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.

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
