Praktika vs Oasis

Independent cloud against the big vendor. Praktika is cloud and Oasis is cloud or on-premise — usually the single biggest difference between them.

Choose Oasis if…

Practices that want a large, established vendor and are already in the Henry Schein orbit.

It is ahead on open api .

Pricing, side by side

Praktika

No published pricingchecked2026-08-01

Praktika does not publish a price. You have to request a quote, which means you cannot budget or compare before speaking to a salesperson. There is a pricing page, but it carries no figure.

We do not repeat third-party price estimates for quote-only vendors. Several widely republished figures in this category turned out to belong to a different product — see how we compare.

Strengths and trade-offs

Praktika

Strengths

  • Genuinely cloud-native and Australian-built, rather than a desktop product moved onto a server.
  • Claiming is tightly wired: health fund and Medicare rebates plus EFTPOS lodged directly from the appointment through HICAPS.
  • Imaging is native rather than a separate licence.

Trade-offs

  • No published pricing, despite having a page for it.
  • Smaller installed base than Dental4Windows, so fewer peers to ask and fewer third-party integrations.
  • Little public detail on the newer patient-facing features.

Oasis

Strengths

  • Long track record in Australian practices, with claiming and rebates well worn in.
  • Backed by Henry Schein One, so continuity is not in question.
  • Available cloud or on-premise.

Trade-offs

  • No published pricing.
  • Sold beside EXACT by the same parent — ask directly which product they are actually recommending and why.
  • Slower feature cadence than the cloud-native Australian entrants.
