The verdict

Which one should you choose?

Choose Jane App if
  • You bill extended health insurance directly (TELUS eClaims)
  • You run or plan a multi-discipline clinic (physio, RMT, chiro, counselling)
  • You want telehealth and online booking on the core plans
  • You want one platform the whole clinic can grow into
Choose Owl Practice if
  • You are a therapy-only practice: psychotherapy, psychology, counselling
  • You want therapy-focused claims (eClaims) and receipts without clinic features
  • You want an interface with zero non-therapy clutter
  • You are part-time: the $60 Growth plan caps at 20 sessions a month
The CPA verdict

Jane for breadth, Owl for therapy depth

For any practice beyond a single therapy discipline, Jane wins: TELUS eClaims direct billing, every discipline charted, and room to grow. We run the books for practices on both platforms, and the direct-billing hours saved are real money.

Owl earns its place for therapy-only practices: it does one job with less clutter, keeps data in Canada, and its session-capped Growth plan suits part-time caseloads. Whichever you choose, pair it with Xero and a monthly bookkeeper so the numbers stay clean.
