Please note that EMA can only be used in conjunction with a subscription-based Web Application Service. Modernizing Medicine introduces the first native iPad application designed for medical surgical specialities — EMA by Modernizing medicine for iPad. Each relevant part of the visit can be recorded in real time by the patients in the waiting room and by the medical assistants, physician extenders, or physicians in the exam room. At the end of each patient visit, data is transmitted back to the server automating documentation without costing the doctor a second.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ModMed Practice at 2.8 against CareCloud Companion's 1.7. ModMed Practice also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (345 vs 23). CareCloud Companion's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ModMed Practice holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ModMed Practice has 345 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of CareCloud Companion's written reviews are positive against 26% of ModMed Practice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CareCloud Companion ships an update every 2 months, ModMed Practice fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
