At the end of each patient visit, data is transmitted back to the server automating documentation without costing the doctor a second.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ModMed Practice Sandbox holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eClinicalTouch 3.9 has 78 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ModMed Practice Sandbox's written reviews are positive against 12% of eClinicalTouch 3.9's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ModMed Practice Sandbox ships an update weekly, eClinicalTouch 3.9 every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
