Archy Review: Cloud Dental Practice Software at $899 a Month per Location

Archy is Archy Dental, Inc.’s cloud-based dental practice management software that runs scheduling, charting, imaging, insurance claims, payments and patient texting in one system. The price is public: $899/month per location for the platform, with unlimited users and providers (checked October 19, 2026). The AI scribe, voice perio charting and Pearl imaging are sold in separate suites, priced on request.

Quick verdict

Archy suits practices, startups in particular, that want one cloud system with a flat, published price and no server in the office. On Capterra, a few reviewers call it easy to use. A few like having their core work in one place, and a few praise the support team. The catch is evidence: Capterra has only six reviews, all from early 2026.

Before you sign, ask for the price of the Clinical and Front Office suites if you want the AI scribe, Pearl imaging or insurance verification, since the $899 platform price doesn’t include them. Ask for a business associate agreement (BAA) in writing, because the pages we saved don’t mention one. And ask how your X-rays and ledger will move over: two reviewers say transferring records from their old system was hard.

Archy at a glance

Archy is a browser-based dental PMS with a public platform price, one FDA 510(k) clearance for its imaging module, and vendor HIPAA claims but no BAA statement on the pages we saved. Capterra users rate it 4.7 out of 5, from a very small sample, as of October 19, 2026.

What is Archy?

Archy is a cloud-based practice management system for dental offices that the vendor says can replace 5+ separate products, covering patient care, patient communication, reporting and imaging. You reach it through a web browser, and there is a mobile app for checking the schedule away from the desk.

Archy says it hosts practice data in Amazon Web Services data centers, backs it up automatically across facilities in different time zones, and updates the software without downtime. It says the system works on slower internet, can run on a phone’s hotspot, and has an offline mode for taking images. If you leave, Archy says getting your data back costs nothing.

The home page puts numbers on its reach: 5.2 million+ patients served, 35,000+ active users and 60 million+ images processed. It also claims 80 hours saved per practice per month and $8,000 in yearly cost savings. Those are the vendor’s own figures, and our sources contain nothing that checks them. The site also says Archy raised a $50M Series C.

Key features

Archy’s features, as its pricing page lists them, cover the front office, clinical work, collections, patient messaging and practice reporting in the $899 platform. The AI agents and some partner tools sit in separate suites. The vendor’s list:

• Scheduling with an ASAP list, appointment finder, online forms, kiosk mode, document center, lab case tracking and a daily huddle
• Clinical charting, treatment planning, integrated imaging and clinical notes
• Insurance claim management with unlimited claim submissions and unlimited eligibility checks
• Billing, online and in-person payments with a point-of-sale system, text-to-pay, a patient wallet, cards on file and payment plans
• A/R reports that let staff text patients who owe money, one at a time or in bulk
• Patient portal, two-way, automated, MMS and bulk texting (unlimited), and email marketing; Archy says confirmations update the calendar as soon as a patient replies
• Online scheduling against the live calendar, review requests by text and tracking of referral sources
• Reporting, Ask Archy, advanced goal tracking, team chat, time tracking and a mobile app
• Clinical Suite (priced separately): AI Scribe for clinical note drafts, AI Voice Perio for charting perio by voice, and Clinical AI Imaging powered by Pearl
• Front Office Suite (priced separately): Archy Revenue, which Archy says matches claims and posts payments that came in as estimated; insurance verification powered by Vyne; and statement mailing automation
• Marketing Suite (priced separately): practice websites designed and hosted by Archy
• Add-ons: e-prescribing powered by DoseSpot, and an option to pass eligible card fees to patients

The home page also lists two AI agents marked “Coming soon”: Archy Verify for insurance verification and Archy Connect for patient communication.

Archy vs. what a practice management tool should have

Archy lists every item in the top tier of our practice management checklist except a BAA, which none of its saved pages mentions. It also publishes its price. The gaps are a documented open API and a described training program, and with six reviews, user evidence for any row is thin.

FDA status and privacy

Archy’s one FDA clearance covers its imaging module, not the whole practice management system. The FDA’s 510(k) database lists K251880, Archy Dental Imaging, from Archy Dental, Inc., cleared on November 21, 2025 as a Class II medical image management and processing system (product code LLZ, radiology panel).

The FDA’s indications for use describe it as internet-based image management software (PACS) that lets dental offices keep records of hard and soft tissue charts as digital images. It covers acquiring images from standard dental imaging devices or uploading them from the user’s computer, editing them (zoom, contrast, rotation), storing, exporting and displaying them, and it is designed to provide images for diagnostic use. We searched the FDA’s 510(k) and PMA databases (through openFDA) on October 19, 2026 and found no other entry under Archy’s name.

Two points from Archy’s own 510(k) summary, on file with the FDA, help set expectations. It names Curve Dental’s Curve Image 2.0 as the predicate device, and it says “Diagnosis is not performed by this software but by doctors and other qualified individuals.” The cleared use doesn’t describe AI analysis of radiographs. The AI imaging in Archy’s Clinical Suite is powered by Pearl, a separate company, and Pearl’s FDA records were outside the data for this review.

