CompanyOn or Owl Practice? Both keep primary data in Canada. Pick the one built for your caseload.
Owl Practice is built in Canada exclusively for mental health, with clinical measures, couples and family tools and bilingual support. CompanyOn hosts primary data in Canada too, charges one flat plan, and serves counsellors, social workers and allied health who see clients in the office, at home or in the community. Here is a fair side-by-side so you can decide.
Owl Practice is a trademark of its respective owner and is named for identification only. Comparison verified October 26, 2026.
The short version
Two good tools. Different practices.
Neither platform is better in the abstract. One of these lists will sound like your week.
CompanyOn fits well when
You see clients at home, in schools, in shelters or in the community and need a native charting app, routing and visit check-in and check-out.
You want one flat plan with unlimited sessions, online booking and SMS reminders from day one.
You bill Canadian insurers and want TELUS eClaims inside your practice software.
Your team mixes counsellors with OTs, SLPs, nurses or other clinicians and you want one system.
You run community or home care contracts with visit verification requirements that CompanyOn supports.
Owl Practice fits well when
You practice only mental health and want clinical measures, couples and family tools and medication tracking.
Most sessions happen in the office or on video and you want telehealth built in.
You supervise associates or students and need supervisory features and Circle of Care.
You practice in French or serve francophone clients.
You want hands-on migration, 1-on-1 onboarding and seven-day support included in the price.
Where care happens
Owl goes deep on the therapy room. CompanyOn goes wherever the client is.
Owl Practice is what happens when a Canadian team builds only for mental health: clinical measures that score themselves, couples and family records that keep each person's notes separate, supervisory tools, secure messaging, telehealth and a French interface, all hosted in Canada. For an office or video-based therapy practice, it is a complete and thoughtful system.
CompanyOn starts from the visit, wherever it lands. Counsellors and social workers who see clients at home, in schools or in shelters carry the schedule, records and charting on the native app, let Google Maps plan the route and estimate mileage, and check visits in and out, while office sessions and TELUS eClaims live in the same record. It also keeps OTs, SLPs and nurses on the same system when a practice is multidisciplinary.
Office or telehealth-only therapy practice: Owl is built for exactly that
Community, school or home-based counselling: CompanyOn is built for it end to end
Mixed team of counsellors and allied health: CompanyOn keeps everyone in one record

Thinking of moving from Owl Practice to CompanyOn?
Owl exports client records and documents, and our onboarding team helps you import your client list. A typical move is a short checklist rather than a project: import clients, connect Stripe and TELUS eClaims, install the mobile app and run the first week in parallel. Session history and past notes may need manual setup.
If after the trial Owl still fits your practice better, that is a good outcome. The goal is a tool that matches how and where you practice.
