IntakeQ, while offering customizable templates and intake forms, lacks AI integration. Therapists must manually enter session notes or build templates themselves. While effective for basic documentation, it may be more time-consuming, especially for those looking to streamline or automate repetitive tasks.
IntakeQ supports online scheduling with automation features and multiple calendar integrations. IntakeQ’s Team Calendar can display real-time provider availability and offers ‘Find Available Times,’ wait-lists, multi-calendar views and automated email/SMS reminders.
TheraSoar excels at providing a simplified, user-first calendar system tailored to therapists.
IntakeQ is known for its strong intake form builder. It supports logic rules, e-signatures, and conditional fields.
IntakeQ also offers client communication tools, but therapists may find the messaging system more functional than warm. Some clients receive communications that look more like system alerts than personal check-ins.
IntakeQ is feature-rich but may feel overwhelming at first. With many advanced options and workflows, therapists may need extra time to explore and configure settings.
On the other hand, IntakeQ does not offer a native audio dictation feature. While you can use third-party tools like Google Voice Typing or other browser-based voice dictation workarounds, these require extra steps and may not be as reliable or streamlined. Therapists who rely heavily on voice-to-text workflows may find TheraSoar's built-in dictation far more convenient and better integrated into their documentation process.
TheraSoar is the more cost-effective option for most solo and small practices. Its Growth Plan costs $8 per user per month when billed annually, or $10 with monthly billing. This price already includes client messaging, AI assistance, customizable forms, and other core features.
IntakeQ starts at $49.90/month for the Forms Only plan, while its Practice Management plan costs $79.90/month, which is the first tier to include telehealth. Each additional practitioner adds $20 to $30.
For teams that want built-in messaging and lower startup costs, TheraSoar offers better value.
TheraSoar combines broad specialty support, mobile accessibility, flexible pricing, 24/7 customer support, and AI-enhanced tools into one modern platform. It is built to scale with your practice, whether you're working solo or managing a full clinical team.

TheraSoar includes dashboards for client retention, billing, session tracking, and revenue trends. IntakeQ focuses more on form performance, intake data, and client engagement metrics. TheraSoar supports high-level practice analytics, while IntakeQ offers deep insight into forms and client interaction.
