Practice Better alternative
The Practice Better Alternative That Connects Scheduling, Payments, and Client Records in One Place
Free to join.
Practice Better is a full practice-management platform, an EHR with charting, protocols, and telehealth. For a clinical practice that depth earns its keep. Many solo therapists, coaches, and wellness practitioners look for a Practice Better alternative for simpler reasons: the plan you need depends on how many clients you see, video calls start on the Professional plan, and it is a monthly subscription either way.
HustleHub covers the business side of a solo practice: a branded booking page, scheduling with reminders, intake forms and your service agreement sent with each booking, invoicing, card payments, and a private client record with your notes. There is no subscription required. On the free plan you only pay when a client pays you.
For a solo practice that runs on booking, payments and client records rather than clinical charts, HustleHub puts the whole business side in one free place. Below you will find the real prices by plan, what each option costs at your revenue, the Zoom question answered, and how to switch.
Practice Better is an EHR. Most solo practices don't need the chart.
Priced by how many clients you see
Plans climb with your client count: free for 3, 10 on Starter, 300 on Professional. For a solo practitioner that often means paying for the next tier to unlock a single feature.
A full clinical platform to configure
Charting, protocols and telehealth are real depth, and real weight. A practitioner who does not chart clinically carries setup and surface area they rarely use.
Video waits for the Professional plan
Zoom and built-in telehealth start on Professional, $59 a month billed yearly. The free and Starter plans have no video sessions at all.

What each option costs at your monthly revenue
Which Practice Better plan you need depends on your client count and whether you run video sessions. Here is the monthly software cost at a few revenue levels. HustleHub free takes a 5% platform fee and Hustlin' is $29 a month with a 0% platform fee. Practice Better Starter is $35 a month and Professional $69, or $25 and $59 billed yearly (in brackets).
| Clients paid you | HustleHub free | HustleHub Hustlin' | Practice Better Starter / Pro |

| $0, a quiet month | $0 | $29 | $35 / $69 ($25 / $59) |
| $500 | $25 | $29 | $35 / $69 ($25 / $59) |

Practice Better prices from practicebetter.io/pricing, read September 2026. Starter covers up to 10 clients without video; Professional covers up to 300 clients with telehealth. HustleHub rates are the published Side Hustle (free, 5% platform fee) and Hustlin' ($29/mo, 0% platform fee) plans. Card processing fees are charged by the payment processor on every option and are left out. Founding 100 members pay a 4% platform fee for life instead of 5%.
Do you have to pay for Zoom with Practice Better?
Practice Better's Zoom integration and built-in telehealth start on its Professional plan, $69 a month, or $59 a month billed yearly. The free Sprout plan and the $35 Starter plan do not include video sessions. Whether you also need a paid Zoom account depends on Zoom's own plans and how long your sessions run.
With HustleHub, connect your Google Calendar and each new booking is added with a Google Meet link, and your client gets the invite. For most one-to-one sessions that means no separate video subscription at all. If your practice needs a dedicated telehealth room with clinical features, that is where Practice Better earns its price.
Why solo practitioners look past Practice Better
The first reason is how the price moves. Practice Better's plans are tied to client count and features: 3 clients free, 10 on Starter, 300 on Professional, which is also where video starts. For a solo practitioner that often means paying for the next tier to unlock one feature. HustleHub has no client limit and no subscription required.
The second is weight. A full EHR carries a lot of surface area, and a solo practitioner who does not chart clinically rarely needs it. HustleHub covers the booking-to-payment loop and a clean client record, without a long setup.
What a solo wellness practice actually needs
Day to day, a solo practice runs on a short list: clients book easily, intake forms and your agreement are done before the first visit, payment is collected and tracked, and last session's notes are one click away before the next one. HustleHub builds exactly that loop. When a client books, the reminder is set, the intake form and agreement go out, the payment is tracked, and the client record updates itself.

Your AI Business Partner nudges you
One email a week with your single next move, never sent to your clients.
Why HustleHub wins
No monthly bill. Ever.
Your income isn't the same every month, so your software bill shouldn't be either. Other tools charge the same flat fee whether you were booked solid or had a quiet month. HustleHub only costs you when a client actually pays you, so there's no risk to start, nothing owed in a slow month, and more of every payment stays in your pocket.
Stop being the glue between four apps.
Booking in one tool, payments in another, a separate inbox, notes in a doc. HustleHub puts your booking, invoicing, payments, client records and client messaging in one workspace, so nothing gets copied, lost, or dropped between tools.
Never wonder what to do next.
Running it all solo, things slip. Your AI Business Partner emails you, never your clients, one next move a week, like invoicing a session you just finished or chasing an unpaid invoice, so nothing important falls through.
More clients, not more chaos.
A fuller calendar usually means more admin and more tools bolted on. Not here. The workflow runs itself, so booking more clients adds income, not hours of busywork, and it stays one tool, not five. HustleHub scales with your business instead of adding cost ahead of it.
