ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

eClinicalMobile holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eClinicalMobile has 3.5K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of eClinicalMobile's written reviews are positive against 30% of athenaCapture's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

eClinicalMobile ships an update every 3 weeks, athenaCapture monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
