Weave is a phones, texting, payments, and reviews platform for small and medium practices, founded in 2008 in Lehi, Utah, with "over 40,000 customer locations", taken private by Francisco Partners in October 2026. Clinekt is AI patient engagement software for specialty and primary care practices: its agents reach patients by phone, text, email, and website chat in your practice's name, book the visit, bring overdue patients back from your records, and hand your team only what needs a person. The short version: choose Weave if you run a dental or small practice that wants phones, texting, payments, and reviews in one bundle at a published monthly price; choose Clinekt if you want the agent to finish the job: a confirmed appointment with the right provider rather than a request in a queue, overdue patients worked by conversation rather than a bulk text, and a platform built for medical specialties as well as dental.
Facts about Weave come from Weave's public website on November 2, 2026, are vendor-reported, and may change. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
Clinekt. Specialty and primary care practices: orthopedics, physical therapy, oral surgery, dentistry, dermatology, ophthalmology, urology, primary care, cardiology, pediatrics, rheumatology, and behavioral health, and health systems that run those service lines.
Weave. Small and medium practices, with industry pages for dental, medical, and plastic surgery, and customer stories in dental, veterinary, mental health, and plastic surgery.
Clinekt. Phone, text, email, and website chat in one thread, so a patient can start on one channel and answer on another. Voices you choose, in the languages your patients speak.
Weave. Phones, texting, email marketing, and a mobile app, plus an AI Receptionist in early access that answers calls, texts, and website chats. Multiple languages are listed as coming soon.
Clinekt. The agent holds the conversation until the patient has a confirmed time with the right provider, verifies insurance, and hands your schedulers the booking with the conversation attached. Anything clinical, urgent, or requested goes to a person right away.
Weave. Depends on the practice management system: for most offices the AI Receptionist captures appointment requests for your team to review and schedule; for qualified dental systems it books to the calendar. Online scheduling sends requests that staff approve.
Clinekt. The Recall Agent works from your records: recall intervals, unfinished plans of care, patients not seen in twelve months. It reaches each patient by phone, text, and email until the visit is booked or the patient says no, with nothing landing on staff.
Weave. Staff-driven: sort patients by scheduled or unscheduled, then draft a text or email to send in bulk. Recall and reactivation texts and calls are in its Coordinate bundle.
The same facts for the jobs a buyer asks about next.
Clinekt. Website chat greets and books new patients with no form or login, and the phone is answered after hours the same way it is at 9 am. 82% of patients try to book outside office hours.
Weave. Website appointment requests, and the AI Receptionist works 24/7. New-patient handling specifically is not stated.
Clinekt. Insurance verification, registration and intake, referrals received and routed, billing questions answered and balances collected, NPS after every visit with Google reviews asked for, medication reminders, and campaign attribution to the completed visit.
Weave. Insurance verification through dental portals (US only), digital forms, automated review requests, and payments with CareCredit, Sunbit, and Affirm. Referral management is not stated.
Clinekt. Works alongside Epic, athenahealth, ModMed, NextGen, eClinicalWorks, Cerner (Oracle Health), AdvancedMD, Greenway, Veradigm, Nextech, and the dental practice management systems. No IT project; the first agent is live the same day.
Weave. Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Planet DDS, Dentrix Enterprise, Fuse, and Dentrix Ascend are named on its site. AI booking works only with qualified dental systems.
Clinekt. One rate per provider per month, support and tuning included, no multi-year contract.
Weave. Published: a base plan from $199 a month, Coordinate and Attract bundles at $149 a month each, the AI Receptionist price not shown, "No long-term contracts" with an annual discount.
Both are real products with real customers. The difference is the job you are hiring for.
You run a dental or small practice that wants phones, texting, payments, and reviews in one bundle at a published monthly price.
You want the agent to finish the job: a confirmed appointment with the right provider rather than a request in a queue, overdue patients worked by conversation rather than a bulk text, and a platform built for medical specialties as well as dental.
Clinekt. HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II, a BAA with every client, AES-256 in transit and at rest. Evidence in our Trust Center.
Weave. "Designed with features to support you in complying with HIPAA"; SOC 2 Type 2 is cited for its hosting provider; AES-128 at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit.
Named results on Weave's site, vendor-reported: DeSoto Family Dental Care, $31k+ in financing in 8 weeks; Marathon Physical Therapy, 4x new reviews. Clinekt's: Ventura Orthopedics, a five-location group, had more than 300 completed appointments and more than 200 new patients in its first month live, verified in eClinicalWorks. Every Clinekt patient is traced from first call or click to completed visit, so the numbers come from your own schedule.
Your plan is sized to your practice and grows as you add providers.
For the patient-facing work, yes: answering, booking, recall, reminders, follow-up, and reviews. Weave is a phones, texting, payments, and reviews platform for small and medium practices, founded in 2008 in Lehi, Utah, with "over 40,000 customer locations", taken private by Francisco Partners in October 2026; if you rely on parts of it that Clinekt does not do, such as in-office hardware or a payments bundle, practices run both.
Clinekt's agent holds the conversation until the patient has a confirmed time with the right provider, verifies insurance, and hands your schedulers the booking with the conversation attached, so the visit lands in the workflow your team already uses. Weave's own site describes its booking this way: Depends on the practice management system: for most offices the AI Receptionist captures appointment requests for your team to review and schedule; for qualified dental systems it books to the calendar. Online scheduling sends requests that staff approve.
