Bliss vs Practo Ray
Published Updated
Which is better for an Indian therapist, Bliss or Practo Ray?
It depends on the kind of practice. Practo Ray suits doctor-led clinics that want text message reminders, a native app for staff and new patients finding them through Practo.com. Bliss suits therapists and therapy clinics: session notes in SOAP, DAP or free text that only the right people can open, supervision, a client portal and a free plan for a solo practice.
