Practice Better is a practice management platform for wellness professionals (nutritionists, health coaches, functional practitioners) at $35–155/month. Moonshot EHR is a medical EHR for prescribing clinics. The honest comparison is less "which is better" and more "which kind of practice are you."

The cost beyond the subscription
Moonshot can cost more than a standalone EHR. Compare the complete operation: software, extra users, and the staff time spent keeping separate systems in sync.

$507/month beyond your EHR
An example, not measured savings or a quote for the competitor. Count only tools you need and work you actually do. Physical counts and clinical review remain necessary; software does not eliminate every inventory hour.
No platform transaction fee; processor fees are separate. Optional hands-on migration starts at $1,000, depending on scope.

The differences that matter
Practice Better sells e-prescribing as a paid add-on per prescriber. Moonshot includes EPCS-capable e-prescribing for Schedules II–V on every plan, inside the chart, via ScriptSure, a Surescripts-certified EPCS application.
Signed-note immutability, 6-year audit logs, BAA on every plan, and DEA-auditable inventory: requirements a prescribing medical practice has that a coaching platform isn’t built for.
Moonshot bundles CRM with drip sequences, membership billing, telehealth, and inventory, so a growing clinic doesn’t stack five subscriptions on top of its EHR.
The honest part
If you're a non-prescribing wellness practice (nutrition, health coaching, most naturopathic work), Practice Better is genuinely good and far cheaper at $35–155/month. Moonshot's $1,000/month only earns its keep when you prescribe, dispense, and run membership revenue at clinic scale. Don't pay for EPCS you'll never use.
