ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DrChrono EHR / EMR holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DrChrono EHR / EMR has 3.7K ratings behind it against 39, 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 73% of DeepScribe'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, DeepScribe every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
