The short version

  • Each has a real cost: OrthoTrac orthoTrac support has moved off Carestream Dental's own site to a third-party portal, gosensei.com, and OrthoTrac customer contact is now booked only through a Calendly scheduling link rather than a phone number or online purchase path, per Carestream Dental's own site.; Zanda Health the 2024 rename from Power Diary means most third party reviews, integration guides and community answers still sit under the old name, so buyers researching Zanda Health find a thin trail and may wrongly conclude it is a new and unproven product.
  • They diverge on capability: OrthoTrac covers Orthodontic treatment planning, Zanda Health covers Unlimited admin users.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

OrthoTrac

  • OrthoTrac support has moved off Carestream Dental's own site to a third-party portal, gosensei.com, and OrthoTrac customer contact is now booked only through a Calendly scheduling link rather than a phone number or online purchase path, per Carestream Dental's own site.

Zanda Health

  • The 2024 rename from Power Diary means most third party reviews, integration guides and community answers still sit under the old name, so buyers researching Zanda Health find a thin trail and may wrongly conclude it is a new and unproven product.
  • North American billing is not properly served: there is no claims clearinghouse and superbill handling is basic, so a United States practice will need a separate revenue cycle tool and will pay for two systems.
  • Pricing is quoted in United States dollars while the company, support hours and product depth are Australian, so buyers outside those two time zones get support with an overnight lag on urgent clinical scheduling problems.
  • SMS is billed per message beyond the plan allowance and a dedicated number is required in the United States and Canada, so a busy clinic sending reminders and follow ups accumulates a variable monthly cost that is not visible in the headline plan price.
  • Reporting is adequate for a single clinic but weak for a group: cross site financial consolidation and practitioner productivity comparison generally end up exported to a spreadsheet, which becomes a monthly manual job as soon as you pass a handful of locations.

Yes, Medicare Online, DVA and bulk billing claims are submitted from within the platform for Australian practices.
