Born from Clinical Necessity.
Cavridian was founded in 2024 by a group of private practice owners who realized that most "top software" lists were actually paid advertisements. We decided to build the resource we wished we had.
100% Independent
We do not accept referral commissions or affiliate fees from SimplePractice or its competitors.
Clinician-First
Our testing is performed by actual LCSWs, LPCs, and Psychologists in real practice environments.
Cut through the noise, focus on the care.
The business side of therapy is increasingly complex. From HIPAA compliance to electronic billing and telehealth regulations, practitioners spend an average of 12 hours a week on "unpaid" admin tasks.
Cavridian aims to reduce that burden by providing clear, honest data on the tools that manage your livelihood. We believe better software management leads to better patient outcomes.
Testing Process
Functional Stress Testing
We process 50+ dummy claims, run mobile app stress tests, and audit the intake workflow from a patient perspective.
Testing Process
Price Transparency Audit
We dive into the fine print of Stripe fees, clearinghouse costs, and tier upgrades to find the "all-in" annual price.
The Ethical Guarantee
No Pay-to-Play.
Our rankings cannot be bought. We are funded by educational grants and private donations, ensuring our loyalty remains with the clinician, not the software provider.
Why we don't use affiliate links.
Most review sites earn $100—$200 for every "sign-up" they generate. This creates a fundamental conflict of interest. At Cavridian, we've removed that variable entirely. Our research is purely educational.

While we don't provide personalized financial advice, we are always happy to hear from the community. If you've had a specific experience with SimplePractice—good or bad—let us know.

"The only site that actually told me about the hidden clearinghouse fees before I signed up. Saved me $400 a year."
