Pricing, side by side
Praktika
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.
Oasis
Oasis does not publish a price. You have to request a quote, which means you cannot budget or compare before speaking to a salesperson. No figure published.

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.
