EMR Comparison
Krasyn vs. SimplePractice
SimplePractice is the go-to platform for therapists and counselors — but it has no e-prescribing, no lab ordering, and no E/M coding. If your practice includes medical prescribers, Krasyn is built for you.

Why Physicians Switch from SimplePractice
Three recurring pain points we hear from practices exploring a move away from SimplePractice.
Designed for therapy and counseling, not medical prescribers
SimplePractice is built for psychologists, licensed counselors, social workers, and therapists — not for physicians, nurse practitioners, or PAs who prescribe medications, order labs, and bill E/M codes. Medical practices that try to use SimplePractice as a primary EHR encounter fundamental gaps: no e-prescribing, no lab ordering, no E/M coding, and documentation templates oriented around therapy sessions rather than the medical encounter.
Krasyn's answer
Krasyn is built for medical outpatient practice — primary care, DPC, concierge medicine, and internal medicine. E/M coding assistance, ICD-10 suggestions, lab ordering, and e-prescribing (on roadmap for Q4 2026) are designed for the medical encounter. The Therapy Practice plan also covers non-prescribing behavioral health practices that want AI-assisted session documentation.
No e-prescribing or lab ordering
SimplePractice does not support electronic prescribing or laboratory order management. These are not gaps in SimplePractice's design — they are intentional exclusions for a platform built around talk therapy and counseling, where prescribing and lab workflows do not apply. But practices that include prescribers or order labs cannot use SimplePractice as their sole clinical platform.
Krasyn's answer
Krasyn includes lab ordering and results review as core functionality today. Standard e-prescribing and EPCS are on the active roadmap for Q4 2026 via the DoseSpot integration. Practices that need e-prescribing now should factor this timeline into their evaluation.
Limited interoperability constrains care coordination
SimplePractice's FHIR R4 interoperability is limited, making it difficult to exchange patient data with primary care physicians, hospitals, labs, or health information exchanges through standard data paths. Care coordination across the care team is largely manual — secure messaging and PDF summaries rather than structured data exchange.
Krasyn's answer
Krasyn implements FHIR R4 as its interoperability standard. Patient data — medications, problems, allergies, results — can be shared with referring physicians and specialist networks through standard FHIR R4 connections rather than manual PDF workflows.
What Makes Krasyn Different
AI-native SOAP notes
Ambient AI drafts structured clinical notes during the encounter — HPI, ROS, assessment, and plan — grounded against the visit transcript. Providers review and sign; they do not dictate or type from scratch.
Real-time E/M + ICD-10 coding
As the note is drafted, E/M level and ICD-10 codes are suggested with confidence scores and supporting context — surfacing undercoding opportunities before the encounter closes.
DPC-first pricing
Krasyn was designed around the economics of independent outpatient medicine — including Direct Primary Care. Membership billing is built-in, not an add-on.
No per-seat lock-in
Krasyn bills at the practice level, not per provider seat. Add a covering physician, a PA, or a nurse practitioner without a pricing cliff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SimplePractice a good fit for therapy and counseling practices?
SimplePractice is one of the most widely used platforms for licensed therapists, psychologists, social workers, and counselors. It handles scheduling, intake, session notes, insurance billing, and telehealth well for non-prescribing mental health practices. Its gaps — no e-prescribing, no lab ordering, limited FHIR R4 — are not relevant to most therapy practices. If you are evaluating platforms for a non-prescribing therapy practice, SimplePractice is a credible option.
Can Krasyn serve mental health and behavioral health practices?
Yes. Krasyn's Therapy Practice plan at $79/provider/mo is designed for non-prescribing therapy, counseling, and behavioral health practices. It includes AI-assisted session note documentation, telehealth, and a patient portal. For psychiatric practices that include prescribers, note that e-prescribing is on Krasyn's Q4 2026 roadmap — practices that need e-prescribing today should evaluate SimplePractice or a psychiatry-specific EHR alongside Krasyn.
How does Krasyn pricing compare to SimplePractice?
SimplePractice charges $29–$149+ per clinician per month for solo and small practice tiers. Krasyn's Therapy Practice plan is $79/provider/mo; medical-clinic plans start at $249/provider/mo. For a non-prescribing solo counselor or therapist, SimplePractice's Starter or Essential plan may be less expensive. The meaningful difference is Krasyn's ambient AI documentation — if real-time SOAP note drafting is valuable to your practice, the Krasyn plan may justify the difference.
Can I migrate client records from SimplePractice to Krasyn?
Yes. Krasyn supports data migrations from SimplePractice for practices moving to a medical or behavioral health EMR workflow. SimplePractice's limited FHIR R4 support means extraction uses SimplePractice's CSV export and direct import paths for demographics, session notes, and scheduling history. A pre-migration assessment scopes what is available before commitments are made.
