How we chose
- 01We read each vendor’s own pricing and plan pages on 30 September 2026.
- 02Most dental communication tools don’t publish prices, so we compare what each plan includes: phones, texting limits, booking, forms, payments and contracts.
- 03Integration claims are the vendor’s own — confirm yours works with your practice management system before signing.
- 04We left out tools whose pages we couldn’t read reliably, and we don’t publish review-site scores we didn’t verify.
- 05Weave may pay us a referral fee if you sign up through our link. That never changes the facts above, and every claim links to its source.
