Docfav alternative for psychologists

Running a psychology practice in Spain in 2026 is about far more than seeing clients. Between sessions you have to keep clinical records up to date, issue correct invoices —with the healthcare VAT exemption and IRPF withholding—, send reminders to cut no-shows and keep your invoicing ready for VeriFactu, the Spanish tax agency's verified-invoicing system that becomes mandatory from 2027. Doing all of that while jumping between a calendar, a spreadsheet, a billing program and WhatsApp costs hours every week and multiplies mistakes.

That's why many therapists and psychology practices look for a Docfav alternative: they want a single tool that brings scheduling, clinical records, invoicing and reminders together, that makes sense from day one and doesn't take such a big slice of the budget. Docfav is solid software, but it carries a high price —€33.25/mo— and a generalist focus, designed for multi-speciality clinics rather than the specific day-to-day of psychology. In practice that means paying more for features a psychology practice rarely touches, while the tools you use every day feel like an afterthought.

My Psico Agenda starts from a different idea: practice-management software built specifically for psychologists, psychotherapists and mental-health practices. Faster, more intuitive and more secure, at €19.99/mo and with a free first month, no card. Below you'll find, point by point, why it's the best Docfav alternative for your practice.

My Psico Agenda's calendar shows your appointments in day and week views, colour-coded by session type, with unlimited rooms and resources so two patients or two therapists never clash in the same space. You create recurring sessions in seconds, manage the waiting list and offer a portal where patients book or request an appointment online without a single phone call. If you want to fine-tune your setup, we've gathered good practice in our guide to the best online scheduling for psychologists.

On top of that calendar run the WhatsApp reminders, the channel patients actually read. You can send them manually with no limit on every plan and schedule an automatic allowance that goes out on its own a few hours before the session —the lead time is configurable— in Spanish, Catalan or English. Every reminder lets the patient confirm or cancel with one tap, and that reply updates your calendar instantly. The result is fewer no-shows, fewer last-minute gaps and fewer afternoons chasing confirmations by phone. And because patients reply in the app they already use, you don't need to teach anyone anything new.

Every patient has their own encrypted clinical record, with the progress space you need for your notes and the option to attach reports and documents. Informed consents are generated from a template and signed in the consulting room or through a secure remote link, with support for minors and their legal guardian. Everything is linked to the patient file and the calendar, so patient information lives in one place instead of scattered across folders, emails and notebooks. When a patient asks for a report or a receipt, you find everything from the same screen in seconds.

On security it's worth being clear about what the software does and what stays your responsibility. My Psico Agenda encrypts data at rest, makes daily backups, protects access with a PIN and two-step verification, limits each therapist to their own patients and hosts information in the European Union; if you close the account, your deletion request goes through a review and is handled within a set timeframe. Your part —obtaining consent, keeping professional confidentiality and applying your own retention periods— stays yours: the software makes it very easy, but final compliance depends on your processes. For practices with several professionals we add role-based permissions and a team-wide overview.

The price gap with Docfav is hard to ignore: €19.99/mo versus €33.25/mo. That's about €13 less every month, more than €150 in savings a year, roughly 40% cheaper. And it isn't a teaser price with extras bolted on later: VeriFactu-ready invoicing, reminders and every feature are included, with no modules to pay for separately. You start with a free first month and no card, there's no commitment and you cancel whenever you want. If you work as a team, the practice plan covers up to 15 therapists with the same philosophy. Over a full year that gap adds up to real money you keep in the practice. You can see the detail on plans and pricing.
