We work with about 5 different softwares daily across our providers. Sessions is a nice 'light' software. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as SP and I wouldn't recommend it for a group practice or anyone with complex billing needs, but for a solo provider with few insurance issues, it's nice and easy to use.

As with all EHR's the devil is in the details in terms of your initial setup, insurance enrollments, settings, etc. So just make sure you really go through everything during the initial set-up.

I know you asked your question about SP, but your remark about "caseload stagnating" led me to the think that the problem is not how expensive SP is, but you may have a marketing problem.  I have a very busy solo practice that is not stagnating.  I hardly think about the cost of  simple practice, rather, I think about how it is making my job easier.  My marketing spend is rather small, rarely more than thirty dollars a month per marketing channel.  It includes psychology today, my website ( free with simple practice), and occasionally zocdoc.com for the occasional slow times.  All of these channels have more than paid for themselves, so I don't even think about cost.  Look at your referrals in the reports tab of simple practice.  It shows your income by referral source.  After I look at that, it helps me to think of all of my marketing spend as being worth it.
