Honest assessment

Where each tool wins and loses

Based on hands-on testing. Both tools have real weaknesses worth knowing before you commit.

Calendly (HIPAA Plan)

What works well

Most familiar to clients
Strong feature set
Familiar interface lowers client friction

Where it falls short

HIPAA only on Enterprise (expensive)
Free and lower paid tiers are NOT HIPAA
Solo therapists usually priced out of HIPAA tier

SimplyBook.me

What works well

Highly customizable
Free starter tier
HIPAA feature plus ISO 27001
Booking plus intake/SOAP extras

Where it falls short

HIPAA requires enabling the custom feature (confirm BAA)
Pricing varies with features/bookings
Not a full EHR
Feature breadth can overwhelm at first

We may earn a flat referral fee if you sign up through links on this page. It is the same for every tool in a category, so it never affects our recommendations.

Some listings on Mytherapist Tools are paid placements, clearly labeled. Paid placement does not buy editorial recommendation. Our top picks are chosen on merit.
