ABA practices generate an unusual amount of documentation. Most billable hours come from behaviour technicians who write a note for every visit, and a supervising BCBA has to review and sign each one.

That is why the AI conversation in this corner of therapy software is narrower than in general practice management. Nobody is selling an AI receptionist. The promise is a finished, clinically defensible note built from data the team already collected.

Below are eight platforms used by ABA and paediatric therapy providers, what each publishes as a price, and which include AI. Every figure comes from the vendor's own pricing page.

Why AI in ABA software looks different from a general therapy EHR

A general therapy EHR is built around one clinician and one weekly session. ABA is harder: one client may receive fifteen hours a week of technician time, every visit produces interval data as well as a note, and each authorisation has an expiry date to track.

So the AI that earns its place turns collected session data into clinical narrative. Motivity promises narrative from your session data and observations; Raven Health calls the same idea an AI-powered clinical co-pilot.

1. Praxis Notes — AI session notes, priced per note

Praxis Notes is documentation rather than a practice management system. A technician or BCBA records what happened in the session, the app drafts a note in clinical language against a template, and the clinician edits and approves it.

The pricing is the most transparent in this list. Free includes 10 AI-generated notes and 10 revisions for a single client; Individual is $19.99 a month for 30 notes or revisions and one client, or $199.90 a year; Pro is $39 a month for 60 notes or revisions and unlimited clients, or $390 a year. Start at praxisnotes.com.

Why it made the list: the cheapest way to see whether AI drafting matches your clinical voice.

2. Motivity — priced per learner, with AI session notes live

Motivity combines ABA data collection with practice management: programmes and targets, graphing, scheduling and billing. Its AI session notes went live in late October 2026.

Pricing is per learner a month with unlimited users and roles: ABA Data Collection $26, ABA Practice Management $24 and the All-In-One platform $50, billed monthly on a twelve-month term with shorter options. AI is not listed as a separately priced item. See motivity.net.

Why it made the list: a per-learner price that does not rise as you add technicians.

3. Theralytics — two pricing units, one platform

Theralytics sells practice management and data collection as separate modules, with AI-powered narrative summaries listed inside the practice management plan alongside claims management, secure document storage and reporting dashboards.

You pick your unit. Each module is $20 per client a month or $30 per user a month, and the combined plan is $30 per client or $45 per user, marked down from $40 and $60. A base subscription covers up to ten clients or users and carries a minimum monthly fee of $200 or $300; core plans have no annual contract. New practices can take the BCBA Start-Up Package free for up to six months, then billed at 4.5% of collections. Start at theralytics.net.

Why it made the list: the only vendor here that lets a solo BCBA pay per client and a group practice pay per seat on the same platform.

4. Raven Health — AI notes included, billed per client

Raven Health is an all-in-one platform for new and growing ABA clinics: data collection, scheduling, credentialing, caregiver access and optional managed billing, sold as an AI-powered clinical co-pilot.

Platform is $29 per client a month plus a $500 implementation fee. Platform Pro, aimed at clinics with an in-house biller, starts at $69 per client a month plus the same fee. Managed billing is priced as a share of collections: Concierge at 5% and Concierge Pro at 7%, both with a $1,000 monthly minimum. AI session notes are described as part of every plan, generated within ten seconds. See ravenhealth.com.

Why it made the list: it states that AI is included rather than an add-on, which is rare here.

5. Artemis ABA — per user, with AI on the entry plan

Artemis ABA runs practice management, scheduling, billing and revenue tools on Salesforce. Its AI features sit on the standard plan rather than behind a higher tier.

The Emerging plan is $39.99 per user a month after a 30-day guided free trial, month-to-month, with custom pricing above it. It lists AI Session Notes, AI-assisted treatment plans and AI Scheduling. Data collection is still marked coming soon. See artemisaba.com.

Why it made the list: three separate AI features on the entry tier, with no annual lock-in.

6. Ambiki — AI Scribe for speech, OT and PT

Ambiki is a paediatric EMR for speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists, with therapy tools attached. Pricing is per clinician.

Professional is $59 per user a month and includes the AI Scribe. A limited version at $25 caps you at eight plans of care, eight evaluations and 60 visit notes monthly. Add-ons are itemised: Therapy Tools $5 a user a month, Teletherapy $20, insurance claims $0.25 a claim and faxing $0.08 a page. See ambiki.com.

Why it made the list: it publishes what it charges for every add-on.

7. Ensora Health — one AI layer across TheraNest and Fusion

Ensora Health carries two products: TheraNest for behavioural and mental health, and Fusion for speech, occupational and physical therapy. Older names like Catalyst and Fusion Web Clinic now redirect here.

TheraNest is $29, $59 or $89 per therapist a month with unlimited clients and admin users, plus a $19.50 annual CPT licence; annual billing gives a month free. Fusion starts at $25 a month solo, or $159 and $229 for the first user in a multi-clinician practice plus $45 or $75 per extra user. Ensai, the vendor's AI, is built into both and, in the vendor's words, records sessions and drafts notes. See ensorahealth.com.

Why it made the list: the same AI layer across a behavioural-health EHR and a paediatric therapy EHR.

8. AlohaABA — priced without AI

AlohaABA covers scheduling, billing, payroll and authorisation tracking, with data collection sold separately. On price it is the best value in this list, and it is an honest baseline.

Practice Management is $29.99 per staff member a month with unlimited clients. Data collection is $12 per client a month, shown at $10, and available only alongside the practice management plan. There is a 30-day free trial. Neither page makes any AI claim, so read this as software-only pricing. See alohaaba.com.

Why it made the list: it shows what ABA software costs with no AI attached.

The AI that publishes no price

CentralReach is the largest platform in the market and names more AI than anyone else: NoteDraftAI, NoteGuardAI, VoiceDraft AI, AI-powered scheduling and revenue cycle management. Its pricing page returns a 404, so none of it is quotable.

Rethink Behavioral Health is the same story from the other direction. Session Note AI and an AI dashboard lead the site and it describes itself as AI-powered practice management, but the pricing question is answered with a request for a demo.

Both suit a larger organisation that expects a sales cycle, but neither can be compared on cost until you have a number in writing.

How to choose without a demo marathon

Start with the unit, not the feature list. Per learner, per client, per user and per staff member produce very different bills. A ten-client practice pays less on a per-client plan; a fifty-client caseload usually prefers per user.

Then check whether AI is included or added on. Here AI sits inside a plan you can buy today; elsewhere the same feature is often a per-clinician add-on, so read the plan table rather than the homepage.

Finally, price the whole first year. Implementation fees, minimum monthly fees and a share of collections matter more than the headline seat price: Raven Health charges $500 to implement, and Raven and Theralytics both carry minimums.

If you also run general therapy work alongside ABA, our roundup of AI tools for therapists and mental health practices covers the broader EHR market.

The Honest Takeaway

ABA is one of the few niches where AI is doing real work rather than acting as a marketing layer. Turning interval data and technician observations into a signed note is a genuine cost, and the vendors leading with it compete on accuracy, not on whether the feature exists.

If your caseload is small, start with a per-note or per-learner tool and keep the platform you already have. If you are switching this year, all eight above publish a number, and the difference between per-learner and per-client pricing shows up on your invoice long before any feature comparison does.
