Archy

Archy is the clearest example of the all-in-one cloud approach: one flat price, and most of what a front desk uses already inside. At $899 per location it is at the top of published entry prices, but that figure includes unlimited users, two-way texting, online scheduling, forms, payments and claim submission, which are extras almost everywhere else.

The company is growing fast — $97M raised across four rounds, including a $50M Series C that closed in September 2026 — but the product is still young on independent review sites, the newest AI agents are add-ons, and it is a closed platform: we found no third-party tool that lists it as a supported integration. It fits a practice that wants simplicity and is comfortable running on Archy's own modules rather than a best-of-breed stack.

What Archy is

Archy is a cloud-based practice management platform for dental offices, used in a browser with a companion mobile app. The company states it serves roughly 1,000 practices across 45 states and processes more than $300M in patient payments a year; these are vendor-disclosed figures, not independently audited.

The platform price covers scheduling, online forms and kiosk mode, clinical charting, treatment planning, integrated imaging, clinical notes, online scheduling and review requests, claim management with unlimited submissions, billing, online and in-person payments, text-to-pay, a patient portal, unlimited two-way and bulk texting, email marketing, reporting, team chat and time tracking.

Pricing: published, flat — but confirm it before you budget

Archy's own pricing page and a third-party SaaS pricing tracker that snapshots it both show a flat platform price, most recently checked in 2026.

One caveat worth flagging: a separate third-party pricing tracker (ToolRadar) lists a different, tiered structure for Archy — a Silver plan around $535/mo up to a Platinum plan around $1,345/mo — which conflicts with the flat-price model above. We could not independently resolve which structure is current at the vendor; it's possible the tiered figures are stale, mis-mapped from a different product, or reflect a newer packaging change. Confirm the live number with Archy sales before you budget, and treat any number you read online, including ours, as a starting point rather than a quote.

Over three years the $899 platform price alone costs $32,364 per location — the highest published total among the systems in our cost guide — so the real question is what it replaces. Add up what you pay today for the practice management system, server and IT, patient texting, online forms, online scheduling and a clearinghouse; for many offices the sum lands in the same range. Two things to ask regardless of which pricing model is current: the price of each add-on suite, since the AI features are not in the base price, and whether data conversion and onboarding are included.

Where Archy is strong

• Simple, predictable pricing — if the flat-price model is still current. No per-user or per-provider fees, which suits offices with part-time staff and several hygienists.
• Fewer vendors. Texting, reminders, forms, online booking, payments and claims come from one system with one login.
• Built-in imaging. 2D capture is part of the product, with TWAIN support for existing sensors, so there is no imaging bridge to maintain.
• Start-up offer. $400 a month for a new practice is one of the few published start-up rates in the market.
• Well capitalized. $97M raised to date, including a $50M Series C led by JMI Equity that closed in September 2026, with existing investors TCV, Bessemer, CRV, Entrée Capital and Alven also participating. That funding is going mainly into the AI agents (Archy Revenue for claims and collections, AI scribe, AI voice perio), so the product roadmap looks well funded even where today's reviews are thin.
• Ease of use. The small number of public reviews are mostly from front-office users who praise the interface, vendor support and the time saved.

Where it falls short

• AI is extra, and partly unreleased. The AI scribe, voice perio and imaging analysis sit in the Clinical Suite add-on. Archy's website lists AI insurance verification and AI patient communication agents as coming soon.
• Closed ecosystem. None of the products in our database lists Archy as a supported system, and we could not verify a public API. If you depend on a particular AI receptionist, analytics dashboard or verification tool, check whether it can connect.
• Thin, inconsistent review record. Capterra and Software Advice each show about 6 reviews at roughly 4.7/5. G2 is less clear: one G2 page shows 7 reviews at 4.1, another shows only 3 reviews at 3.8, and G2's own product page says there aren't enough reviews yet for its buying-insight feature. None of these samples is large enough to treat as settled, and the spread between platforms is wide enough to be worth noting rather than averaging away. One detailed clinician review criticizes the tooth chart, the visibility of tooth history and X-ray management.
• Pricing you read online may not match what you're quoted. We found two different pricing structures attributed to Archy from two different trackers; get the number in writing from Archy, not from any review site including this one.
• Imaging beyond 2D. The sensor page covers intraoral sensors, cameras and phosphor plates. It does not mention panoramic or CBCT capture.
• Data migration. Reviewers mention effort during conversion, especially moving X-rays.

Archy alternatives to compare

• CareStack, another all-in-one cloud system, from $829 a month with a larger review base.
• Oryx, from $650 a month for up to two providers, with a $0 start-up offer.
• Curve Dental, quote-only but with 20 years in the cloud and thousands of completed conversions.
• tab32, the lowest published cloud price at $125 a month in year one.

Bottom line

Archy is a strong option for a new or small practice that wants to pay one bill and keep the software stack simple, backed by a well-funded company that is visibly investing in its AI roadmap. Before signing: get the base price and every add-on price in writing (don't rely on any published figure, including ours, given the conflicting numbers we found online), confirm your imaging hardware is supported, ask for two reference practices of your size that converted from your current system, and ask how you would export your data if you left. Given the thin and inconsistent review record, weight a live reference call or demo more heavily than any star rating you read, including Archy's own.

What users say about Archy

Summarized by us from the public reviews on Capterra (6 reviews, overall around 4.7/5) and Software Advice (6 reviews, 4.7/5), with G2 showing a lower, less consistent number across its own pages (roughly 4.1 from 7 reviews on one G2 page, 3.8 from 3 reviews on another). Checked November 4, 2026. This is still a small, inconsistent sample across platforms; treat it as early impressions, not a settled verdict. Themes are paraphrased, not quoted.
