Apteryx
- Apteryx is now sold as the cloud imaging product inside the Planet DDS portfolio rather than as a standalone vendor
- No price is published for Apteryx cloud imaging; Planet DDS routes all pricing enquiries to sales or a demo request
- Practice management is a separate purchase, Denticon or Cloud 9, so imaging alone does not cover charting and billing
