ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DrChrono EHR / EMR holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DrChrono EHR / EMR has 3.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of DrChrono EHR / EMR's written reviews are positive against 50% of DocVilla's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
