Which one fits
Pick Omni
you want recall lists and patient replies drafted for staff approval, not sent on a schedule.
Pick Weave
you want phones, texting, forms, payments, and reviews in one platform now.
Use both
keep Weave for phones and forms. Omni drafts run beside it after a scoped setup. Do not run duplicate recall campaigns.

Estimate only, for a dental practice business. It is not a promise or a customer result. Staff hours count as freed capacity, not cash, unless you cut hours. Custom Build from $4,500 a month changes the payback month.
Assumptions and sources for this estimate
The math is the cautious case from Omni value model v3 (model.py, October 21, 2026). Industry defaults on this page: 46 inbound calls a week for a small business, 20 percent missed, an average first job of $150, a 53 percent gross margin, and $1038 a month of tools today. Size changes call volume, staff counts, agency spend, and tool spend by the model factors (small 1, mid-size 2.5, multi-location 6 for calls and tools).
Pay rates are US Bureau of Labor Statistics medians (May 2025): receptionists $18.27 an hour, dispatchers $24.20, administrative assistants $22.86, and bookkeeping clerks $24.36, loaded by 1.429 because BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (June 2026) puts wages at 70 percent of private employer compensation cost. Agency defaults follow the model sources: SE Ranking and Ahrefs SEO pricing surveys, Sprout Social, WebFX, and ClicksGeek (vendor estimates, 2023 to 2026). An owner hour is valued at $75. Omni prices are from the pricing page. Your numbers will differ. Run your own on the cost calculator.

Details
Details: tool prices, where each side is stronger, and what stays with you
Where Weave is stronger today
VoIP phones (up to 15 on Ultimate), two-way and bulk texting, online scheduling, digital forms, missed-call texting, waitlist, reviews, email marketing, text-to-pay, recall, and dental-only insurance verification and practice analytics (getweave.com/pricing, read Oct 21, 2026). Omni offers none of the phone hardware.
Where Omni is different
Every patient message is a draft first. Scheduling, recall, and record changes wait for staff approval, and each decision is recorded. Clinical records stay in your practice system, and no health compliance certification is claimed.
Frequently asked questions
Does Omni replace Weave?
No. Phones, forms, payments, and reviews stay in Weave or your current tools. Omni drafts recall and front-desk messages for staff approval in a scoped setup.
Does Omni connect to Weave or our practice system?
We confirm the required account actions before setup and check apps, permissions, and records first. A catalog listing does not confirm a working connection for your practice.
What does Weave cost beyond $199?
Its pricing page shows plans starting from $199 a month and asks for a quote on Pro, Elite, and Ultimate (getweave.com/pricing, read Oct 21, 2026). Bulk texting allotments run from 1,500 to 15,000 messages by tier.
Is there a free workspace for dental?
No self-serve workspace is offered here. Health and dental starts with Request access so we can scope the practice first.
