Jane App Alternative for UK Therapists
Therasee is UK-built and mental-health-only, with GDPR-first compliance, GBP pricing, a free plan, and flat all-in pricing instead of tiered per-practitioner billing.
Jane App is a deservedly well-regarded platform. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in North Vancouver, Canada, it serves health and wellness practitioners across Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia. Jane has invested in real UK localisation: GBP pricing, a UK data centre, a UK insurance billing workflow with a Healthcode integration in beta, GDPR alongside HIPAA and PIPEDA, and a UK phone line. For a multi-discipline allied health clinic, it is a mature, capable choice.
It is also not a UK-native therapy platform. Jane is built for the broad health and wellness vertical: chiropractic, physiotherapy, RMT, naturopathy, dietetics, OT, speech, and mental health share the same product. That breadth shapes the defaults, the templates, the integrations, and the language. Pricing is tiered and scales per practitioner, with insurance billing, group sessions, and websites as separate add-ons on top. There is no free plan and no free trial, so you commit to a paid subscription before you can experience the product. Compliance is framed across three jurisdictions rather than led by GDPR and the ICO. Healthcode, the UK clearing service for private medical insurance, sits in beta.
Therasee is the UK-native counterpart. UK-based, GDPR compliant, ICO registered, designed exclusively for counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists. One flat price of £19 per user per month with everything included, or a permanent free plan for up to 3 clients. Here is how the two compare for UK therapy practice.

Where Therasee stands out
Built for UK therapy, not adapted from a multi-vertical platform
Jane App serves chiropractors, physiotherapists, RMTs, naturopaths, dietitians, OTs, speech therapists, and mental health practitioners through the same product. That breadth shapes the defaults, the chart templates, the language, and the integrations. Therasee was designed for UK counsellors and psychotherapists only. Every label, template, and workflow assumes UK mental health practice: BACP, UKCP, BPS, and NCPS expectations, UK supervision norms, UK self-pay billing, and the clinical conventions UK therapists actually use.
GDPR and the ICO as the starting point
Jane states compliance across HIPAA, PIPEDA, and GDPR because it serves four countries from one product. Therasee leads with GDPR, is ICO registered, and hosts data in the UK. We are HIPAA aligned too, but the framing UK clients, supervisors, and insurers ask about is the posture we lead with.
One flat price, everything included, in pounds
Therasee is £19 per user per month, with video, messaging, notes, AI form builder, branded client portal, scheduling, and invoicing all included. Jane App is £29, £44, or £55 per month before per-practitioner additions, with Insurance Billing, Groups, and Websites as paid add-ons on top. A three-therapist clinic on Jane's Practice plan with Insurance Billing is around £98 a month before SMS, group sessions, or a website. The same clinic on Therasee Premium is £57 a month, all in.
A free plan, not a paid trial gate
Jane App is gated behind payment. There is no free trial; you subscribe and pay up front before you can use the product. Therasee has a permanent free plan: 3 clients, built-in video, branded portal, online payments, SMS and email reminders, unlimited appointments. If you are newly qualified, building a small caseload, or simply want to experience the platform before committing budget, that distinction matters.
AI form builder with UK-relevant assessments
Therasee's drag-and-drop form builder includes an AI assistant that creates forms from plain English, 50+ validated assessments built in (PHQ-9, GAD-7, CORE-OM, PCL-5), e-signatures, and PDF-to-form conversion that digitises existing paper forms. Jane App offers intake forms, surveys, and treatment plans but no AI form builder and no PDF-to-form conversion.
Therapy-specific clinical workflow
Session-linked notes, speech-to-text, therapy-specific templates, and a post-session prompt after every video call. Forms and assessments built around the way UK therapists run intake, contracting, review, and ending. Jane App's AI Scribe is genuinely strong for dictated documentation, but the surrounding workflow is shaped by the broader health and wellness audience.
A team that knows UK practice
When you contact Therasee, you reach a UK-based team that understands UK counselling and psychotherapy, BACP, UKCP, BPS, and NCPS expectations, UK supervision norms, and UK self-pay practice. Jane App offers a UK phone line, but the team and product decisions sit in Canada.
Where Jane App stands out
A mature, deeply-featured Canadian platform
Jane App has been refining its product since 2012 and now serves health and wellness practitioners across Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia. It is stable, well documented, and known for excellent customer support. Within multi-discipline allied health, it is one of the strongest choices on the market.
Real UK localisation, not just availability
Unlike most North American platforms, Jane has invested in genuine UK features: GBP pricing, a UK data centre, a UK insurance billing workflow with Healthcode integration (beta), GDPR alongside HIPAA and PIPEDA, and a UK support phone line. For a Canadian product, the UK posture is more developed than most.
AI Scribe for documentation
Jane's AI Scribe turns recorded sessions or post-session dictation into structured chart notes. For practitioners who prefer dictation to typing, it is one of the better implementations in the practice management space.
Multi-discipline scheduling depth
Rooms and equipment management, availability tagging, patient self check-in, automated waitlist management, packages and memberships, group classes, and gift cards. For a multi-practitioner clinic running rooms and resources across disciplines, Jane's Thrive plan is built for exactly that workflow.
