Moxcares vs SimplePractice
The go-to for solo behavioral-health clinicians.
SimplePractice is polished, well-liked, and priced per clinician. It shines for solo therapists and small behavioral-health practices — and it's portal-centric, with add-ons for claims and eligibility, and no first-party AI staff or hash-chained audit trail.
A great pick for a solo clinician or a small behavioral-health group that lives inside a patient portal. If you're multi-provider, want AI staff you can hire and supervise, or want per-clinic pricing instead of per-clinician, we'd be the better fit.

Switching from SimplePractice
Migrations feel scary. Ours is deliberately boring — one afternoon of setup and a review queue that keeps you in control of every record before it goes live.
- 1Export in one placePull your patient list, upcoming schedule, and clinical documents from SimplePractice — we send a plain-English checklist so nothing is missed.
- 2We import via C-CDAPatients, providers, appointments, and chart documents come in through a C-CDA-compliant import pipeline. Documents land in a review queue with proposed patient matches.
- 3You approve, we go liveYour team walks the review queue with us. Nothing writes to a live chart until a human accepts it. Go-live is usually a Friday afternoon.
- 4We stay on the phone for two weeksSame-day support during the first two weeks — front-desk, billing, and clinical questions answered by a real person.
If Moxcares isn't earning your business, take your data and go — we publish a full export path and a switching-guide OUT for every module. That's a pledge, not a support ticket you'll dread filing.
