Grove vs Healthie
Healthie is clinical practice management and telehealth infrastructure for health practitioners. Grove is coaching relationship infrastructure. Both have a place. This page is here to help you tell which one fits the work you actually do.
A clinical platform.
Healthie is built for practitioners who run a clinical practice: charting, telehealth video, insurance billing, scheduling, and a client portal, all in one place. It is the operating system for a practice that looks like a clinic.
A coaching relationship layer.
Grove is built for the work between sessions: a daily check-in, habits, reflections, and session prep that turns all of it into talking points before you sit down. It is one elegant layer on the relationship, not a system of record.
Healthie is a strong clinical platform.
If your practice needs the infrastructure of a clinic, Healthie is built for exactly that, and it does it well.
- A full EHR and clinical charting system built for licensed practitioners.
- Built-in HIPAA-compliant telehealth video, so sessions happen inside the platform.
- Insurance billing, superbills, and CMS-1500 claims for practices that bill payers.
- Scheduling with client self-booking, intake forms, and a client portal.
- A developer API and integrations for clinics that want to build on top of the platform.
- AI Scribe that drafts clinical chart notes from a session, part of its AI-native Intelligence layer.
Grove is built around the relationship, not the chart.
These are the things Grove was designed to do that a clinical platform is not, because they come from a different question: not "how do I run my practice," but "how do I show up for this client this week."
Get to the answer fast
Grove simplifies the daily signal down to what matters: what moved, what stalled, what to bring up first. Instead of more charts to read, you get the short version, so more of your attention goes to the client and less to the software.
Session prep, written by Sage
Open a client and Sage, your assistant coach, has already turned the week into talking points before you sit down. Sage summarizes, and never diagnoses, anything Sage writes is clearly labeled, and Grove never sends personal client details to an outside AI provider.
Check-ins as dialogue, not data entry
A 30-second daily check-in your client actually does. You respond with a reaction or a note, and the exchange becomes part of the coaching, not a row in a dashboard.
Reflections, for your client and for you
A weekly reflection clients actually answer, surfaced alongside the daily signal so patterns show up before they become problems. And after a hard session, a private space to reflect and reset, because the work has to stay sustainable for you too.
Attention signals
Grove surfaces who is thriving, who is drifting, and who has gone quiet, so you reach out before a client disappears instead of after.
Coach yourself first
Run Grove on yourself before a single client logs in. Self-coaching mode lets you test your own programs, feel the client side, and build your practice from the inside out.
Transparent pricing
Flat pricing with no add-on stack and no transaction fees. What you see is what you pay, however your practice grows.
Which one fits your work?
- You are an independent health or wellness coach, and the work between sessions is the work.
- You want every session to start already knowing where your attention belongs.
- You want a daily touchpoint clients actually keep, not another portal they forget.
- You want to learn the tool by coaching yourself first, before you add clients.
- You want flat, transparent pricing with no add-on stack and no transaction fees.
- You are a licensed or clinical practitioner who needs a true EHR and charting.
- You bill insurance and need superbills or claims handled inside the platform.
- You need built-in telehealth video and a full client portal.
- You run a multi-practitioner clinic, or you want a developer API to build on.
Grove vs Healthie, answered
Is Grove an alternative to Healthie?
For some coaches, yes, and for others, no. They solve different problems. Healthie is clinical practice management and telehealth infrastructure. Grove is built around the coaching relationship and the work clients do between sessions. If your job is the relationship rather than clinical records and billing, Grove is likely the closer fit.
Can Grove handle insurance billing or telehealth video?
No. Grove does not bill insurance, generate superbills, or host video sessions. Those are core to a clinical platform like Healthie. Grove focuses on check-ins, habits, reflections, session prep, and the coaching response workflow. Many coaches keep a tool like Healthie or Zoom for the clinical and scheduling side and use Grove for the coaching layer on top.
I am a health coach, not a clinician. Do I need an EHR?
Often not. An EHR is built for clinical records, charting, and payer billing. If you are coaching behavior change rather than managing a clinical chart, an EHR can be more platform than the work requires. Grove is built for the coaching relationship instead.
Does Grove have AI, like Healthie?
Both do, pointed at different work. Healthie's AI Scribe drafts clinical chart notes from a session. Grove's assistant coach, Sage, works on the coaching relationship instead: summarizing a client's week, drafting your session prep, and surfacing patterns across check-ins. Sage summarizes, and never diagnoses, anything Sage writes is clearly labeled, and Grove never sends personal client details to an outside AI provider.
How much does Grove cost?
