Aesthetics360 vs Archy (2026)
Two AI products for practices that are as much retail businesses as clinical ones. Aesthetics360 builds a multi agent platform for elective care across aesthetics, plastics and venous medicine, where the practice is measured on consultation to procedure conversion and the documentation is only part of the job. Archy is a cloud practice management platform for dentistry with native AI, so charting, imaging, insurance and payments live in one system and the scribe runs inside the chart. Neither competes with the other clinically. What they share, and what neither addresses, is that in cash pay settings the consultation record doubles as marketing and conversion material, and nothing published says how those uses are separated or what the patient is told.
- It is a multi agent platform built for elective care specifically, covering aesthetics, plastics and venous medicine, which are cash pay settings with different documentation and conversion needs.
- Elective practices are sold on conversion and follow up as much as on documentation, and the product is shaped for that rather than adapted to it.
- For a practice whose revenue depends on consultation to procedure conversion, a platform built around that funnel addresses the actual business.
- It is a complete cloud practice management platform with native AI, so charting, imaging, insurance and payments sit in one system rather than beside each other.
- The scribe runs natively with access to the chart rather than pasting a note in from outside.
- For a dental practice replacing its platform anyway, the AI arrives with it rather than as a second procurement.

Questions buyers ask
How do Aesthetics360 and Archy handle patient data?
For Aesthetics360, the tension is that the platform's stated value depends on analyzing every transcript for patterns, opportunities and performance feedback, so retention and reuse of conversation content is not incidental to this product, it is the business model.
The Master Service Agreement does set limits: Archy may use customer data solely to provide the service and to generate anonymous product usage data sets stripped of identifiers, and its business associate agreement permits Archy to use protected health information to de identify it under HIPAA's standard. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified August 4, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.

An earlier version of this comparison said Archy publishes no business associate terms. Its Master Service Agreement attaches one in full. Corrected 15 September 2026.
Both serve practices that are partly retail businesses, and that shapes the exposure: documentation in cash pay elective care doubles as marketing and conversion material, and neither vendor publishes how those uses are separated or what a patient is told about how their consultation record is used.
Neither publishes an accuracy figure or an attestation of its own. Archy publishes its business associate agreement in full as an exhibit to its Master Service Agreement, effective on acceptance, but no retention period for AI inputs and no training use statement was located, though the agreement limits use to providing the service and to de identified product usage data.
Neither publishes performance across accents or languages, which matters in consultation heavy settings.
