Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Carestream Dental: What is Carestream's pricing model?

Carestream does not publish standard pricing for its dental imaging and medical solutions. Healthcare products from Carestream require direct contact with their sales team for custom quotes based on facility size, equipment needs, and support requirements.

Source
Rx30: Is Rx30 the same company as PioneerRx?

Both are owned by RedSail Technologies. They are sold as separate products to overlapping markets, but roadmap decisions sit with one company, which is worth knowing before treating them as independent options.

Carestream Dental: How do I request a Carestream product demo or pricing quote?

Carestream provides contact options and a service request portal on their website. You can submit a service request or contact their sales team directly to discuss your healthcare imaging needs and receive a personalized quote.

Rx30: What does it cost?

Not published. Request the total including hardware, interfaces and training rather than the monthly software fee.

Rx30: Why do pharmacies stay on it?

Installed base maturity. The interfaces to wholesalers, PBMs and hardware are long established, and those are the things that quietly stop a pharmacy working when they break.

Rx30: How does it compare to PioneerRx?

PioneerRx is more aggressively developed around clinical services. Rx30 has the larger legacy base and broader front-end retail heritage. Same owner, different emphasis.

Rx30: Is it suitable for a small chain?

Yes, and that is one of its stronger cases. Multi-store consistency is better handled here than by the systems aimed purely at single independents.
