A SimplePractice Alternative Built for Indian Therapists
The short answer:Therapy Manager gives Indian therapy practices what US-built tools don’t — pricing in rupees (free for your first 10 clients, then ₹999 or ₹2,499/month), UPI payments, billing that understands lump-sum transfers, and itemized invoices delivered to clients on WhatsApp and email.
To be clear: SimplePractice is genuinely good software with features we don’t have, like a client portal and built-in telehealth. This page is about fitfor Indian practices, and we’ve kept the comparison factual.
Why US-built tools don’t fit Indian practices
USD-only pricing
As of mid-2026, per its published pricing, SimplePractice charges roughly $49–99/month — around ₹4,000–8,500. That is a significant fixed cost for a solo Indian practice, before you use a single feature.
No UPI
Indian clients pay by UPI — often round-number transfers covering several sessions. US tools are built around card-on-file billing and have no concept of this workflow.
No Indian invoice formats
Indian record-keeping (and GST, if you are registered) needs sequential, dated, itemized invoices your CA can work with — not US superbills and insurance claim formats.
No WhatsApp delivery
An invoice emailed to an Indian client is often an invoice unseen. WhatsApp is where payment conversations actually happen — your invoices should arrive there.

Frequently asked questions
Why look for a SimplePractice alternative in India?
SimplePractice is excellent software, but it is built for the US market. As of mid-2026, per its published pricing, it charges in USD only (roughly $49–99/month — about ₹4,000–8,500), and it does not offer UPI payments, WhatsApp invoice delivery, or Indian invoicing formats. Indian practices end up paying dollar prices for insurance-claim features they cannot use.
Does Therapy Manager support UPI payments?
Yes. Subscriptions are priced in INR and paid via Dodo Payments, which supports UPI as well as credit, debit, and international cards. Inside the app, you can also record the UPI payments your clients send you — including lump sums that cover several sessions.
Can I send invoices on WhatsApp?
Yes. When you send an invoice, Therapy Manager generates the PDF and delivers it to the client by email and WhatsApp automatically, based on the contact details you have on file.
How much does Therapy Manager cost compared to SimplePractice?
Therapy Manager is free for up to 10 clients and 500 sessions. Paid plans are ₹999/month (Starter, up to 50 clients) and ₹2,499/month (Pro, unlimited). SimplePractice, as of mid-2026 per its published pricing, runs roughly $49–99/month — around ₹4,000–8,500/month at mid-2026 exchange rates.
What does Therapy Manager not have?
We are honest about this: there is no client-facing booking portal, no built-in telehealth video, and no US insurance-claim tooling. Therapy Manager focuses on the core of an Indian practice — clients, sessions, billing, earnings, and invoices delivered where Indian clients actually look.
Is my client data secure?
Your data lives in Supabase (PostgreSQL) with row-level security, so each therapist can only ever access their own records, and data is encrypted at rest. We never sell or share your data. See our security page for the full picture.
