How to decide

Both are all-in-one platforms; the real difference is depth versus approachability. CentralReach brings the deepest module ecosystem in the category and the strongest enterprise track record, with the learning curve that implies. AlohaABA covers the same core surface — scheduling, billing, authorizations, payroll, and integrated data collection with lesson notes — at a deliberately more approachable scope that small and growing agencies adopt quickly. Growing multi-site organizations tend toward CentralReach's depth; startups often reach value faster on Aloha. Neither publishes pricing, so quote both at your actual size.
