The short answer

Which should you choose?

Hi Rasmus is the better fit for teams that want flexible mobile data collection with integrated telehealth and supervision. Cadence ABA is the better fit for clinical teams whose priority is the clinical core: capturing sessions by voice without losing presence with the child, getting phase-change and trend reads suggested for them (Clinical and up), and finishing with a billable note ready to sign.

Cadence focuses on clinical capture, reasoning, documentation, and compliance - not full revenue-cycle billing. Teams that need managed claim submission may pair it with a dedicated billing system.

Where Hi Rasmus stands out

  • Flexible data types (DTT, task analysis, interval, duration, rate, ABC) mixable in one program
  • Built-in telehealth for parent/RBT training and remote supervision
  • Protocol-specific programs (ESDM, SBT, the Balance parent-training program) and photo/video capture

Where Cadence is different

  • Cadence is voice-first - capture happens by speaking, not tapping the mobile app target by target.
  • Cadence's AI interprets the trend in plain language, going beyond AI note drafting and rule-based mastery.
  • On Practice, Cadence adds authorization tracking, CPT checks, and pre-billing validation, so the captured data flows toward a clean claim.

Every one of those AI suggestions is one a clinician accepts or rejects - how we keep the AI accurate explains the guardrails, and HIPAA & BAA covers the compliance posture behind them.

Switching

Moving from Hi Rasmus to Cadence

The clinical cost of switching is history: a move that restarts every graph at zero leaves a BCBA nothing to show a payer at reauthorization. Cadence brings the history with you.

  • Bring your records

    Cadence imports clients, targets, and past session data from CSV, so records you export from Hi Rasmus as CSV files can come with you.

  • Check it before it saves

    For any column it does not recognize, Cadence suggests a mapping, and every row is validated. Rows that need a decision are flagged, and nothing is committed until you confirm.

  • Keep your graphs

    Imported session history sits behind each target's graph, so baselines and acquisition trends carry on from your data instead of restarting at your go-live date.

CSV import is included on every plan. Capture and Clinical start with a free 14-day trial, with no credit card. The complete surface lists everything that ships, including where Cadence deliberately stops.
