OWL PRACTICE VS. JANE
Why Mental Health Professionals Choose Owl Practice Over Jane App
If you’re a therapist in Canada, you need software that understands your work, not generic practice management built for chiropractors and physios. Owl Practice was built exclusively for mental health professionals, with every feature designed around how you actually practice.Â
Deciding Between Jane and Owl Practice
Choosing a practice management solution is an important decision to make.
When it comes to choosing the best client management software, mental health professionals are faced with more options than ever. Jane App and Owl Practice both offer scheduling, billing, and electronic health record (EHR) tools. But the similarities stop there.
Jane App serves physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and dozens of other health professionals. Owl Practice was built exclusively for mental health — and that makes all the difference.
The Jane Problem: One-Size-Fits-All Software
Jane App is a practice management software adapted for mental health. It wasn’t designed for you — it was expanded to include you.
Mental health is different. You need:
- Complex behavioral health documentation, not just session notes
- Long-term client relationships tracked over months or years
- Supervision workflows that protect client privacy
- Clinical measures that track therapeutic progress
- PHIPA compliance with Canadian data storage
Owl Practice was built exclusively for therapists. Every feature exists because it was informed by mental health professionals.
What Makes Owl Practice Different
Jane App is a practice management software adapted for mental health. Owl Practice was built for mental health from day one. Here’s what that means for your practice:
Purpose-Built for Mental Health — Not Adapted for ItÂ
Jane App was originally designed for physical health providers and expanded to include mental health. Owl Practice was built from scratch for therapists, counselors, psychologists, social workers and speech language pathologists.
The difference is exemplified in everything from clinical documentation templates to supervision tools to how client relationships are tracked over time. When software is built for mental health first, it works the way you think — not the way a physiotherapy clinic thinks.
