Both platforms read from your TDO database. Only one requires you to switch your credit card processor.
See the Full ComparisonTDO Comms+ bundles messaging with Valpay credit card processing at approximately 3.2%. That processing fee is the real cost.
Most endodontic practices process $40,000 to $80,000 per month in credit card payments. At Valpay's 3.2% rate vs. a standard 2.6% rate, here's what the "free" messaging actually costs:
On higher volume ($80K+/mo), the Valpay premium exceeds $480/month — more than double SendVyte's cost, and you get fewer features.

Want to keep your current credit card processor and rate. Need cloud-based access to patient communication from any device. Want AI-powered Google review management, endo referral marketing analytics, MMS messaging, or accounts receivable tools. Prefer a transparent flat monthly fee over hidden processing costs.
Are comfortable with Valpay's 3.2% processing rate and want everything built directly into TDO Software with no separate application. Need payment ledger write-back that syncs payment data directly to TDO's financial records. Prefer a single vendor for practice management and patient communication.
The honest advantage of TDO Comms+: Payment write-back to TDO's ledger is a real feature that SendVyte does not offer. SendVyte connects to TDO in read-only mode and does not write payment data back to TDO's financial records. If automatic ledger reconciliation is critical for your workflow, that's a genuine reason to consider TDO Comms+.
