Practice-Web
Budget on-premise practice management, priced openly and built on the Open Dental core.
Who it’s for
Cost-sensitive solo and two-chair practices that want a published price and do not need cloud access.

|---|---|---|
| First office — first 12 months regular price $199/month | $179/month | per office |
| First office — thereafter regular price $149/month | $129/month | per office |
| Additional office regular price $179/month | $129/month | per office |

Add-ons you will probably also buy
The base price above is not the bill. These are priced separately.
| Add-on | Price | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Auto and two-way texting includes 2,000 outgoing texts | $90/month | flat |
| Online scheduling | $119/month | flat |
| Smart Caller ID | $119/month | flat |
| Tablet patient forms | $65/month | flat |
| Online patient reviews | $69/month | flat |
| ePrescribing | $59/month | per provider |
| Teledentistry | $49/month | flat |
| Mass email marketing | $35/month | flat |
The pricing page openly attacks competitors for hiding their prices. Structure is near-identical to Open Dental’s, which is not a coincidence — the products share a lineage.

“Not stated” means the vendor does not say either way on its public site. We do not infer capability that isn’t documented.
What it does well
- One of only a handful of vendors that publishes a full price list, add-ons included.
- Among the cheapest credible options for a solo practice at $129/month after year one.
- Add-ons are month-to-month with free trials, so you can test before committing.
Where it falls short
- On-premise only — same server, backup and security burden as Open Dental.
- The base price is low because almost everything modern is an add-on; texting, booking, forms and reviews together add roughly $350/month.
- Smaller ecosystem and less third-party integration support than the market leaders.

Next step
Prices and features move. Before you commit, confirm the current figure with Practice-Web directly, and ask specifically what is not in the base price — that is where budgets slip in this category.
