Pearly alternative: BoomCloud™ vs Pearly
Pearly is primarily a dental patient-billing and A/R automation platform — statements, collections, payment plans and PMS ledger integrations — with an in-house membership plan module, a plan builder and paid membership growth services.
Buy Pearly if your business
mainly needs patient billing and A/R collections, with memberships as a side module.
Buy BoomCloud™ if your business
treats the membership plan as a revenue pillar and wants a vendor built only for that.
Membership is one module among forty. Keep the suite for booking and operations — BoomCloud is the dedicated engine that designs, prices, markets and grows the plan the suite only bills.

What Pearly does well

When BoomCloud™ is the better fit
- — You want memberships to be the core product your vendor lives and breathes, not one module inside a billing suite
- — You want a Success rep accountable for your member count, with enrollment campaigns included rather than sold separately
- — You want PPO-drop modeling and member vs non-member production reporting
- — You may add optometry, chiropractic, med spa or other verticals under one membership roof

Switching from Pearly
Keep Pearly for statements and collections if it works for you. We move just the membership roster, tiers and renewal dates into BoomCloud and run both side by side until the last renewal clears.
Built for your vertical
Add-on ladders and per-staff pricing scale with headcount, not success
Suites price by location, by staff seat or by tier, then add marketing, apps and automation as paid rungs — and the bill rises whether or not membership revenue does. BoomCloud is $197/mo + $4.50 per active member (Basic) or $397 + $3.50 (Pro), published, with the per-member portion designed to be built into membership dues so the plan funds its own capacity and support. Keep the suite. Add the engine.
One question to ask Pearly
“Is the membership plan their product — or a feature inside their billing product?”
