The platform, compared honestly.
How Clerri (formerly Kleer and Membersy) stacks up against other membership platforms and against running a plan yourself. Line by line, the differences add up fast.
Three ways to run a membership plan
The same plan, run three ways: on Clerri, on another platform, or by hand. Here is where the differences show up.
Comparisons reflect typical capabilities of membership platforms and in-house plans based on publicly available information, June 2026. Details vary by vendor and plan.
Which setup fits which practice
Solo and small practices
Small teams feel administration the most, which is why dental subscription plan software gets evaluated on how much it runs itself. Clerri handles enrollment, recurring billing with failed-payment retries, renewals, and member support, so a two-person front desk can run a growing plan without adding work. Setup is free and most small practices are live in about two weeks. Members can update a card, print a receipt, or turn off auto-renewal on their own in the Clerri member self-service portal, which keeps those calls off the front desk. Clerri runs membership plans for 25,000+ dentists, so a small team starts on a proven workflow.
In-house, practice-owned plans
Practices that built a plan on spreadsheets keep full ownership when they move to membership plan management software: your pricing, your brand, your patients. What changes is the machinery. Billing, renewals, compliance, and reporting stop being manual chores, and Clerri migrates existing members without disruption. Clerri's recurring-revenue reporting shows members, plan revenue, and renewals in one place, so you can see what the plan brings in without keeping a spreadsheet. Today 25,000+ dentists run their own membership plans on Clerri.
Groups and DSOs
Multi-location groups need an in-house membership plan platform with one view of members across every location, standardized plan design with local pricing, and enterprise reporting. Clerri runs membership for the country's largest dental organizations on exactly that model.
We hold the licenses, so your practice doesn't hold the risk.
Membership plans are regulated. 36 states license Discount Medical Plan Organizations, and California adds Knox-Keene on top. Clerri maintains the licenses and builds every plan to applicable laws in all 50 states, so the regulatory work sits with our compliance team instead of your front desk. If a rule changes, we adapt the plan and you keep practicing.

Comparison FAQs
Can we switch to Clerri from another membership platform?
Yes. We migrate your existing plans, members, and billing so nothing is interrupted, and a dedicated success manager runs the transition. Most practices are live in about two weeks.
Are there long contracts?
No long contracts. Clerri earns the renewal by performing: your plan is supported by a growth team whose job is to keep enrollment and production climbing.
What makes Clerri integrations different?
Clerri connects to over 90% of practice management systems through native, direct, and authorized integrations, not a strap-on third-party tool. Your PMS stays the source of truth, and membership work happens in the schedule view your team already uses.
We run our plan in-house today. Why change?
Keep the plan design you like and drop the administration. Clerri automates enrollment, billing, renewals, and payment posting, adds patient marketing, and handles compliance and security, so the plan grows without adding front-desk work.
Is there a full guide to choosing dental membership plan software?
Yes. Our dental membership plan software buyer’s guide covers what the software should do, a feature table for Clerri, BoomCloud, DentalHQ, Plan Forward, and Bento, and the questions to ask in every demo.
