Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 5 Sep 2026
Weave sells a per-location monthly subscription and its pricing page (weavehq.com/pricing, read 5 September 2026) now states plans start from $199 per location a month, though the exact tier ladder is still only shown after a demo. Practice owners commonly report all-in costs of roughly $400 to $700 a location once phones, payments and add-ons are bundled, plus a one-time setup fee of about $750. Quote-driven above the floor. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.
What the pricing page doesn’t say
Two honest cautions. And it's deeply tuned for healthcare and appointment-based practices; a general small business will find much of the workflow assumes a front desk and a patient schedule.
What Weave does
Phone, texting, payments and reviews unified for the front desk, tuned to dental, optometry and small healthcare practices. Quote-based per location: owners commonly report $400–700 per location per month plus a one-time setup fee near $750. Get the all-in number in writing.
What buyers report about Weave
Recurring themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026. We have not run Weave ourselves, so this is other buyers' experience rather than ours. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.
- • Month-to-month with no contract, no usage fees and no per-user fees — unusual in healthcare software and worth weighing.
- • 4.3 out of 5 across 673 Capterra reviews (read 25 August 2026), and practices report fewer no-shows from the reminder flows.
- • Reliability is the recurring complaint: technical glitches, unreliable phone service, and integration problems with practice management systems.
- • Support is slow and inconsistent, with long waits to resolve anything — and reviewers name it as the single biggest frustration.
- • Pricing is described as unclear and often hidden, disrupting monthly budgets.
Work out how many recovered appointments it needs
Weave's pricing page now names a floor: plans start from $199 per location a month (read 5 September 2026). It remains a per-location subscription with add-ons sold on a quote above that floor, and practice owners commonly report core-bundle costs around $400 to $700 per location per month, plus a one-time setup fee of roughly $750 and further fees for form uploads. Take the middle of that range and a single-location practice is looking at about $550 a month — $6,600 a year, or $20,550 across three years once setup is included.
A three-location group at the same rate is $19,800 a year. Because the meter is locations rather than users or patients, that figure scales in steps rather than smoothly, and adding a fourth surgery adds a fourth full subscription. The way to make that decidable is not to compare it to other software but to convert it into appointments. Divide the monthly cost by your average appointment value: at $550 a month and a $200 appointment, the software has to produce fewer than three recovered bookings a month to pay for itself.
Put your own two numbers in — that is the entire business case, and for a practice with a meaningful no-show rate or a lapsed-recall list it is usually a low bar. Which is why practices that use the recall and reminder features properly tend to be happy, and practices that install it and change nothing tend not to be. Two cautions on the commercial side. The pricing is opaque and quote-driven, and the all-in cost is commonly well above what the first sales conversation implies — the base bundle is a starting point, with add-ons, setup and per-location fees landing on top.
Get every line in writing, including what a second location costs, what happens to the rate at renewal, and what the contract term is. And check the fit before the price. This is deeply tuned for healthcare and dental front desks — the phone, texting, payments and reviews bundle is built around how those practices actually run their day. For a busy practice that specificity is exactly the value. Outside those verticals, a substantial share of what you are paying for will not apply to you, and a more general tool will cost less and fit better.
Our monthly capture read this pricing page in July 2026 and again in August 2026. A cut, which is rare enough to be worth recording: the advertised starting price dropped by $50 a month. What you actually pay is still quoted per location, so treat this as the opening number rather than the bill.
How to actually use Weave
Convert the quote into appointments before you accept it. Divide the monthly per-location cost by your average appointment value: that tells you how many recovered no-shows or reactivated recalls the software has to produce each month to break even. At around $550 a month and a $200 appointment it is under three, which is a low bar — but only if you actually switch the recall and reminder features on.
Get every line in writing, not just the bundle. Ask for the per-location monthly rate, the one-time setup fee, form-upload fees, each add-on you are being shown, the contract term, and what the rate becomes at renewal. The consistent complaint here is that the all-in cost sits well above what the first conversation implied. Price your second location now even if you only have one. The meter is per location, so growth adds a full subscription rather than a marginal seat, and that number belongs in your plan before you commit rather than after.
Distilled from Weave's own pricing page, read 10 September 2026 at www.getweave.com/pricing/ — note the domain: our earlier reading cited weavehq.com/pricing. The page states 'simple plans and pricing, starting from $199 per month' and shows no tier ladder; everything above that floor is quoted after a demo. The $3,500 that also appears on the page is a customer testimonial ('How Beaches Dental saves $3,500 a year with Weave'), not a rate. The all-in ranges and the setup fee our review mentions are third-party reports from practice owners, not figures Weave publishes.
The natural comparison is Podium or a standalone VoIP plus review tool — Podium is a close communications peer; a DIY stack is cheaper but less integrated — weigh the all-in quoted cost.

Frequently asked questions
What should I weigh before buying Communication & Voice software?
Generally yes, since this category is built for it, but the details that bite are timezone handling, how per-seat cost scales as the team spreads, and whether numbers, routing or coverage exist in the countries your people actually sit in. Availability varies far more by country than the marketing pages suggest, so check your specific regions before committing.
