Where each one falls short

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

DentalXChange

  • Pricing is not published anywhere on the site
  • A clearinghouse and revenue cycle platform rather than practice management software, so it sits alongside a PMS rather than replacing one
  • Sold as many separate services, including credentialing, claims, attachments, ERA, statements and merchant services

Planet DDS

  • Planet DDS publishes no price for any of its products; the site directs buyers to a sales phone number or a demo request
  • Practice management, imaging, orthodontics and payments are separate products, Denticon, Apteryx, Cloud 9 and Planet DDS Pay, rather than one licence
  • Planet DDS Pay is stated to be designed for Cloud 9 and Denticon, so the payments option is tied to those products
