What Balaay does not do

Every comparison page on this site carries this section, because a comparison in which the author has no weaknesses is an advertisement.

No production-verified practice management system integration. Balaay does not write appointments into Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental or anything else today. Your team enters the appointment.
No rescheduling or cancellation on the call — those callers are handed to your staff.
English only.
No two-way patient texting; confirmations and reminders are outbound only.
No insurance eligibility verification against a payer.
No published customer outcomes. Balaay is pre-pilot, and several competitors have named practices with figures attached.
