SimplePractice is the go-to practice management tool for therapists, counselors, and solo practitioners: scheduling, billing, notes, telehealth, and insurance claims in one place. For running the business side of a practice, it's excellent.
Intake is one feature among many there. Formisoft is built around intake and readiness: every patient's forms, consent, and insurance card done before the visit.

Where SimplePractice Fits Better
You want one system for everything. Notes, claims, telehealth, and billing in a single login is hard to beat for a solo therapist. If its intake documents cover your needs, you may not need anything else.
Where Formisoft Fits Better
Intake is complex. Structured medication and allergy lists, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scoring, couples intake with separate partner sections, routing by provider. Build it with drag-and-drop or describe it in plain English and let AI draft it.
You want to know who is ready. Forms go out before the appointment, reminders chase anything unfinished, and the dashboard shows who is ready today and tomorrow.
The first impression matters. Patients get mobile forms in your branding, with progress saved as they go.
You want to fix drop-off. Analytics show where patients quit, so you can shorten what isn't working.
Use Both
This isn't either-or. Keep SimplePractice for notes, billing, and claims. Use Formisoft as the intake and readiness layer in front of it, and send submissions onward by webhook or CSV export. Our team sets it up with you on a short call.
