Choose Zatanna
Choose Zatanna when the workflow is outside Kolla's list, the official API is incomplete, or your AI agent needs a custom portal action exposed directly.
Dental integration API comparison
Zatanna vs Kolla Unify: 2026 comparison
Zatanna is the better fit when your dental product or AI agent needs a workflow that Kolla does not already expose—especially custom portal actions, unsupported systems, and session-heavy operations. Kolla is worth considering when the required dental or ortho system and resource are already available in its prebuilt integration catalog.

Decision guide
Build the workflow you need, not the one a catalog allows
Why Zatanna
Zatanna is not limited to a dental integration list or predefined resource model. It reconstructs the actual portal workflow and hosts the underlying request sequence as an endpoint for agents or internal tools. Zatanna is infrastructure-only: it does not sell to end customers, so it never competes with you for the accounts you serve.
Where Kolla Unify stops
Kolla can be convenient for dental and ortho systems already covered by its catalog. Its value is prebuilt access; the limitation is that your product still depends on the systems and resources Kolla has chosen to support.
If you need both
If Kolla already handles a standard dental data feed, keep it. Zatanna can add missing actions, unsupported systems, and session-aware workflows without replacing what already works.

FAQ
Common questions
Yes, when the job requires a custom portal action, unsupported dental system, or workflow outside Kolla's catalog. Kolla is mainly the better fit when its existing connector already exposes exactly what you need.
Zatanna exposes the exact portal workflow your product needs, including actions outside official APIs. Kolla Unify exposes a predefined unified API across its supported dental-sector systems.
No. Zatanna sells infrastructure to software companies and does not sell to their end customers. That means Zatanna does not compete for your practices, providers, or patient relationships; your product and customer ownership remain yours.
Kolla lists Sync from $95 per location, but that is not a public Unify price. Zatanna also uses scoped pricing, so buyers need comparable quotes for the same systems, workflows, and volume.
Yes, for workflows Zatanna can reproduce at the request layer. Teams can also keep Kolla for existing standard connectors while moving custom actions and unsupported systems to Zatanna.
Choose Kolla when the exact dental or ortho connector and resource already exist in its catalog and a prebuilt API is more important than custom workflow coverage.
Pricing and evidence
Verify the fit against the current product pages
