A practical guide
What to compare before you switch
A practical starting point for comparing providers, preparing questions and agreeing a clear scope of work.
| What to ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What does migration actually involve? | Moving years of patient records is the hard part. Ask how long it takes, what gets lost, and who does the checking afterwards. |
| Cloud or on your own server? | Cloud systems update themselves and work from anywhere. Server based systems give you control and no monthly per user cost. Both are defensible. |
| What does online booking really do? | Some systems publish live availability, others take a request that reception still has to process. The difference matters enormously to your enquiry conversion. |
| Per user or per practice pricing? | Per user pricing looks cheap for a small practice and expensive for a growing one. Model it at the size you intend to be. |
| Can you get your data out? | Ask before you go in. A system you cannot export from is a system you can never leave. |
| Does it report on treatment accepted? | If you cannot see accepted treatment value by source, nobody can prove which marketing worked, including us. |
Examples covered in these guides include Dentally, CareStack, Agilio, Software of Excellence, Pearl, Dentrix, Curve, Boxly and CallRail. They serve different purposes and markets. Inclusion does not claim that Ampli5 has worked with them, and you should confirm current UK availability and integration support directly.
System by system
Marketing that works with the software you already run.

What to compare
Choosing a provider in this area.
Ampli5 has no official associates or supplier partnerships. Use these points to research providers independently and confirm their scope, availability and terms directly.
Any business mentioned is an independent third party. Inclusion is for information and does not imply affiliation, endorsement or a referral arrangement.
What we add
Where our side of it fits.
Booking that reaches the diary
We connect your website form to the system your team already uses, so nobody retypes an appointment.
Knowing which advert produced which patient end to end
Every enquiry tagged with the campaign that produced it, followed through to accepted treatment.
Reports you can act on
Enquiries, booked, attended, accepted, and the treatment value against the spend.
Connected work
Where this touches your marketing.
Leads and CRM
A CRM sits alongside your practice software and handles enquiries before they are patients.
Patient reactivation
Your database lives in this system. It is usually the most valuable thing in the building.
Straight answers
Common questions.
Do we need to change systems to work with you?
A marketing project does not automatically require a system change. Confirm the integrations and access your proposed workflow needs before agreeing a scope.
Are you affiliated with these providers?
No. Ampli5 has no official software-provider partnerships. These guides explain what to investigate; they are not evidence of an integration or supplier endorsement.
Which would you pick for a squat practice?
It depends on whether you want cloud simplicity or server control, and on how many surgeries you are planning. Happy to talk it through, but we would not take a fee for steering you.
