Bliss vs ProTherapy
Published Updated
Which is better for an Indian therapist, Bliss or ProTherapy?
It depends on how you work. ProTherapy suits an independent therapist who wants reminders on WhatsApp and a client app with homework, messages and mood check-ins, and is happy to pay from the first month. Bliss suits therapists and clinics that want to start free, keep notes closed to the front desk with supervision for a team, and send invoices with their GSTIN and GST breakdown.
Side by side
| Topic | Bliss | ProTherapy |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Therapists in private practice and therapy clinics in India, from one therapist to teams with front desk staff and more than one location. | ProTherapy says it is "built for individual practices, not large multi-clinician clinics". (source, as of October 2026) |
| Booking | Clients book your open hours from their own portal, and every slot they see is in your clinic's timezone. | One public booking link takes the slot, the intake answers and the payment together, with timezone-friendly booking for clients abroad. (source, as of October 2026) |
| Reminders | Email reminders are sent for you before each session, and clients can confirm or cancel from the reminder email. | Automatic reminders on WhatsApp 24 hours and 1 hour before each session, sent through the WhatsApp Business Cloud API, with email for clients who opt out. (source, as of October 2026) |
| Session notes | SOAP, DAP or free text notes that save as you type, open only to the therapist who wrote them, their supervisor, and clinic owners and admins. | Notes and messages are encrypted in the application before storage, and ProTherapy says its administrators cannot read them. Note formats are not named. (source, as of October 2026) |
| Invoices and GST | Invoices carry your clinic's name and GSTIN, follow your GST setting with a CGST, SGST and IGST breakdown, and show your SAC code when GST is on. | The terms leave receipts and invoices required by law to the therapist; we found no GSTIN or GST fields described on its pages. (source, as of October 2026) |
| Payments | Record cash, UPI and bank transfers against each invoice and see what is still due. | Therapists record UPI, cash or bank transfers; its privacy policy says online card and UPI payments through a gateway are not live yet. (source, as of October 2026) |
| Client side | Clients book, fill in forms and see their next session from any phone browser. | A client app with sessions, homework and resources, messages to the therapist and mood check-ins, with no download needed before the first session. (source, as of October 2026) |
| Where data is kept | Client documents are kept in a private bucket in Oracle Cloud's Mumbai region. Every workspace accepts a Data Processing Addendum under India's DPDP Act. | Platform data, file storage and backups are stored in India, in Supabase's Mumbai region, under a privacy policy written for the DPDP Act. (source, as of October 2026) |
