Sunbit or Denefits: which should you choose?
Both offer patient payment plans with a high advertised approval rate, but the numbers are vendor claims and the terms differ.
Sunbit advertises 87% approval with a soft credit check, no late fees, no deferred interest, a $20,000 ceiling, APR up to 35.99% for weaker credit and practice fees from 1.9%. It is rated 4.9 on 140 reviews.
Denefits advertises 98% approval with no credit check and practice fees from 3%, and claims about 1,500 customers. Its public review base is only six reviews, at 3.7, so there is little independent evidence yet.
Before you rely on either approval figure, ask who bears the loss if a patient stops paying, what a patient is charged beyond the treatment fee, and how fast you are paid. Many practices pair a plan like Sunbit with a card product for patients who prefer it: see CareCredit vs Cherry vs Sunbit and our no-credit-check financing guide.
