Where each one falls short

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

Dentally

  • Pricing is per site and scales with the number of surgeries: Starter is £125 a month at 3 surgeries but £575 a month at 9
  • Phone support is not included on the Starter plan, which is chat only
  • Multi site operation and a customer success manager require the Essentials plan or higher
  • AI clinical note transcription is metered at 45 per surgery per month on Essentials and 90 on Pro
  • Digital imaging through Dentally Vision, custom integrations and custom email domains are Pro only
  • Starter and Essentials are restricted to approved partner integrations

Pearl AI

  • Pearl publishes no pricing; every product routes to a Book a Demo or Contact Us form, so cost is by quote only with no published rate or minimum
  • Regional availability is not guaranteed and Pearl directs prospects to talk to sales to confirm the product is available in their region
  • Compatibility with a practice's imaging and practice management software must be verified with sales rather than from a published integration list
  • Regulatory clearances vary and Pearl directs prospects to sales to learn which clearances apply
  • Functionality is split across separately named products (Second Opinion, Second Opinion 3D, Practice Intelligence, RCM, Calibrate and Voice) rather than one bundle
