Where each one falls short

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

Eaglesoft

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Patterson Dental's Eaglesoft page on 19 October 2019 confirmed the product is sold via 'Request more information' or phone with no price published, and directly integrates only with Sirona, Schick by Sirona (exclusive), Planmeca, Air Techniques, Instrumentarium, Soredex and Progeny imaging systems.

Kareo

  • Kareo is now part of Tebra and sold under the Tebra brand rather than as a standalone product
  • Tebra publishes no rate: pricing varies with provider count, features and implementation requirements and is quoted during a demo
  • Billing counts clinical providers such as MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs, so adding a prescriber raises the bill even though non clinical staff are free
  • Electronic prescribing of controlled substances setup costs about $75 per provider as a one time fee
  • PDMP integration costs $500 one time per facility plus about $50 per user per year
