Evident is powerful, but it's built for giant milling centers. SimpleLabOS gives you the power you need without the bloat, complexity, or enterprise price tag.

Evident does not publish a list price. Its monthly cost is tiered by lab size and there is normally a separate implementation and training fee on top, and the specific figures circulating online contradict each other — so we do not repeat a number we cannot source. Ask Evident for a written quote covering the one-time fee, the monthly cost, and the contract term.
Spreadsheets are great for calculators, but terrible for running a business. See why small labs are upgrading to SimpleLabOS.

No "contact sales for pricing". We show our prices upfront. No hidden modules or surprise fees.
Built in 2026, not 2010. SimpleLabOS runs faster, looks better, and works perfectly on any device.
Switching cost is the real objection, so here is the unvarnished answer rather than a promise we cannot keep.
There is no Evident importer. SimpleLabOS cannot pull your cases, invoices, or case history out of Evident, and we do not have an onboarding team that does it by hand on your behalf. Closed history stays where it is.
Your price list does import. Products, prices, quantity tiers, and per-doctor pricing come in from an Excel spreadsheet — usually the most tedious part of standing up any new system.
Doctors and open cases go in directly. Most labs enter their doctor list and the cases still on the bench, then work forward from there rather than trying to recreate years of records.
Run both systems in parallel. Keep Evident live through the 14-day free trial and only cut over when SimpleLabOS is carrying your daily work. Take your Evident exports before you cancel anything.
Yes. Evident is designed for large enterprise labs with dozens of employees. SimpleLabOS is built specifically for small to medium labs (1-10 people) with features you actually need, without enterprise complexity.
SimpleLabOS starts at $29/month with a $0 setup fee, published on our pricing page. Evident is quoted rather than list-priced: the monthly figure is tiered by lab size and there is normally a separate implementation and training fee on top. We do not publish a number for it because the figures circulating online contradict each other — ask Evident for a written quote and compare it against our published price.
Yes, and it is included for free. Evident charges extra for their clinic portal module. Our dentist portal allows doctors to check case status and upload files without any additional cost.
Here is the honest version: SimpleLabOS has no data-import tool for Evident, and there is no onboarding team that performs a migration for you. The one importer we have is an Excel price-list import for products, prices, quantity tiers, and per-doctor pricing. Labs that move across typically enter their doctor list and their open cases directly, keep Evident running alongside SimpleLabOS through the 14-day free trial, and leave closed case history in Evident. Pull your Evident exports before you cancel anything. If you want to talk the switch through for your own lab, contact us and we will be straight about what is and is not possible.
