The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Curve Dental pricing not publicly disclosed; requires personalised quote request; Zanda Health the 2024 rename from Power Diary means most third party reviews, integration guides and community answers still sit under the old name, so buyers researching Zanda Health find a thin trail and may wrongly conclude it is a new and unproven product.
  • They diverge on capability: Curve Dental covers Cloud-based platform, Zanda Health covers Unlimited admin users.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

  • Integrated clinical charting, front office, and billing systemsnot Zanda Health
  • Electronic claims processing with automatic updatesnot Zanda Health
  • Patient engagement tools with 24/7 support includednot Zanda Health

Zanda Health

  • A five physiotherapist clinic in Melbourne that bulk bills Medicare and wants claiming inside the diary rather than a separate portalnot Curve Dental
  • A psychology group practice with more reception staff than clinicians, where per seat pricing elsewhere would double the billnot Curve Dental
  • A UK osteopathy practice moving off paper diaries that needs online booking and card payment without an implementation projectnot Curve Dental
  • A multi site podiatry business that needs room and equipment allocation alongside practitioner availabilitynot Curve Dental

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Curve Dental

  • Pricing not publicly disclosed; requires personalised quote request
  • Startup practices receive special pricing but rates not specified
  • Implementation and licence fees apply with initial upfront costs
  • All-in-one model means no option to use only specific features separately

Zanda Health

  • The 2024 rename from Power Diary means most third party reviews, integration guides and community answers still sit under the old name, so buyers researching Zanda Health find a thin trail and may wrongly conclude it is a new and unproven product.
  • North American billing is not properly served: there is no claims clearinghouse and superbill handling is basic, so a United States practice will need a separate revenue cycle tool and will pay for two systems.
  • Pricing is quoted in United States dollars while the company, support hours and product depth are Australian, so buyers outside those two time zones get support with an overnight lag on urgent clinical scheduling problems.
  • SMS is billed per message beyond the plan allowance and a dedicated number is required in the United States and Canada, so a busy clinic sending reminders and follow ups accumulates a variable monthly cost that is not visible in the headline plan price.
  • Reporting is adequate for a single clinic but weak for a group: cross site financial consolidation and practitioner productivity comparison generally end up exported to a spreadsheet, which becomes a monthly manual job as soon as you pass a handful of locations.
