| Core product | Dental AI operations layer: voice receptionist, clinical notes, insurance suite, patient comms and reviews | Reviews, reputation, webchat, two-way texting and payments for general local businesses |
| Pricing | All-in tiers with no per-message or per-provider fees: Solo $79.99, Multi $179.99, AI Receptionist $499, Autopilot $999.99/mo | Custom quote, commonly reported around $399+/mo for Core; AI, extra users and messaging typically billed as add-ons |

| AI languages | 24/7 AI voice receptionist and intake in 29 languages | AI text/messaging assistance; primarily English-focused, not a multilingual dental voice agent |
| Phone system | AI voice receptionist that answers calls on your existing phone lines — no rip-and-replace | Primarily text and webchat messaging; call handling centered on summaries rather than a voice agent |
| Setup time | 60-second self-serve setup, no hardware | Sales-led onboarding, commonly on an annual contract |
Multilingual digital intake forms that write back bidirectionally into 60+ dental PMS systems, with a PDF-email fallback for any PMS.
General messaging and forms geared to broad local-business use, without dental PMS clinical writeback.
Two-way SMS and email, automated reminders and recall, text-to-pay, plus a 24/7 AI voice receptionist in 29 languages — all tuned for dental scheduling and patient flow.
Strong two-way texting, webchat and reviews with AI messaging assistance; communication is the core strength, but it is general-purpose rather than dental-aware.
Dental-trained AI across the visit: voice receptionist, SOAP clinical notes (95%+ after ~30 days), insurance automation and virtual consults.
AI focused on messaging and reputation — lead qualification by text, review-reply drafting and call summaries — not clinical documentation or insurance.
60+ dental PMS platforms, bidirectional, with no per-integration fees, so scheduling, charting and billing stay in sync.
Connects to common CRMs and business apps; not a dental PMS-integrated clinical or insurance system.
Intake.Dental uses flat, all-in monthly tiers with no per-message or per-provider fees: Solo $79.99, Multi $179.99, AI Receptionist $499, and Autopilot $999.99. Podium does not publish pricing and quotes custom deals; Core plans are commonly reported around $399+/mo, with AI features, additional users and messaging volume frequently billed as add-ons, often on an annual contract. For a dental practice, Intake.Dental delivers voice, clinical and insurance capabilities inside those flat tiers rather than as line-item upgrades.
Getting started with Intake.Dental takes about 60 seconds and no hardware — it connects to your existing phones and your current PMS out of 60+ supported systems, so there is nothing to rip out. If you are moving off Podium, you can keep using it for reviews during the switch; Intake.Dental covers reviews and reminders too, so most practices consolidate once the AI voice receptionist and intake are live.

Podium is a capable general-business platform when online reviews and text messaging are your priority across many industries. But a dental practice runs on more than reputation and texting. Intake.Dental is built by a dentist specifically for dentistry, pairing reviews and reminders with a 24/7 AI voice receptionist in 29 languages, AI clinical notes, and a full insurance suite — all on your existing phones and PMS, at flat all-in pricing from $79.99/mo. For dental, that depth is the difference.
Podium is a solid multi-industry platform for online reviews, webchat and two-way texting across retail, home services and healthcare.
