  • Patient-facing membership fees on the Kleer platform averaged $30/month or $360/year, per a case-study figure on the vendor's own homepage (Internet Archive capture, 16 December 2021); Kleer's own software fee to the dental practice is not stated

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
