CareStack
Cloud all-in-one aimed at growing groups, with published tier pricing.
Who it’s for
Multi-location groups that want one vendor for practice management, RCM and engagement.
What CareStack costs
| Plan | Price | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials per location | $829/month | starting at |
| Intelligence per location | $1,299/month | starting at |
Both tiers are "starting at" figures, so the quoted price will vary with practice size. Review sites widely cite "$698/user/month" — that figure does not appear anywhere on CareStack’s own pricing page.

“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
- Publishes tier pricing, which almost no other group-focused cloud vendor does.
- Very broad native feature set — RCM, engagement, analytics and imaging in one contract.
- Built for multi-location reporting from the start rather than retrofitted.
Where it falls short
- "Starting at" means the real quote is negotiated; budget above the published figure.
- Substantially more expensive than the on-premise options for a single small practice.
- Breadth comes with depth trade-offs — specialist modules are less mature than dedicated tools.
Compare CareStack against…
- CareStack vs Denticon — All-in-one growth platform vs enterprise DSO system
- CareStack vs Oryx Dental Software — Two all-in-one clouds that both publish prices
- CareStack vs Dentrix Ascend — Published tiers against a quote-only incumbent
- CareStack vs Denticon — Enterprise scale vs all-in-one breadth
Next step
Prices and features move. Before you commit, confirm the current figure with CareStack directly, and ask specifically what is not in the base price — that is where budgets slip in this category.
