Why practitioners look at Slide Practice instead of Paperbell
Paperbell handles scheduling, client packages, contracts, and payment collection well, and it does not take a percentage of your earnings. Slide takes no commission, ever. What Paperbell does not do is write your session recaps for you, offer built in sliding scale or pay it forward rates, or start below its single $57 a-month plan. Slide Practice starts with a 7-day Pro trial, no card, then $14.99 a month once you grow, and drafts the summary, action items, and follow up after each session, while clients pick from rates you set.

Frequently asked questions
Does Paperbell take a cut of what I earn?
No. Paperbell does not take a percentage of your earnings, and Slide takes no commission, ever. You pay your plan, plus the usual card processing fees on whatever method you use, and keep the rest.
Can I bring my Paperbell clients and history to Slide Practice?
Yes. Slide Practice brings over your clients (name, email, phone, notes) and your past bookings as records. Paperbell handles contracts and packaged checkout in detail. In Slide Practice you collect from clients your own way: Slide takes no commission, ever, and never handles your clients' payment details. So if you lean on Paperbell's packaged checkout, keep that in place or pick your own payment method as you move.
How do I export my data from Paperbell?
In Paperbell, open your account settings and export your client list and contact details, plus any package, contract, or payment records you want to keep. Send us the export and we import your clients, contacts, and notes for you.
