NexHealth starts at $350/month per feature with additional tiers available via custom quote — the public pricing isn't itemized. Intake.Dental runs tiered flat rates (Solo $79.99, Multi $179.99, Autopilot $799.99) with every feature included, plus a Full PMS replacement at a flat $500/month that is currently in development and available via waitlist. For most independent practices, Intake.Dental Autopilot includes more AI features at a lower total cost than a comparable NexHealth build.
Switching from NexHealth to Intake.Dental involves retraining staff on the AI clinical note workflows and multilingual AI receptionist — neither has a NexHealth equivalent. Reverse migration means losing AI-generated clinical notes and falling back to manual charting. Since both are operations layers rather than PMS replacements, your underlying PMS stays untouched either way.
No — both Intake.Dental (current tiered product) and NexHealth are operations layers that integrate with your existing PMS rather than replace it. Intake.Dental is also building a full PMS replacement at $500/mo flat that you can join the waitlist for on our pricing page.
Intake.Dental generates provider-style clinical notes that reach 95%+ accuracy after 30 days of learning. NexHealth does not publish an equivalent clinical documentation feature.
Intake.Dental handles 29 languages natively via voice AI, SMS, and forms — all auto-detected. NexHealth supports multilingual forms but requires manual customization per language.
No integration is perfect 100% of the time. NexHealth users have reported intermittent syncing hiccups. Intake.Dental's middleware approach uses retry logic and eventual-consistency handling, but perfect sync is never guaranteed on any platform.
NexHealth is the right choice if you've already standardized on their scheduling and online booking UX across locations and need contractual continuity. Intake.Dental is the right choice for any practice — solo, multi-location, or DSO — that wants clinical AI (notes, voice, multilingual intake), payments, in-house membership plans, and cross-location analytics bundled into one transparent flat rate instead of a per-feature menu.
NexHealth is a well-funded front-office automation platform serving DSOs and enterprise dental groups. Intake.Dental is a multilingual AI-powered operations platform that scales from solo practices to DSOs — clinical notes, 24/7 voice AI, insurance verification, payments, membership plans, and cross-location analytics in one tier.
