Pricing, side by side
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.
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
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.
ClearDent
Strengths
- Built around Canadian billing, insurance workflows and regulatory requirements rather than adapted from a US product.
- Offered both cloud and on-premise, so the deployment decision is reversible without changing vendor.
- Unusually broad segment coverage for a Canadian vendor — solo through DSO, plus specialty and dental schools.
Trade-offs
- No published pricing.
- Breadth across that many segments usually means depth trade-offs somewhere; ask which segment the current release is optimised for.
- Several modules are not documented publicly in enough detail to compare.
