Does PsychDesk have a free plan?

Its pricing page shows a 30-day free trial and paid plans in rupees, with no free plan. Bliss is free for a solo practice; see pricing.

Which one keeps notes away from the front desk?

Both say they do. PsychDesk says only the writing clinician can read notes unless they grant access to another team member, and lists role-based access on its Clinic+ plan. In Bliss, notes open only for the therapist who wrote them, their supervisor, and clinic owners and admins, on every plan.

Do both put SAC codes on invoices?

Yes. PsychDesk says its invoices carry your GSTIN and SAC code. Bliss shows your GSTIN, and your SAC code with a CGST, SGST and IGST breakdown when GST is on. Whether your sessions are exempt is a question for your CA; see our guide to GST on therapy.

Bliss vs PsychDesk

Published 23 October 2026Updated 23 October 2026

Which is better for an Indian therapist, Bliss or PsychDesk?

It depends on what you need first. PsychDesk suits a practice that wants reminders on WhatsApp, online payment links and video links made for it, and is happy to pay after a 30-day trial. Bliss suits therapists who want to start free, and clinics that want supervision and notes closed to the front desk on every plan, with credit notes, packages and a GST summary for their CA.
