Free software for psychologists, with no expiry date.

The word is worn out. In this category it usually means a trial that switches off exactly when you've loaded every client and your calendar lives inside it — which is the worst possible moment to be deciding.

Here the free plan has no date. It's capped on client count, not on time: if you never pay, you keep using it. It opens without any payment method, so there's no card waiting for you to forget to cancel.

A practice just starting out, or one seeing clients a few hours a week, can stay on the free plan indefinitely without running a crippled version of the product.

The calendar, the client record with their history, and session notes — stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM exactly as on the paid plans, because encryption isn't a premium feature and it would make no sense as one.

Also the practice's public website, with your services, your hours and a booking link with a QR code. An appointment booked there lands straight in your calendar. That part tends to surprise people: it's the most externally visible thing and it sits on the free side.

And the day's till with sales and what each client owes, which is the minimum needed to know how the month is going without opening a separate spreadsheet.

Automatic WhatsApp reminders. Every message sent carries a real cost charged by Meta, so we can't give them away without someone paying for them. It's the feature people miss most, so we say it first.

Then: session packages, the waiting room, stock and supply purchases, reporting, team management and additional locations. None of these are gated to force a sale; they're gated because they cost money to run every month.

Both paid plans are published with their amount visible. No quote request or scheduled call needed to know what you'd be walking into if you ever outgrow the free tier.

First, whether you can export. A practice that loads records and notes for twelve months is tied to that system by accumulated work, not because it's the best one. If the answer about exporting is vague, the vagueness is the answer.

Second, what happens when the free plan runs out: whether the next tier's price is published or has to be requested, and whether your data stays put or you start again. Here both paid plans show their amount, and moving up shifts nothing you've loaded.

Third, specific to this trade: where session notes live and who can read them. A system storing clinical material in plain text is a system that hands all of it over the day someone walks off with a copy of the database.
