Where each one falls short

Dentrix

  • The Dentrix product page publishes no price and no licence term, and directs buyers to request a demo or contact the vendor
  • Automatic software updates, in product chat support and priority access to specialists come through the paid Connected Care Essentials plan rather than the base software
  • Dentrix is sold as customisable packages and suites rather than one product, so what a practice gets depends on which suite it buys
  • Henry Schein One sells two separate practice management systems side by side, Dentrix and Dentrix Ascend, so buyers must choose between them rather than moving between editions

Phreesia

  • No price is published: the vendor states pricing is customised to organisation size, workflows and products used, and is given only as a tailored quote
  • The current free access to the Intake platform is time limited and ends on 31 December 2026, with the rate that follows undisclosed
  • A buyer must book a demo before receiving any figure
