Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DocVilla at none against DrChrono EHR / EMR's 3. DocVilla also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). DrChrono EHR / EMR's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 5) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. DrChrono EHR / EMR sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. DocVilla asks for nothing beyond the download.
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.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
