Comparison
Casedaisy vs. SimplePractice
SimplePractice is practice management for solo and small private practices — scheduling, documentation, telehealth, insurance billing, and a client portal in one well-established product, with mental health as its primary audience. Casedaisy is narrower on purpose: it plans a travelling caseload by driving route, tracks mileage automatically, and paces visits against each authorization.

Where SimplePractice is strong
For running a private practice as a business, SimplePractice covers far more ground than we do, and it has done so for a long time.
- Scheduling and calendar built for private practice
- Documentation and notes as a core product area
- Telehealth included
- Insurance billing, claim filing, and CMS-1500 workflows
- A client portal with billing, secure messaging, and self-scheduling
- Authorization tracking and unit billing documented in their own help centre
- Published pricing tiers on their website
Where casedaisy is different
SimplePractice assumes clients come to you (or meet you on video). Casedaisy assumes you go to them, and everything in it follows from the drive.
- Drive-route scheduling: the day is sequenced by the drive between stops, with traffic-padded estimates
- Automatic chain mileage: home base to first client, client to client, last client home — no manual log
- Authorization pacing: delivered vs. authorized visits per period, with warnings before a window closes with units unused
- Nap- and availability-aware planning: hard do-not-schedule blocks and soft preferences per client
Scope, stated plainly: Casedaisy is scheduling, routing, mileage, authorization pacing, and visit notes for therapists who drive to their clients. It is not an EMR, it does not submit insurance claims, and it does not run revenue cycle management. Many people run it alongside the system their agency already bills from.

Frequently asked questions
- Does SimplePractice track authorizations?
- Yes — their own help centre documents authorization tracking and unit billing. The difference is not whether authorizations are recorded but whether your week is planned around keeping them on pace.
- Does Casedaisy track authorizations?
- Yes. Each client holds an authorization period with a start date, end date, and authorized visit or unit count. Casedaisy counts delivered visits against it, shows who is ahead or behind pace, and warns you before a window closes with units unused.
- Is Casedaisy an EMR? Can it bill insurance?
- No. Casedaisy is scheduling, routing, mileage, authorization pacing, and visit notes. It does not submit insurance claims or run revenue cycle management, so if you need billing you will either keep your current system or choose one that includes it.
- Can I run both?
- Yes. If SimplePractice is where you document and bill, Casedaisy can sit beside it purely as the scheduling, routing, and mileage layer.
- What does each cost?
- SimplePractice publishes tiers on its pricing page, which we link rather than reprint. Casedaisy starts at $19 per month for solo therapists with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required.
