Switch to Soap Notes

Switching from Paperbell to Soap Notes

Practitioners move to Soap Notes for structured SOAP session notes and a free plan beyond a single client, if you document sessions. Here’s how to switch at your own pace, without disrupting your clients.

How to switch in four steps

  1. 1

    Start free, no commitment

    Create a free Soap Notes account. You can run it alongside Paperbell while you get comfortable, with nothing to cancel up front.

  2. 2

    Set up your basics

    Add your services, availability, and a note template or two. This takes minutes, not days, there's no complex configuration to wade through.

  3. 3

    Bring clients over gradually

    Add clients as they next book in, rather than migrating everyone at once. Most practices move over naturally within a cycle or two of sessions.

  4. 4

    Point new bookings to Soap Notes

    Share your new booking link and start taking payments through Stripe. Once your active clients are in, you can wind down Paperbell.
