Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Credit Card Processing Fee Markup

SimplePractice charges 3.15% for credit card transactions despite Stripe (their processor) charging a baseline of 2.9% to most companies. The 0.25% markup translates to an additional $250 per $100,000 processed.

they also raised transaction fees to 3.15% despite Stripe charging every company it works with a baseline of 2.9%? (By the way, just some quick math: that .25% translates into $250 for every $100,000; so, with roughly $150MM in transaction fees processed every year on SP, the company makes about $500K in additional cash with that simple transaction fee increase.

2

Insurance Eligibility Check Fees

SimplePractice charges $0.05 for each insurance eligibility verification check, which users find frustrating as a nickel-and-diming tactic.

insurance eligibility checks are a joke and why in the world are they 5 cents each? Talk about nickel and dimming in my opinion.

3

Telehealth Add-On Fee

SimplePractice has definitely been adding more paid upgrades, and it gets frustrating when essential features suddenly cost extra.

Estimated Year 1 Total ~$24,990
That's roughly 1.7× the advertised license price. The median SimplePractice contract is $948/yr across Vendr purchases.
