An honest, side-by-side look at the major ABA platforms — what each does well, where each frustrates, and where Cue fits. Pulled from public reviews, not our opinion.
If you're comparing ABA practice management software, you've probably found that most "best ABA software" lists are just affiliate roundups. This page is different: real ratings and pricing from public sources, the genuine strengths of each platform, and the complaints that show up most in reviews — including our own honest trade-offs as the new platform in the space.

| RethinkBH | 4.1 (124) | From $20/user/mo | Solid data collection; built-in RBT training; per-staff pricing | Maintenance/downtime; occasional sync data loss; auto-renewal disputes |

| AlohaABA | 4.9 (61) | $29.99/staff/mo $39.99/client all-in-one | Excellent billing & claims; strong support & reporting | No native mobile app; data collection needs integration; setup effort |
