AptaBook review

AI receptionist 42/85 BAA not confirmed Level 1 desk review: preliminary New

Reviewed by the PracticeAIReview editorial team · About the team

Low-cost, self-serve AI receptionist for calls and website chat with fully published prices. It books into Google Calendar or Outlook, not your dental PMS, and its site only says to contact it for a BAA.

BAA not confirmed. Don't use this tool with patient information until the vendor signs a BAA with your practice.

No affiliate links. AptaBook has not paid for this review and has no listing with us. Facts are from the public sources below. Each claim shows its last-checked date. Website: https://aptabook.com/

Pricing (as shown by vendor)

Solo '$49 a month with 50 conversations', Starter '$99 with 400', Professional '$149 with 1,500' and Enterprise 'custom pricing'; 'there are no overage charges, and every plan starts with a 15-day free trial with no credit card' [1]. Which plans include a BAA isn't stated.

HIPAA / BAA (vendor's own statement)

“For healthcare use cases that require a Business Associate Agreement, contact us before enabling channels that may handle protected health information.”

From Section 12 of AptaBook's terms of service [3]. In an email to PracticeAIReview on 2026-10-19, AptaBook marketing specialist Sam Dawson wrote: 'yes, AptaBook will sign a Business Associate Agreement with a dental practice that asks for one.' The public terms only say to contact AptaBook; they don't say a BAA will be signed or on which plans. The site's FAQ says 'AptaBook is HIPAA compliant' [1][2], but a HIPAA-compliant claim isn't a BAA. Get the signed BAA before patient data reaches any channel. BAA text not public.

Integrations (dental PMS / EHR)	5 / 25	Books into 'Google Calendar or Outlook' and lists HubSpot and Zoho CRM [2]. No dental PMS is named; for a PMS sync the vendor points to 'Webhooks and custom HTTP tools' [2]. No PMS write-back, so staff re-enter bookings.	2026-10-19
Pricing transparency	12 / 12	All plans, conversation limits and 'no overage charges' published [1].	2026-10-19
