Jane is excellent software — for a clinic. Ask around any multi-practitioner wellness office and you'll hear it praised in a tone people usually save for their favorite coworker, and the praise is earned: the charting is deep, the support is human, and the whole thing is built with obvious care. The honest catch is who it's built for. Jane's $54 plan caps you at 20 appointments a month — a single good week for a working solo — and the plan that actually fits full-time practice is $79 before add-ons. Stillbook is $39 flat, unlimited, with everything a solo massage practice needs already in it.

The honest part
Where Jane genuinely wins
Jane's charting is the deepest in this category, and it isn't close. Custom templates, a community library of more than 10,000 of them, treatment plans, outcome-measure surveys — if your documentation needs run past SOAP notes into clinical territory, Jane has already built what you're imagining. Every plan includes 1:1 telehealth, and their AI scribe will draft notes from a recorded session for $15 a month. Stillbook's charting is fast and massage-shaped, but it is not that.
Insurance is the same story. Superbills and CMS1500s come standard, and the $20-a-month billing add-on handles real claims — eligibility checks, ERAs, a clearinghouse integration. If any slice of your income runs through insurers, Jane does work Stillbook simply doesn't do.
And the intangibles are real: phone support with no time limits, free data imports, a complimentary setup call, and a user community that genuinely loves the product. Jane has years of track record and thousands of clinics behind it; Stillbook is in early access. If you're hiring practitioner number two next year, Jane will grow with you — unlimited staff profiles start at Practice — and Stillbook won't.
Where Stillbook wins
Look at what the pricing assumes. Balance, at $54, allows 20 appointments a month — roughly one full-time week — so a working solo outgrows it by the second Friday, and it already costs $15 more than Stillbook. The plan that matches an actual full-time book is Practice at $79: $948 a year, against $468 for Stillbook — a $480-a-year difference before any add-ons. SMS reminders follow the same ladder: unlimited texts arrive with Practice, while Stillbook includes them at $39 because a reminder that cuts no-shows isn't a premium feature for someone whose whole income is their own calendar.
The deeper mismatch isn't the price, it's the shape. Jane is clinic-shaped software: unlimited admin seats, staff profiles, timesheets, rooms and equipment, shift management — a front desk rendered in software. None of it is padding for a clinic; all of it is weight for a solo. You'll configure staff permissions for a staff of one. Stillbook is solo-shaped: one calendar, one practitioner, and every screen assumes the person reading it is the person doing the massage.
On privacy, credit where due: Jane takes it seriously, and a BAA is available by working with their team. Stillbook's is self-serve on every plan — the HIPAA contract a scheduling tool must sign before it can hold client health information — signed in minutes on the day you start, not a conversation you open with support.
What switching actually involves
Most of the fear around switching is bigger than the reality — and the honest catch is worth planning for. Export your charts from Jane before you cancel anything; treatment histories rarely move between systems as living records, and Jane's are rich enough that you'll want the complete copies. Your client list and upcoming schedule move over in minutes. The fuller checklist is in what actually moves with you.
Who shouldn't switch
Jane is the right call in a few specific situations, worth naming plainly:
Stay with Jane if…
You bill insurance.
Jane’s superbills and claims workflow are the real thing; Stillbook doesn’t do insurance billing at all, and no price difference outweighs a feature your income depends on.
Telehealth is part of your practice.
Jane includes it on every plan. Stillbook doesn’t offer it.
You’re a clinic, or about to be one.
The moment a second practitioner needs a calendar, Jane’s whole design starts earning its price, and Stillbook stops being the right tool.
Switch to Stillbook if…
Your book is full-time.
The plan that matches an actual full-time book is Practice at $79: $948 a year, against $468 for Stillbook — a $480-a-year difference before any add-ons.
You’re a staff of one.
You’ll configure staff permissions for a staff of one.
You want the BAA signed today.
Stillbook’s is self-serve on every plan — the HIPAA contract a scheduling tool must sign before it can hold client health information — signed in minutes on the day you start, not a conversation you open with support.
If none of those are you — if you're one therapist, one table, booking your own clients and writing your own notes — then most of what Jane charges for is a clinic you don't have. The move is mechanical: export your charts, bring your client list, send your regulars the new link. What's left is a tool the size of your actual practice, at a price that stays the size of the tool.
