CareStack
- Essentials plan starting price $829/month is per location, not per user
- Intelligence plan adds $470/month minimum to base Essentials cost
- Pricing based on number of locations, chairs, and providers (not per-user)
- Core charting and imaging capabilities limited to base Essentials plan
- AI-powered clinical features require Intelligence plan upgrade
Dental Intelligence
- Dental Intelligence publishes no price: no plan rate, no per location fee and no minimum appear on the site, and every route leads to a demo booking or a sales call
- The offering is split across separate modules for analytics, payments, scheduling, insurance verification, patient engagement and an AI receptionist, so a full deployment combines several products
- The vendor offers a $50 gift card for taking a demo, so obtaining a price requires a sales conversation
