Why Free Dental Software Alone Is Killing Your Practice’s Potential
Let’s face it — every DSO, solo doc, and practice manager out there has Googled:
“Best free dental software programs ”
What they really want is simple: automation, better patient communication, scheduling, treatment planning, and the holy grail — getting paid without chasing payors.
But here’s the harsh truth
Free dental software is a bandaid for a bullet hole. If you’re still relying on free tools to manage your revenue, you’re in the danger zone.
You don’t need more features. You need cash flow. You need patients saying “yes” more often without battling insurance drama. And you need it to scale without stress.
That’s where membership programs — especially when powered by BoomCloud™ — come in and flip the script.
STORY: How One Practice Ditched Insurance and Doubled Their Revenue Using BoomCloud™
Let me tell you about Dr. Mitchell in Utah.
Like most practices, he was:
-
Writing off 30% or more on insurance reimbursements
-
Watching patients ghost on treatment plans they couldn’t afford
-
Wasting hours dealing with claims, appeals, and the same EOBs that make you want to throw your laptop out the window
Then he discovered BoomCloud™ — a dental membership software that lets practices build, manage, and scale in-house membership plans.
Here’s what happened next:
-
They launched a $35/month plan that covered cleanings, exams, and discounts on treatment
-
Within 6 months, they added 380+ recurring members
-
Their MRR shot up to $13,300/month, adding $159,600 in guaranteed annual revenue
-
Membership patients spent 2.4X more than insurance patients
-
They used BoomCloud™’s automated renewals and Stripe integration — zero admin overhead
Want to talk retention? BoomCloud™ users typically retain 90-95% of members year over year.
Wait… Membership Patients Spend More?
Yup. Here’s the deal.
When a patient pays you monthly, they’re emotionally invested. They stop thinking about whether they can afford it and start seeing your office as their “go-to provider.”
According to BoomCloud’s internal data:
Membership patients spend 2X–4X more than non-members.
They say yes to treatments faster.
They show up more often.
They refer friends.
They stay loyal. (Even when competitors offer discounts.)
And because there’s no insurance middleman, you control your fees, your care, and your cash flow.

Look, you can keep using those free dental software programs. But they won’t solve the core issue: predictable revenue and patient loyalty.

Revenue per patient
