Number of Seats/Users: DENTECH offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows DENTECH that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from DENTECH. DENTECH reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: DENTECH offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from DENTECH. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: DENTECH often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that DENTECH tends to perform very well on the financial and reporting side, while perceptions of usability and modern features are more mixed.

Main pain points our clients report
Our internal data shows recurring themes around:

• User interface and workflow
• Some clients call the interface “outdated”
• Too many clicks to get to common screens
• Clinical notes and patient ledgers seen as hard to read

– They budget for training and process tweaks
– They are on the latest DENTECH generation with paperless features enabled
– When we negotiate, we typically push for:
– Discounts tied to upgrades and modern modules
– Clear SLAs for support and performance, given the mixed experiences shared by Spendbase clients.
