Common Questions

Is this mainly a privacy decision?

Not only. It is also about whether you want to review the session more deeply or move the case forward into between-session work.

Can Reframe replace analytics?

No. If analytics and session review are the real need, Upheal is closer to that job. Reframe is the better fit when the next step is the missing piece.

Why compare them if they are different?

Because therapists often buy by workflow, not software category. The real choice is where the friction is: inside the session review or after the session ends.
