Praktika
Australian-built cloud system, browser-based since long before that was fashionable here.

In Australia: HICAPS-integrated: health fund and Medicare claims and EFTPOS payments can be lodged straight from a completed appointment.
Who it’s for
Practices that want Australian-built cloud with claiming handled properly.
What Praktika costs
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.

14 of the 19 modules we track are included in the core product.

“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
- 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.
Where it falls short
- 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.
Compare Praktika against…
- Praktika vs Dental4Windows — The incumbent against the Australian-built cloud
- Praktika vs Core Practice — Two Australian clouds, neither publishing a price
- Praktika vs Dentally — The UK import against the local cloud
- Praktika vs Oasis — Independent cloud against the big vendor
Next step
Prices and features move. Before you commit, confirm the current figure with Praktika directly, and ask specifically what is not in the base price — that is where budgets slip in this category.
