Why Choose Transparent Pricing?

No demos, no sales calls, no waiting for quotes. See the price, start the trial, decide in minutes.
Budget Certainty
$39/mo means $468/year. Published prices, and no "your lab is bigger so we charge more."
Fair for Everyone
A 2-person lab pays the same as a 10-person lab. No penalty for growing, no advantage for negotiating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't GreatLab show pricing on their website?
GreatLab does not publish its prices on its website, so you have to ask the vendor for a quote. SimpleLabOS believes in transparent pricing — $39/mo for everyone, no surprises.
Is GreatLab better because it has strong user reviews?
Review scores are only part of the picture, and they say little about how a product fits a small dental lab. The practical questions are: can you see the price before booking a sales call, can you try it before committing, and is there a setup fee or an annual contract? SimpleLabOS publishes its pricing openly and starts with a free trial you can cancel any time.
Does SimpleLabOS have the same automation features as GreatLab?
Not the same, and we would rather be exact about it. SimpleLabOS reads the notification emails your scanner platforms already send and lands them in Scanner Inbox (Email Imports) with everything it could read already filled in — you create the case from that row in one click. A Medit Link order request usually brings the patient and the tooth numbers with it; a 3Shape Communicate notice brings the practice, the doctor and a link to the case, and you finish the entry from there. The case form also accepts a 3Shape or exocad order file and prefills what it can read. Medit Link and DS Core connect directly; there is no live API connection to iTero or 3Shape. Inventory tracking is included on every SimpleLabOS plan. What GreatLab covers depends on the package they quote you, so confirm the specifics with them.
Which is better for a small lab: GreatLab or SimpleLabOS?
For small labs (1-10 techs), SimpleLabOS offers published $39/mo pricing, setup in about 15 minutes, and included inventory management. GreatLab does not publish its prices, so ask the vendor for a quote at your lab size and compare.
Can I try both before deciding?
Yes. SimpleLabOS offers a 14-day free trial. GreatLab's "Start for free" gives you a demo environment, provided after a review by its onboarding team, with no credit card. We recommend trying both. The key question: do you want to know the price upfront, or ask for a quote?
Ready for Honest, Transparent Pricing?
