GreatLab Alternative:
See the Price Before You Call
GreatLab is well regarded by its users, but hides pricing behind sales calls. SimpleLabOS: $29/mo. Period. No negotiations, no surprises, no "it depends on your lab size."

- Price varies by negotiation
- Demo required before quote
- Time investment before knowing cost
SimpleLabOS's Approach
- $29/mo — right on the website
- Same price for everyone
- Start free trial instantly
- Decide in minutes, not days

$29/mo means $348/year. No surprise price increases, no "your lab is bigger so we charge more."

Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't GreatLab show pricing on their website?
GreatLab requires you to contact sales to get pricing. This typically means the price varies based on negotiation or your lab size. SimpleLabOS believes in transparent pricing — $29/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?
Both platforms automate case intake. SimpleLabOS creates cases by parsing the notification emails your scanners already send — 3Shape, iTero, Medit and most others — plus 3Shape and exocad order-file import; it is not a live scanner API. 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 is typically better due to transparent $29/mo pricing, faster setup (about 15 minutes), and included inventory management. GreatLab's hidden pricing often targets larger operations.
Can I try both before deciding?
Yes! SimpleLabOS offers a 14-day free trial and GreatLab offers 30 days. We recommend trying both. The key question: Do you want to know the price upfront, or negotiate with sales?
Ready for Honest, Transparent Pricing?
$29/mo. No sales calls. No negotiations. Just software that works.
