for a part-time team?
The question is the billing unit rather than the price. Practice Better charges per practice, so six part-timers cost what one does. Cliniko charges by practitioner band, which is kinder than per-head but still moves as you hire. We charge per seat, which is the worst of these three for a clinic of part-timers — we would rather say so than have you find out in month two.
Should I move off Jane at all?
Usually not. Jane does insurance, telehealth and clinical AI in one product, and most of this list does none of the three. Migrating a clinic takes months of everybody's attention. Move for a structural reason — a billing unit that breaks as you hire, or a country where the insurance features do nothing — not because a subscription looked cheaper.

If ours is the one that fits, it costs nothing to find out
