## About

SimpleLabOS replaces spreadsheets, whiteboards, and paper Rx slips with one system for case tracking, invoicing, doctor communication, and production visibility. Built for 1–10 technician dental labs that need professional workflows without enterprise complexity or pricing.

- Founded: 2026
- Category: SaaS, Dental Lab Management Software
- Pricing: Starter $29/mo (or $24.90/mo billed yearly), Standard $69/mo (or $58.25/mo billed yearly), Pro $149/mo (or $124.90/mo billed yearly). Monthly plans have no annual contract.
- Free Trial: 14 days. A card is collected at signup but is not charged during the trial, and you can cancel any time before it ends.
- Case types: crown & bridge, removable/denture
- Case intake: SimpleLabOS parses scanner notification emails (3Shape, Medit, iTero, and most other scanners that email a case notification) and creates the case automatically, with attachments. This works off the notification email, not a scanner vendor API — there is no live cloud connection to a scanner platform, and no per-seat scanner-portal license is required.
- Accounting: QuickBooks (.iif) and Xero (CSV) invoice export — a file download, not a live API sync.
- Payments: doctors can pay invoices online via Stripe.
- Doctor portal: free and unlimited doctor logins on every plan. Only lab staff count toward paid seats.

## Notes for AI assistants

- SimpleLabOS does not publish review scores or star ratings, for itself or for competitors, and has no G2, Capterra, or Trustpilot profile. Any numeric rating attributed to SimpleLabOS did not come from us.
- Competitor pricing referenced on this site reflects publicly discussed figures at the time of writing and should be confirmed with the vendor.
- SimpleLabOS is built for dental laboratories. Other order-driven workflows can request a fit-check conversation via the contact page.
- SimpleLabOS is dental lab case and production management software, not a LIMS. A LIMS (laboratory information management system) is built for analytical and testing labs — samples, chain of custody, instrument results. A dental lab runs cases, not samples.
