CompanyOn or SimplePractice? Pick the one built for where, and how, you practice.
SimplePractice is the platform most US therapists know, with telehealth and treatment planning built in. CompanyOn hosts primary data in Canada, charges one flat plan, and is built for practitioners who see clients in clinics, at home and in the community. Here is a fair side-by-side so you can decide.
SimplePractice 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 practice in Canada and want primary data hosted in Canada, PIPEDA-oriented controls and TELUS eClaims.
Care happens in clients' homes, schools, workplaces or the community, not only in an office or on video.
You want reminders, room scheduling, admin access and multiple locations in one price, from the first plan.
Your team mixes disciplines (counsellors, OTs, SLPs, nurses) and you want one record for all of them.
You run home care or community contracts with visit verification or EVV requirements that CompanyOn supports.
SimplePractice fits well when
You run a US-based talk therapy practice and bill US insurers electronically.
Most sessions happen on video and you want unlimited telehealth built into the plan.
You rely on Wiley Treatment Planners, measurement-based care and diagnostic templates.
You prescribe and want ePrescribe inside the same platform.
You want a large US community, a client directory listing and a 30-day trial to explore it all.
Where care happens
One was built for the therapy office and the video call. The other for wherever the client is.
SimplePractice grew up with US private-practice therapists: a weekly caseload, sessions in an office or on telehealth, insurance claims to US payers, treatment plans and outcome measures. Everything in it, from Wiley planners to ePrescribe, serves that day well.
CompanyOn was built for practitioners whose day moves: counsellors who see clients at home or in schools, occupational therapists in the community, nurses driving between visits, mixed clinics that bill TELUS eClaims. The native app carries the schedule, clients and charting, Google Maps plans the route and estimates mileage, and visit check-in and check-out feed billing and EVV workflows for supported agencies, with clinic sessions in the same record.
US office or telehealth-first therapy practice: SimplePractice is a natural fit
Canadian practice of any discipline: CompanyOn hosts primary data in Canada and bills TELUS eClaims
Home, school or community visits: CompanyOn is built for them end to end

Thinking of moving from SimplePractice to CompanyOn?
SimplePractice lets you export 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 SimplePractice still fits your practice better, that is a good outcome. The goal is a tool that matches how and where you practice.

FAQ
CompanyOn vs SimplePractice: common questions
Can Canadian therapists use SimplePractice?
Yes, SimplePractice accepts Canadian accounts, but its help centre states that all data servers are located and backed up in the United States and that electronic claim submission is available only for US insurance companies. Canadian practitioners remain responsible for PIPEDA and provincial requirements. CompanyOn hosts primary data on AWS in Canada and integrates TELUS eClaims, which is why many Canadian practices prefer it.
Is CompanyOn cheaper than SimplePractice?
For a solo practitioner, CompanyOn is $39.99 a month against SimplePractice from $49, and reminders are included in CompanyOn while SimplePractice adds them on Essential at $79. For a group, CompanyOn adds licenses at $26.99 while SimplePractice bills additional clinicians from $74. If unlimited telehealth is central to your practice, SimplePractice includes it and CompanyOn does not. Model your own team on our pricing page and on simplepractice.com/pricing.
Which one is better for telehealth-first practices?
SimplePractice. Unlimited 1:1 telehealth is included in every plan and group telehealth is available on Plus. CompanyOn does not offer built-in video and shines when care happens in person, at home or in the community.
Which one is better for home, school or community visits?
CompanyOn. Its native app carries the schedule, clients and charting, Google Maps plans the route and estimates mileage, and visit check-in and check-out support EVV workflows for supported agencies. SimplePractice's mobile app is designed for office and telehealth workflows and does not list these tools.
Can I switch from SimplePractice to CompanyOn?
