SLP Now and SLP Toolkit both charge $29 a month, and that is roughly where the similarity ends. SLP Now is a therapy-materials membership with a planner and billing templates attached. SLP Toolkit is an assessment, progress-monitoring, and IEP-preparation platform with no materials library at all. Most SLPs comparing the two are really asking which problem hurts more: finding materials, or handling data and paperwork. Prices below were checked on both official pricing pages in September 2026.

What SLP Now is for
SLP Now sells the materials problem solved: literacy-based thematic units for mixed groups, skill packs, and a planner that ties sessions to student data so you can pull a quick progress note. The billing templates and the Academy courses are extras; the reason people pay is the library. If you spend evenings hunting for next week's materials, this is the half of the comparison that helps. Full pricing details, including the refund rules, are in How much does SLP Now cost.
What SLP Toolkit is for
SLP Toolkit sells the paperwork problem solved: informal assessments, present-levels write-ups, goal tracking, and data collection built around a school caseload. It does not give you a single worksheet. If your bottleneck is IEP season, progress reports, and keeping trial data organized, this is the half that helps. Pricing and the August 2026 price change are covered in SLP Toolkit cost.
Which one should you pay for?
Ask what you opened most last month.
Materials most nights, data occasionally: SLP Now. Its planner tracks enough data for progress notes.
Assessments, IEPs, and data sheets; materials from existing files or free lists: SLP Toolkit.
Both, seriously: they are complementary. Some clinicians run SLP Now for materials and log the session data in SLP Toolkit. That is $58 a month, or $464 a year on both annual plans, which is why many people end up picking one.
Should you run both?
Only if both halves are real bottlenecks and the district is paying. At $464 a year the combination costs more than any single membership in the niche. A cheaper split is common: SLP Toolkit for the data side, and a low-cost or free source for materials.
The materials half does not have to cost $249
If you go with SLP Toolkit for data, you still need materials, and articulation materials in particular do not need a library subscription. Free, dictionary-verified articulation word lists by sound and position handle routine drill. For a worksheet built around one child, Ga-loo generates it from a description, target sound, word position, age, theme, as a print-ready PDF with every word checked against the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary. Credit packs start at $9 for 10 worksheets, the subscription is $15 a month, and the first worksheet is free with no card. SLP Toolkit at $215 plus pay-as-you-go worksheets lands well under the $464 of running both memberships.
