AutoNotes vs SimplePractice: Quick Answer
AutoNotes and SimplePractice both help behavioral health clinicians spend less time on documentation, but they are built differently. AutoNotes started as documentation-first and now runs scheduling, telehealth, client charts, a client portal and self-pay billing on its higher tiers. SimplePractice is a traditional practice management EHR with insurance billing at its core. Here is how they compare on documentation, workflow, compliance and price as of November 2026.

Who Each Is Best For
- AutoNotes Notes ($19/mo): clinicians who want great notes fast and want to keep their current EHR.
- AutoNotes Workspace: clinicians who want recording, telehealth, calendar sync and treatment planning in one place.
- AutoNotes Practice: solo and group practices ready to run charts, intake, supervision and self-pay billing inside AutoNotes.
- SimplePractice: solo and group practices that rely on insurance billing and want a widely used EHR, adding AI notes as a paid add-on.
Bottom Line
If documentation time is the problem, AutoNotes solves it on every plan starting at $19/mo. If you also want scheduling, telehealth, charts and a client portal, Workspace and Practice cover that without stitching tools together. SimplePractice may still be the better fit if you depend on insurance billing and a large EHR ecosystem, and don’t mind paying separately for AI notes.
