The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Practice-Web each dentist beyond 3 adds $20 per month to the practice management subscription; Visage Imaging pricing is per exam against a minimum annual volume, so an organisation whose imaging activity is flat pays a floor while a growing one sees the software line rise every year rather than amortise.
  • They diverge on capability: Practice-Web covers Web-based scheduling, Visage Imaging covers Server-side rendering.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Practice-Web

  • Each dentist beyond 3 adds $20 per month to the practice management subscription
  • The first office plan is $179 per month for the first 12 months and then $129 per month, against regular rates of $199 and $149
  • Migrating from existing practice management software costs a one-off $1,195 database conversion fee
  • Additional intensive web-based training is billed at $75 per hour
  • Two-way texting is a separate $90 per month add-on that includes 2,000 outgoing texts per month, with additional outgoing texts at 5 cents each
  • Mass email marketing is a separate $35 per month add-on covering up to 5,000 patients, with each additional block of 5,000 costing $20 per month, and it requires a texting subscription
  • Online scheduling, Smart Caller ID, online patient reviews, tablet patient forms and teledentistry are each separately priced monthly add-ons
  • ePrescribing is charged per provider at $59 per month plus a $99 setup fee
  • Electronic claims are billed at $0.39 per claim plus $25 per month for attachments and $20 per month for real-time eligibility checks, through third party DentalXChange
  • Support renewal carries a 12-month minimum term
  • Patient payment plans through DocPay charge the patient $3 per payment, or 1% plus $1 per payment for guaranteed plans

Visage Imaging

  • Pricing is per exam against a minimum annual volume, so an organisation whose imaging activity is flat pays a floor while a growing one sees the software line rise every year rather than amortise.
  • Module breadth outside radiology is narrower than at Sectra or the large modality vendors, so a group planning to digitise pathology on the same platform will not find it here.
  • Server-side rendering shifts the cost to central infrastructure, so the saving on radiologist workstations is partly offset by what you spend on servers or cloud compute.
  • Pro Medicus concentrates on very large contracts, and smaller imaging groups report long sales cycles and little appetite from the vendor for deals below a certain volume.
  • Diagnostic AI is third party, surfaced through the accelerator framework rather than developed in house, so algorithm licensing, validation and monitoring remain the buyer problem.
