Modento — sold today as Dental Intelligence Engagement — is quote-only and priced per location, with the practical price often depending on whether it's bundled with Dental Intelligence analytics.
Intake.Dental publishes flat tiers — Solo $79.99 to Practice Autopilot $999.99 — with forms, texting, reminders and payments included at every level.
Modento was acquired by Dental Intelligence and is sold as Dental Intelligence Engagement. Availability standalone versus bundled varies by quote — ask explicitly if you don't want the analytics bundle.
For a standalone engagement platform, NexHealth is the closest match. For engagement plus automation of phones and insurance, Intake.Dental covers both sides on one bill.
No — it's patient engagement: forms, messaging, reminders, payments, loyalty. Calls and every insurance workflow remain staff work.
Forms and reminder rules migrate quickly on any modern platform; the PMS keeps the schedule and chart, so there's no data migration in the way.
Modento earned its following honestly, and inside Dental Intelligence it remains a capable engagement suite. If engagement is the whole requirement, compare it against NexHealth. If you're buying software to reduce staff workload, engagement is the start — the phone and the insurance back office are where the hours actually are.
Modento built a well-liked patient engagement suite — digital forms, two-way texting, reminders, payments, a loyalty program — and was acquired into Dental Intelligence, where it's now sold as Engagement. Practices shop for alternatives when they want the engagement features without the bundle, or when the need has grown past engagement into phones and insurance.
