Couldn't find pricing on API access for Eaglesoft but did find pricing for Dentrix. Kind of restrictive for the newcomer programmer: Plus READ with Insurance Claims $1,750 registration $25 per site/mo. Plus WRITE $5,000 registration $38 per site/mo. Plus SCHEDULING $5,000 registration $50 per site/mo.

Multi-Site Terminal Server Requirements

high implementation

Running Dentrix G7 across multiple dental offices requires a Windows terminal server setup since multi-site deployment is not natively supported. This adds infrastructure costs and complexity.

trustradius

Inability to run G7 at multiple sites without a terminal server setup and limited speeds.

Dentrix G7 also is not suited well for mutliple site dental offices as that is not technically supported. There is a work around requiring a Windows terminal server to setup Dentrix as a server application.

Enterprise Edition Upgrade for Multi-Site or FQHC Compliance

critical addon

Practices with multiple locations or federally qualified health centers (FQHC) requiring comprehensive data reporting must upgrade from G7 to Enterprise Edition, which significantly increases costs.

Limited capabilities for capturing demographic data for reporting purposes for FQHC's in the G7 version. (Enterprise Edition is needed for this)

Dentrix G7 is better suited for small private dental offices that are not doing federal FQHC data reporting every year. G7 doesn't allow for the full capturing of all FQHC data that is needed as the enterprise edition does.

Example: True Cost for 25 Users

License (25 × $1250 × 12) $375,000/yr
API Access and Integration Fees +$1,750-$5,000
Smart Image Partner Program Registration +$10,000-$50,000
Multi-Site Terminal Server Requirements +15-25% of license costs
Enterprise Edition Upgrade for Multi-Site or FQHC Compliance +$700/month
Estimated Year 1 Total ~$637,500
That's roughly 1.7× the advertised license price. The median Dentrix contract is $6,000/yr across Vendr purchases.
