ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PADECG holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DrChrono EHR / EMR has 3.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of DrChrono EHR / EMR's written reviews are positive against 0% of PADECG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DrChrono EHR / EMR ships an update monthly, PADECG every 10 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
