What Weave Users Are Saying
From G2, Capterra, and dental forums.
"Weave costs us $380/mo and we still need to pay separately for insurance verification and billing software. Three bills, three logins."
Office Manager, 3-chair practice, Georgia
"Weave TrueLark can't actually book into our schedule — it just takes messages. We had to keep our answering service anyway."
Dr. Anita V., General Dentist, California
"When we switched to UpDental we kept our Dentrix and dropped Weave, Dental Intelligence, and AirPay. One platform, one login, lower bill."
Practice Owner, 2-location group, Texas
