Comparison

Office Puzzle vs Rethink: operations or clinical content?

RethinkBH bundles practice management with a content library (RBT training, clinical protocols, parent training tools) plus a medical-necessity assessment, and prices by users, modules and services on request. Office Puzzle sells scheduling, sessions, notes, payroll and claims at a published $19.99 per user per month and advertises no curriculum. Decide whether you are buying content or operations.

People type “office puzzle vs rethink” because both sell ABA practice software, but the two vendors are selling different things.

RethinkBH, the provider product of RethinkFirst, which also sells to employers and school districts: bundles scheduling, data collection, billing and documentation with content. Its provider page describes a library of RBT training resources, clinical protocols and parent-training tools, an on-demand RBT training course, a medical-necessity assessment and a parent portal. It says the platform is trusted by 96,000 providers, and states that pricing “varies depending on the number of users, modules, and services”.

Office Puzzle sells operations: service plans, session data, AI-drafted notes, scheduling, payroll calculation, EVV and claims, at $19.99 per user per month with everything included. Its pages describe no curriculum, assessment or training library.

  • 1 If content is part of what you are buying, ask Rethink which parts of the library sit in the base quote and which are separate modules.
  • 3 We do not transmit claims; charges leave for your biller as an export.

Which weighting suits your agency

An agency that wants curriculum and staff training bought with its platform should weight the library rows and ask what happens to programs written on Rethink’s protocols if it leaves: content-linked programs are the part of an ABA record least likely to export cleanly. An agency that already has its own programs is buying operations, and Office Puzzle’s published price lets it check the arithmetic before a call. Rethink’s ownership and how it compares with the other large incumbent are on CentralReach vs Rethink.

If you bring your own programs, MegAligna is one more operations option: it ships no curriculum, lists its price per active clinical seat with clients never counted, and keeps session capture working through a dropped connection. Unlike both vendors here, it does not send claims to payers (what the biller export carries).

Common questions

Does Rethink publish its prices?
No. Its provider page says pricing varies with the number of users, modules and services and is quoted on request. Office Puzzle publishes $19.99 per user per month.
Is Rethink mainly a clinical content product?
It is a full practice-management system (scheduling, data collection, billing, notes) with a content library attached. The library is what Office Puzzle has no equivalent for.
Which claims network does each use?
RethinkBH names Stedi. Office Puzzle says it connects with any payer but does not name the network it uses, so ask during the demo.
Can we pilot a new system alongside the old one?
Once a business associate agreement covers the new system, before that, a pilot would put real client records somewhere no contract protects them. Office Puzzle's 30-day trial works with test clients in the meantime, and because MegAligna bills per active clinical seat, a later pilot costs one team rather than the whole agency.

Try it if you bring your own programs

14 days, no card required. Use made-up patients while you evaluate: real patient information waits until a business associate agreement is in place.
