Built for therapy, not adapted from physiotherapy
Jane App is a well-known practice management tool serving all allied health disciplines. Grace focuses exclusively on mental health, with AI documentation included in the base price, not an extra monthly charge.
The quick verdict
-
Grace is AI-native, intelligence is woven through every workflow (documentation, scheduling, billing, client management). Jane added AI as an afterthought paid add-on.
-
Grace uses agentic AI that prepares you before sessions, drafts notes after, and stages follow-through tasks. Jane's AI is limited to audio transcription.
-
Grace is built exclusively for mental health with consent-forward architecture. Jane serves all allied health disciplines with generic workflows.
-
Grace is fully bilingual EN/FR from the ground up. Jane is English only.
Why mental health practices need specialized software
Jane was built before the AI era, it's a legacy platform that bolted on artificial intelligence as an add-on. Templates built for physiotherapy assessments, chiropractic intake, and massage notes don't serve the nuances of therapeutic documentation.
Grace was born AI-native, intelligence isn't a feature, it's the architecture. Its agentic AI prepares you before sessions with client context and history, drafts clinical notes after, stages billing and follow-up tasks, and weaves intelligence through search and workflows. When AI is an optional extra, it remains a siloed tool, not a practice partner.
Grace was born from this conviction: mental health therapists deserve software that understands their work from day one, not a generalist system with AI bolted on after the fact.

What sets Grace apart
Three fundamental differences between a mental health specialist and an allied health generalist.
Agentic AI Architecture
Grace's agentic AI prepares you before sessions with client context and history, drafts clinical notes after sessions, stages billing and follow-up tasks, and weaves intelligence through search and workflows. Jane's AI is limited to a single feature: recording and transcribing audio.
Purpose-Built for Mental Health
Every template, workflow, and feature in Grace is designed for mental health practice. No generic physiotherapy or chiropractic templates to navigate around. Consent-forward intake, therapy-specific note formats, and trauma-informed design.
Bilingual by Design
Grace offers complete bilingual English/French support, interface, templates, and client-facing materials. Jane does not offer French language support, which matters for practitioners in Quebec and bilingual communities.

What you actually pay
Add-ons add up. Here's what a realistic scenario looks like.
Jane App
Typical scenario
For a single practitioner. Costs increase with additional practitioners.
Grace
All-inclusive
Per provider. No add-ons. No surprises.
AI that respects clinical boundaries
Grace's agentic AI is an intelligence layer across your entire practice, preparation, documentation, organization, and follow-through, not just a single documentation feature. The GAL-4 safety framework ensures this intelligence remains a tool in service of the clinician, never an autonomous decision-maker.
GAL-4 Principles
- 1
All AI outputs are drafts, never auto-saved to the record
- 2
No autonomous clinical decisions
- 3
No billing without clinician approval
- 4
No recording without explicit consent
- 5
Clinician can disable AI for any client or session type
Different approaches
Jane AI Scribe
Records session audio and generates a transcription. Paid add-on at $15/practitioner/month.
Grace AI
Generates clinical note drafts from session context without recording audio. Included in the base price. Every output is labeled as an AI-generated draft with full clinician control.
Making the right choice for your practice
Both are great tools, for different needs. Here's how to choose.
Consider Jane if...
-
You run a multi-discipline clinic (physio, massage, counselling under one roof)
-
You prefer audio-based transcription for documentation
-
You need a mature ecosystem with 1000+ templates across many health disciplines
-
You want a large established company (~400+ employees)
Consider Grace if...
-
You are a mental health practice (therapists, psychologists, counsellors, social workers)
-
You want AI documentation included, not as a paid add-on
-
You want agentic AI that works across your entire practice workflow, preparation, documentation, billing, and follow-through, not just audio transcription
-
You need bilingual English/French support
-
You want consent-forward AI that doesn't require session recording
-
You want all-inclusive pricing without add-on surprises
Frequently Asked Questions

The two approaches are fundamentally different. Jane's AI Scribe records session audio and generates a transcription ($15/practitioner/month extra). Grace's AI generates clinical note drafts from session context without requiring audio recording, and it's included in the base price. All Grace outputs are labeled as AI-generated drafts and require clinician approval.
No. Jane is available in English only. Grace offers complete bilingual English/French support, from the user interface to clinical note templates to client-facing documents. This is essential for practitioners in Quebec and francophone communities across Canada.
Absolutely. Grace is designed for both solo practitioners and multi-provider mental health clinics. You get role-based access controls, per-provider reporting, and per-practitioner billing, all at the all-inclusive $99 CAD/provider/month price.
Both platforms support Canadian insurance eClaims. The difference: Grace includes them in the base price. Jane charges an add-on of $20/month plus $5 per additional practitioner. For a mental health practice, that's a cost that adds up over time.
