Nutrinomist vs SimplePractice
SimplePractice is one of the largest practice platforms in the US, built first for therapists, with deep insurance billing. Its terms limit accounts to the US and Canada. Nutrinomist is built for nutrition and health practitioners anywhere, with clients in many languages: a free plan to start, the client portal and chat from Starter, and AI notes from video calls included in Pro.
The honest summary
If you practise in the US or Canada and bill insurance, SimplePractice is a proven choice with a large ecosystem. If you work in Europe or elsewhere, or with clients who don't read English, Nutrinomist is built for that, and its AI notes come in the plan rather than as a per-clinician add-on.
Choose Nutrinomist if
- You practise in Europe, or anywhere outside the US and Canada.
- Your clients should read the portal and forms in their own language, in any of 13.
- You want AI notes from video calls in your plan, with no per-clinician add-on.
Choose SimplePractice if
- You practise in the US or Canada and bill insurance, with claims and ERAs.
- You need ePrescribing, treatment planners or measurement-based care.
- You want unlimited clients on every plan and a widely used, mature platform.

Key differences
Where you can sign up
SimplePractice's terms say accounts can only be opened and used from the United States and Canada, and its servers are in the US. Nutrinomist is open to practitioners anywhere, with its app servers and database in Frankfurt, Germany.
Built for therapy, or for nutrition
SimplePractice is designed around therapy and behavioural health: progress notes, treatment planners and measurement-based care, plus US insurance billing. We found no meal-planning tool. Nutrinomist is built around nutrition work: forms, worksheets, protocols, meal plans and lab results read from PDFs.
AI notes
SimplePractice's Note Taker is an add-on at $35 a month per clinician, and its wider Care Aide bundle starts at $59 a month. In Nutrinomist a recorded video call becomes a transcript and an editable journal summary: 3 a month on Starter, and unlimited under fair use on Pro and Team, with no add-on.
Your clients' language
SimplePractice's client portal comes in English and Spanish, on the web only, while its app, invoices and forms stay in English. In Nutrinomist each client sees the portal, forms and your personal page in their own language, in any of 13.
Switching from SimplePractice
SimplePractice lets the account owner export client data. Nutrinomist has no automatic import yet, so most practitioners move over gradually:
- Start on the Free plan and set up your personal page and packages.
- Rebuild your intake forms: from Starter, upload a PDF of a form, or describe it, and AI drafts it.
- Invite active clients to the portal as they rebook, each in their own language.
- Keep your SimplePractice export for older notes, and connect Google Calendar so bookings don't clash while you use both.
