Understanding Smilecloud Subscription Plans

Choosing the right Smilecloud subscription helps you get the most out of your workspace. Each plan is designed to support different levels of practice needs, from individual clinicians to full interdisciplinary teams. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between the Lite, Starter, and Business plans.

Lite Plan – Essentials for Cloud Storage and Collaboration

The Lite Plan is your entry point into Smilecloud, giving you the essential tools to store, organize, and share patient files securely in the cloud. Designed for simplicity, it helps you centralize all your data, making it accessible anytime, anywhere.

With Lite, you can create cases, upload your dental files, and easily connect with collaborators or labs. No more juggling emails or multiple transfers - Smilecloud keeps everything in one place. You can also share files directly with patients, ensuring smoother communication and fewer delays.

While the Lite Plan does not include Smile Design or advanced project tools, you can still benefit from collaborations: if your technician or lab is on a higher plan and creates a design in your case, you’ll be able to view it seamlessly (though editing remains restricted).

✨ Highlights

• Members: 1
• Cases included: 120 
• File recovery: 14 days
• Collaboration: Case-based storage, case chat, team-up links, share links, push notifications, and photo annotations.
• Biometric Design: Not included
• 3D Review Tools: Not included
• Patient Passport: Share files, documents, and maintain a private patient chat.

👉 Best for: Dentists who want a secure, streamlined workspace to store and share cases, collaborate with labs, and communicate with patients — without needing advanced Smile Design features.

Starter Plan – Smile Design and Review Tools for Specialists

The Starter Plan builds on Lite by unlocking Smilecloud’s Smile Design features and advanced 3D review tools — giving you everything you need to design, evaluate, and present smiles with clarity and confidence.

With Starter, you can create photorealistic smile designs, explore natural compositions, and achieve accurate color matching. You’ll also gain access to advanced tools such as Review, which lets you stack 3D files, assess static occlusion, and make precise cross-section measurements. Plus, you can generate up to 10 video simulations per month, making your presentations more dynamic and easier for patients to understand. The plan also includes access to Metalab servicing for 3D print- and mill-ready designs.

✨ Highlights:

• Members: 1
• Cases included: 120
• File recovery: 14 days
• Collaboration: All Lite features included
• Biometric Design: Photorealistic smile designs, natural composition search, color matching, 3D design order system, 10 video simulations/month
• 3D Review Tools: Manual alignment of 3D files, 3D annotations, contact heatmap, cross-section measurement
• Patient Passport: Share files, documents, and designs while maintaining a private patient chat

👉 Best for: Dentists and specialists who want to enhance patient communication with smile designs, realistic previews, and precise 3D review tools.

Business Plan – Centralized Workspace for Multi-Member Clinics

With Business, you get unlimited cases and extended file recovery (365 days), ensuring long-term data security and complete ownership of all patient information. The plan allows you to organize cases with shared collections across the clinic, invite paid partners to extend your network, and manage multiple team members in one unified space.

In addition to all Starter features, Business unlocks advanced imaging workflows: CBCT to STL conversion, cross-sectional 3D analysis, and jaw motion/dynamic occlusion tools. You can also generate up to 30 video simulations per month, giving your clinic everything it needs to handle complex, interdisciplinary cases.

✨ Highlights:

• Members: Multiple (expand as your team grows)
• Cases included: Unlimited
• File recovery: 365 days
• Collaboration: Centralized workspace with shared collections, multi-member support, and partner integration
