Practice Better

What Is Practice Better?

Practice Better is a cloud-based EHR and practice management platform built for health and wellness professionals. It combines scheduling, charting, billing, telehealth, and client communication into one system. Its unified setup helps practices manage both administrative and client-facing workflows without relying too heavily on multiple separate tools.

What Is Practice Better Best For?

One of Practice Better’s stronger capabilities is its client portal, which extends practice workflows directly to clients. From the portal, clients can book or reschedule sessions, complete forms, send secure messages, access programs and resources, and pay invoices. It also supports food, activity, and habit tracking, with integrations for Apple Health, Fitbit, Garmin, and Oura.

How Much Does Practice Better Cost?

Practice Better pricing starts at $35/month for the Starter plan. More plans are outlined below:

• Professional: $69/month
• Plus: $99/month
• Team: $155/month

Practices can also include the following add-ons to their plans:

• AI Charting Assistant: $0.60/hour
• ePrescribe: $49/month, plus a one-time onboarding fee of $99 per prescribing practitioner  
• PDMP Add-On: $5/month with an ePrescribe plan, plus a one-time fee of $399 per prescribing practitioner
• Additional Practitioner: $50/month
• Additional storage: $1/GB/month
• SMS reminders: $0.05/text
• Send and receive faxes: $0.10/page

Users generally describe Practice Better as reasonably priced for the features it offers, but some feel that the platform has become increasingly expensive over time. Smaller practices, particularly those with fewer than 200 active clients, may find the overall cost less cost-effective, especially as pricing increases and additional fees accumulate.

Practice Better Use Cases

After analyzing user feedback and an assessment of Practice Better’s capabilities, we’ve identified use cases where the platform may be a good fit:

Health Coaches Moving Past One-On-One Coaching

Many health coaches hit a ceiling once their calendars fill up with individual sessions. Practice Better lets coaches package their expertise into fixed-date, evergreen, or self-paced courses, so income stops depending entirely on hours worked. Coaches can track client progress inside those programs and layer in AI-assisted charting to cut down time spent on notes.

Dietitians Handling Meal Planning Alongside Clinical Documentation

Dietitians often run two workflows side by side: clinical charting and food-specific tracking. Practice Better addresses this by integrating with That Clean Life for recipe libraries and meal plans, while keeping SOAP and ADIME note templates in the same system. Food and mood journaling functions work alongside billing and scheduling, so nutrition-specific tasks don’t require a separate app.

Chiropractors Managing High Patient Volume With Recurring Treatment Plans

Chiropractic care often involves frequent, short visits and treatment plans that span weeks or months. Practice Better's scheduling tools automate booking, reminders, and follow-ups, which matters when a single practitioner is seeing a high volume of returning patients. Billing runs through Stripe-powered payments with automated reminders for overdue invoices, reducing manual chasing on the admin side.

Naturopathic Doctors Building Long-Term, Habit-Based Protocols

Naturopathic care leans heavily on lifestyle and supplement recommendations that need to stay consistent across visits. Practice Better's protocol tools let naturopaths save and reuse food, supplement, and lifestyle plans, then pair them with journaling tools that track daily habits over time. Integrations with programs like Apple Health and Fitbit feed activity and sleep data directly into that same client record.

Is Practice Better Right For You?

If your health or wellness practice needs scheduling, charting, billing, telehealth, and client engagement in one system, Practice Better can be a good fit. The platform meets HIPAA, PIPEDA, and GDPR requirements, with AES-256 encryption and nightly backups of client data. Payments run through Stripe and Square, both certified at PCI Level 1.
