Pricing, side by side
Dentally
Dentally does not publish a price. You have to request a quote, which means you cannot budget or compare before speaking to a salesperson. Dentally has a dedicated Canadian pricing page headed “Affordable pricing for every dental practice”, listing Standard, Advanced and Advanced+ tiers in a feature table — and no figure anywhere on it. Both buttons go to Contact sales. The same vendor publishes full prices on its UK page.
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.
Tracker
Tracker 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. The site has no pricing page at all — /pricing/ returns 404.

Strengths and trade-offs
Dentally
Strengths
- True cloud with CDAnet claims and predeterminations handled natively.
- Backed by Henry Schein One, so it is not going away and the integration marketplace is large.
- Sold across several countries, which usually means the platform gets sustained investment.
Trade-offs
- Publishes a pricing page with three named tiers and no prices on it — you cannot compare it on cost without a sales call.
- Tier boundaries are described by feature list, so which tier you actually need is decided in the sales conversation.
- Newer in Canada than the entrenched local systems, so fewer peers to ask.
Tracker
Strengths
- Claims support is the most explicitly documented of any Canadian system here: CDAnet version 4, ITRANS 2.0 and EDI attachments are all named.
- Canadian company with a long track record — in the market since 1993.
- Contactless payments and eServices patient communication are part of the product rather than a third-party bolt-on.
Trade-offs
- No published pricing, and no pricing page to request one from.
- The site does not state whether the product is cloud or on-premise, which is the first question a buyer should be able to answer.
- Imaging appears to rely on integration rather than a native module.
