TrazaLab is built around remake prevention, with digital prescriptions and STL and DICOM review. SimpleLabOS is built around running the lab's day: getting paid, sending invoices to QuickBooks or Xero and moving cases along a production board. The two are priced close together, so this comes down to which workflow you need.
The gap is small, and plan sizes differ: our Starter includes 150 cases a month with 3 lab staff seats, and Standard 500 cases with 10 seats. TrazaLab prices are its published Lab Solo and Lab Pro plans, checked on trazalab.com/pricing on 2026-09-30. Please compare storage and limits on its site.

SimpleLabOS is built for the way modern dental labs actually work — visual, mobile, and fast.
Doctors can pay invoices by card through Stripe, and saved-card AutoPay charges when a case ships. Online payments are on every plan, currently live for US and Australian labs, with other countries on request.
Export invoices to QuickBooks or Xero on every plan, so the lab's accounting does not depend on retyping.
Each production step is a column. Scan a case barcode to mark the step done, and the last step sends the case to QC.
Referring dentists get free, unlimited logins on every plan and never count toward your lab staff seats.
TrazaLab's lab plans are Lab Solo at $49/mo and Lab Pro at $99/mo, with higher lab plans above them, and a 14-day trial with no card. SimpleLabOS is $29/mo, $69/mo or $149/mo depending on case volume and seats. The difference is $240 a year at the entry plan and $360 a year at the next one, which is real but modest. We would not choose between these two on price alone.
TrazaLab puts remake prevention at the centre: structured digital prescriptions, STL analysis and a DICOM workspace, all aimed at catching incomplete orders before they reach the bench. If your lab works closely with implant surgeons and CBCT files, that focus is a real strength. It also offers a 14-day trial without a card, which ours does not.
SimpleLabOS lets doctors pay invoices by card through Stripe (live for US and Australian labs today; other countries on request), supports saved-card AutoPay, and exports to QuickBooks and Xero, all on every plan. We did not find online payments or QuickBooks and Xero export listed on TrazaLab's lab plans; please confirm with the vendor.
SimpleLabOS's Scanner Inbox turns scan files that arrive by email into cases; it is email-based, not a direct scanner integration. On top of that we offer a production board where a barcode scan marks each step done, Owner, Manager and Designer roles and, on Pro, a customer API. The interface is available in English, Spanish, French and German.
We have no data-import tool for TrazaLab, and no onboarding team that migrates your records for you. Here is the path labs actually take instead.
Closed case history stays in TrazaLab. That is the honest trade-off, and it is worth knowing before you start rather than after.
Products, prices, quantity tiers, and per-doctor pricing import from a spreadsheet. This is the one importer SimpleLabOS has, and it is the part that would otherwise take you a weekend.
Your doctor list and the cases still in production get entered directly. There is no importer for these, so how long it takes depends on how much work is on your bench right now.
Keep your old system live through the 14-day free trial and cut over only once SimpleLabOS is carrying your day-to-day work. Pull your TrazaLab exports before you cancel anything.
Spreadsheets are great for calculators, but terrible for running a business. See why small labs are upgrading to SimpleLabOS.

Slightly: $29/mo against $49/mo at the entry plan and $69/mo against $99/mo at the next. The gap is small, and plan sizes differ, so compare storage and limits on both sites.
We did not find them listed on TrazaLab's lab plans; please confirm with the vendor. SimpleLabOS takes card payments through Stripe on every plan (live for US and Australian labs today; other countries on request) and exports to QuickBooks and Xero.
No. Scan files arrive by email into the Scanner Inbox (Standard and up) and become cases; there is no direct connection to scanner software.
No. SimpleLabOS has no data-import tool for other systems and no migration service that moves case history. The one importer we have is an Excel price-list import. Most labs enter their doctor list and open cases by hand, keep the old system running during the 14-day free trial, and leave closed case history where it is.
