Let’s get something clear from the start: software comparison pages can be tricky. When written by competitors, they’re often biased sometimes even misleading. And let’s face it, the only truly reliable comparison is the one you make yourself (or with feedback from trusted peers running similar clinics).
That’s why, at WriteUpp, we believe in offering you an honest, transparent comparison. Our goal isn’t to overhype or mislead - it’s to give you the facts so you can decide what your healthcare practice really needs from an all-in-one practice management platform.
Whether you’re a UK physiotherapist, counsellor, podiatrist, speech therapist, or multi-disciplinary clinic, the right software should:
- Simplify admin
- Save time
- Keep patient data secure (GDPR and ISO 27001 compliant)
- Support modern features like telehealth, mobile apps, and online booking
This way, you can judge WriteUpp vs CarePatron on what matters most to your practice - not on marketing spin.
All-in-One Platform
WriteUpp: Delivers a unified platform with booking, outcome tracking, patient portals, smart forms & consents, secure notes, built-in video consultations, invoicing & payment tools.
Carepatron: Offers many of these features too (scheduling, notes, billing etc.). But if you want powerful mental health-specific tools + UK/EU compliance baked in, WriteUpp gives you more out of the box.
Video Consultations
WriteUpp: Our platform includes secure built-in video consultations integrated directly into the diary/patient record, with free trial video minutes - so virtual sessions are immediate, streamlined, and secure.
Carepatron: Also supports telehealth even on their free plan and integrates with Zoom / Google Meet etc., but WriteUpp’s video tool tends to be more tightly integrated (less switching, fewer friction points).
Tailored Mental Health Tools like Outcome Measures & Smart Forms
WriteUpp: Therapists need assessment tools, validated measures (PHQ-9, GAD-7 etc.), intake and outcome forms etc. We rovides these ready-made, with automation (sending pre-/post-session forms, saving responses into client records).
Carepatron: Has custom forms & intake, assessment tools, templates etc. But WriteUpp’s library + automation tends to reduce admin more for mental health clinics.
UK/EU-Focused Compliance & Data Security
WriteUpp: For clinics under GDPR and other EU/UK regulations, We built WriteUpp with these in mind, including ISO standards and encryption across contexts. Carepatron: Broadly compliant, secure and designed for many markets, but WriteUpp emphasises UK/EU compliance, local data hosting, and privacy assurance as differentiators.
Mobile App
WriteUpp: We created anative mobile apps so clinicians can manage diaries, case notes, reminders etc. even while away from their desk.
Carepatron: Supports mobile & devices but some users report less robust mobile performance in certain parts (templates loading, etc.). WriteUpp tends to offer a smoother mobile-first experience.
Partner Integrations & Specialist Health-Focused Add-Ons
WriteUpp: We integrates with tools such as CloudRx, Wibbi, Physitrack, plus payments, marketing, external calendar sync etc.
Carepatron: Also has integrations, templates and customization, but WriteUpp’s partner ecosystem is more oriented around mental health / clinical care, which helps practices deliver higher-quality care with fewer tools to juggle
Rapid Support Speed & Local UK/EU Guidance
WriteUpp: When things don’t go to plan, fast reliable support matters. Support and fast response times are crucial to our service. We offer UK-based support, help resources, webinars and demos to get you started quickly with WriteUpp, and are always on hand to give you support when you needing, responding on average in 7 minutes.
Carepatron: Good support, but some feedback notes slowdowns in certain features or less clarity on how certain templates/features work in UK settings.
