In United Kingdom: NHS-certified (listed by NHS BSA as “Exact”). The most-searched UK dental software after Dentally.

Who it’s for

Established NHS and mixed practices that value ecosystem breadth and easy hiring over price transparency.

What EXACT costs

No published pricingchecked2026-08-01

EXACT 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 anywhere on the site.

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.

What’s built in

11 of the 19 modules we track are included in the core product, 3 are paid add-ons.

“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

  • The largest installed base in UK dentistry — staff arrive already knowing it, and almost every UK dental product integrates with it.
  • NHS claiming and UDA reporting are long-established and well understood, which matters more than any feature list for an NHS practice.
  • Backed by Henry Schein One, with a large partner ecosystem.

Where it falls short

  • No published pricing.
  • A mature product carrying a lot of history; the interface shows its age next to the cloud-native entrants.
  • Sold with support and hardware bundles, so the quoted figure is rarely just software.

Next step

Prices and features move. Before you commit, confirm the current figure with EXACT directly, and ask specifically what is not in the base price — that is where budgets slip in this category.
