AbleSpace
Free tier; district pricing on request
Caseload management and goal tracking with a native iOS/Android app. Strong free tier. ISO 27001 certified. Minimal activity library, limited AI, no Medicaid billing, no SLPA delegation.
✓ Native app available. Free unlimited caseload.
Honest note: AbleSpace has a native iOS/Android app — SLPDesk doesn't yet. SLPDesk is fully responsive and works on iPad Safari, but if your team's workflow is primarily native mobile, that's worth knowing before you switch.