On privacy, Archy says it uses HIPAA-compliant Amazon Web Services infrastructure, and its cloud page claims ISO 9001 and SSAE 18 certifications, intrusion detection and encryption. Our sources include no certificate or audit report behind those claims, and no SOC 2 or HITRUST report. Archy’s privacy policy, last updated February 2, 2026, says it does not cover patient information Archy processes for practices, which it handles only on the practice’s instructions. The same policy says Archy shares patient phone numbers with Twilio to send texts, after the practice gets the patient’s consent, and that it does not sell personal information. No page we saved mentions a BAA, so ask for one before you move patient records.

Pricing

Archy’s platform costs $899/month per location, with unlimited users, providers, claim submissions, eligibility checks and texting, according to its pricing page (checked October 19, 2026). The page says there is no seat-based or provider-based pricing. New practices that qualify may get $400/month per location until they reach 400 patients or for 1 year.

The AI and partner tools cost extra. The Clinical Suite (AI Scribe, AI Voice Perio, Pearl imaging), the Front Office Suite (Archy Revenue, Vyne insurance verification, statement mailing), the Marketing Suite (websites) and add-ons such as DoseSpot e-prescribing are all priced on request. Card processing fees aren’t published either; the payments page says only that rates are always competitive.

The pricing page quotes one customer, Dr. Christine Liu, as saving close to 10 hours per week on EOB processing and 5 hours per week with text automations. That’s a testimonial on the vendor’s site. None of the Capterra reviews we read mentions the price.

Pros (from user reviews)

The praise on Capterra centers on how easy Archy is to use, having the whole office in one system, and the support team. Keep the size in mind: Capterra lists six reviews, all from dental offices and all written between February 26 and April 16, 2026, so these are a handful of opinions about the current version.

• A few reviewers say Archy is easy to use, and two say it is easy to teach to new staff, including one dentist who says this holds for staff without a dental background.
• Having scheduling, communication, billing and clinical work in one platform comes up in a few reviews. One practice administrator says they switched because Archy was simple and all-in-one, without multiple vendors to deal with.
• A few reviewers praise the support team as responsive or easy to reach, and a few say Archy listens to feedback and changes the product.
• Two reviewers like the built-in texting, online forms and reminders. One dentist who manages the office says autoverification, forms and reminders save front desk time and that patients love the digital forms.
• The same dentist credits the payment plans, kiosk and card on file for making it easy to collect money, and calls the mobile app very convenient.
• One dentist, in an otherwise mixed review, likes the Pearl AI feature for patient education.

Cons (from user reviews)

The complaints about Archy on Capterra center on moving records from the old system, the billing ledger and a learning curve, each raised by two reviewers. The only three-star review, from a dentist, adds slowness, hard-to-reach support and a detailed list of charting and X-ray problems. With six reviews, one person’s experience carries a lot of weight.

• Two reviewers say transferring records was hard. One dentist had trouble moving X-rays in particular; a dentist who left Denticon after more than 20 years writes, “Transfer of records from previous software was difficult but doable.”
• The billing and ledger side draws criticism from two reviewers. One says the ledger works differently from most dental software and takes time to learn; the other says Archy is working on updates after their feedback.
• Two describe a learning curve, one during setup and the move, the other getting used to how dental notes are done after Open Dental. Two also call it a young system whose features are still evolving.
• One office manager says complex insurance workflows sometimes need workarounds and writes, “Reporting could also be more robust and customizable.”
• One dentist says customer service is not readily available and that “The system slows down sometime and disrupts work.”
• The same dentist lists charting problems: watch marks on the odontogram get hidden under fillings or crowns, some status colors look too alike, changing a filling’s surfaces means deleting and re-entering the code, and there is no history view for a single tooth. They also say X-ray templates make it slow to compare images of a tooth over time.
• One practice administrator with no complaints still wants customizable paperwork, a dark mode and more auditing settings.

Capterra doesn’t flag any of the six reviews as incentivized.

Who it’s for

Archy fits practices that want one cloud system with a published price, built-in texting and payments, and no server to maintain. Startups get the clearest deal: $400/month per location for those that qualify. The vendor also markets to group practices and multi-location DSOs, and pricing per location makes the math easy to check.

A few reviewers came from Open Dental, and one from Denticon, so the reviews speak most to that kind of move. If your clinical team leans hard on the odontogram or compares X-rays of a tooth over time, ask for a demo of those exact screens, since one dentist found them slow to use. If you plan to use AI notes, voice perio or Pearl, get the suite prices in writing first. And because the review base is so small, ask Archy for references from practices like yours.

FAQ

How this review was put together

We didn’t use Archy ourselves. Our Archy review draws on seven of Archy’s web pages, the FDA’s 510(k) and PMA databases and the K251880 decision document, and all six Archy reviews on Capterra, written between February 26 and April 16, 2026. All sources were checked on October 19, 2026.

The vendor pages were the home page, pricing, growth, payments, cloud benefits, partners and privacy policy. The FDA search ran through openFDA, by applicant and by device name. A review theme counted only when a review stated it, and with a sample this small the article sticks to the words one, two and a few. We didn’t look for published studies, since this is practice management software.
