AI-Powered Documentation
TheraSoar stands out with its AI-assisted session notes. Therapists can use voice-to-text capabilities to dictate session notes directly into the platform, saving time and reducing manual effort. The AI assistant automatically suggests phrases, summarizes content, and adapts over time, making SOAP notes faster and more intuitive. This feature is especially useful for therapists managing high caseloads or trying to improve documentation compliance and accuracy.

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.

Scheduling and Calendar
TheraSoar provides a clean, easy-to-navigate calendar with scheduling, color-coded appointment types, and built-in time buffers between sessions. You can offer clients the option to self-book based on your availability or handle scheduling entirely in-house.

IntakeQ supports online scheduling with automation features and multiple calendar integrations. While flexible, it may require more configuration upfront and may feel more clinical than personal.

TheraSoar excels at providing a simplified, user-first calendar system tailored to therapists.

Client Intake Experience
TheraSoar offers a beautifully simple intake process that allows therapists to customize the experience for every client. With customizable forms, secure portals, and easy file uploads, new clients can complete everything from one place without confusion. You can also set intake tasks and send automated reminders—no chasing paperwork.

IntakeQ is known for its strong intake form builder. It supports logic rules, e-signatures, and conditional fields. However, some therapists may find the setup more complex, and branding options may require advanced customization.

Client Communication
TheraSoar puts communication at the center with automated reminders, session follow-ups, and secure messaging between therapist and client. It supports personalized, branded messages to help maintain rapport and professionalism.

IntakeQ also offers client communication tools, but therapists may find the messaging system more functional than warm. Some clients may receive communications that look more like system alerts than personal check-ins.

Learning Curve and Onboarding
TheraSoar is built with simplicity in mind. Most users report being able to onboard in under an hour, with helpful guides and fast customer support. You don’t need tech experience to get started.

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.

Audio Dictation
TheraSoar offers a built-in audio dictation tool that allows therapists to speak their notes directly into the system. It’s designed to reduce time spent typing progress notes or treatment plans after sessions. With real-time voice-to-text conversion, therapists can document their thoughts naturally, whether it’s during a session break or at the end of the day.

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.
