Weave · All-in-one practice communications platform, per location
Weave is a genuinely capable platform: phones, two-way texting, reviews, payments, and scheduling in one vendor, which is why so many dental and medical offices run on it. The trade is platform economics: only the Pro tier's $249 per month per location is published, and practice-reported all-in costs commonly land between $400 and $700 per location once tiers and add-ons stack. Lydoh is the opposite shape: not a platform, just answering done deeply (24/7 AI answering, after-hours triage, on-call escalation, refill capture) for a flat $199 total, alongside whatever phone system you already have.

The honest split
FAQ
Yes, and that's a common-sense setup: keep Weave for texting, reviews, and payments, and forward unanswered or after-hours calls to Lydoh's number. No migration, no rip-and-replace; the two don't conflict because Lydoh only needs calls forwarded to it.
Weave publishes only its Pro tier at $249 per month per location, and dental owners commonly report $400 to $700 per location all-in once tiers and add-ons are included. Lydoh is $199 flat, total, with unlimited calls. The honest caveat: Weave's price buys a whole platform; ours buys answering done deeply. Compare against what you'll actually use.
A lot, deliberately: two-way patient texting campaigns, review management, payments, integrated office phones, and a large integration ecosystem. If you need the platform, Weave is a fair choice. Lydoh's bet is that answering, especially after hours for medical practices, deserves a dedicated tool with triage, on-call escalation, and billing-grade documentation that platforms treat as a checkbox feature.
