# Doximity vs Eko

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Doximity at none against Eko's 2. Doximity also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 51%) and ratings volume (201K vs 11K). Eko's advantage is chart position (#8 vs #132) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eko sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Doximity asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Doximity against 4.9 for Eko. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doximity has 201K ratings behind it against 11K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Doximity's written reviews are positive against 51% of Eko's.

Doximity ships an update weekly, Eko fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
