Open Dental plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $169/month | 5 | Entry tier |
| Cloud | $249/month | 5 | +$80/month, 5 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Standard
$169/monthThe entry tier. It covers full software access, unlimited workstations, technical support, free updates, database hosting option.
Cloud
$249/monthOver Standard, this tier adds:
- Everything in Standard
- Cloud hosting
- Automatic backups
- Remote access
- Enhanced security

People bring Open Dental in for practice management, charting and scheduling for dental offices, dental insurance claims, billing and treatment planning, running an open source dental system with direct database access. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Open Dental are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Open Dental
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $169/month and $249/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Open Dental against the tools that do have one before committing.
Open Dental runs on windows, web, api, and is published by Open Dental Software Inc of Salem, OR. The full record is on the Open Dental review.
Open Dental pricing questions
- How much does Open Dental cost?
- Open Dental publishes 2 tiers, from $169/month for Standard up to $249/month for Cloud. The cheapest paid tier is $169/month.
- Does Open Dental have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Open Dental is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Standard and Cloud on Open Dental?
- Cloud costs $249/month against $169/month, and adds everything in standard, cloud hosting, automatic backups, remote access.
- Is the Cloud plan on Open Dental worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is everything in standard, cloud hosting, automatic backups, remote access. It costs $249/month against $169/month for Standard. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Open Dental?
- The record lists 27 features across 6 areas: core, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for practice management, charting and scheduling for dental offices, dental insurance claims, billing and treatment planning, running an open source dental system with direct database access.
- Does Open Dental charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Open Dental prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Open Dental against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Open Dental to make a useful price comparison.
