OVERVIEW : Mobile Doula is the premier client management system for Doulas on the iPad/iPhone/Mac. Doulas have clients fill out their information on an iPad, iPhone or through the Mobile Doula web-based client portal from any computer. Mobile Doula has forms that capture birth & labor preferences, health and pregnancy history, sign financial agreements, consent forms, privacy notices and anything you can possibly think a Doula would need to record. IT'S TIME TO GO PAPERLESS!!! Best of all, Mobile Doula does not need to be connected to the internet to work like other web-based client management systems do. So if you need to attend a labor at a home or a hospital with no WiFi, NO WORRIES! If there is no internet connection the app will work just the same. Later, once an internet connection is detected all of your data will backup to the Mobile Doula servers and other iPads logged into your account will automatically get updated with the new data you entered! TOP FEATURES : • Record all client info including contact details, birth & labor preferences, health and prior pregnancy info and so much more. • Record prenatal visits, labor flow and the various stages of labor. • Record new born birth details and APGAR scores • Record immediate postpartum details for baby and mom with information such the stages of postpartum labor, placenta delivery, episiotomy, complications, etc. • Record mother and infant postpartum visits by inputing, mom's emotional state using the Edinburgh report, feeding/sleeping habits, intake, and emotional health, etc. • Reminder system, Todo flow chart and client or practice level Tasks. These can be used to make sure clients don't fall through the cracks, keeping track of borrowed items, follow ups and so much more. • Track customer billing and see at a glance which clients still owe a payment. • Print, Email or export any client data as a PDF. Generate statistics, activity reports and export client data to Excel. • NOW you can go PAPERLESS!! Import PDFs and create a document template by dropping text boxes, check boxes and signature boxes wherever needed on the PDF to make it fully interactive. Once you create your document templates your new clients will be guided to sign all of the documents as part of their sign up process after they complete their health history information using only their finger or a stylus. • Messaging feature records all emails between client and care provider under client record • Use new Chat feature to instant message your clients. Message will not wake you at night unless client indicates it's urgent. • Use new sign off feature to lock records. • New Audit features shows every single field change, who did it and from what device since the creation of any record. • Generate reports on your practice statistics, including number of clients delivered, outcomes and transfer rate. • Export your data as an Excel spreadsheet so you can utilize it for your own purposes such as reporting to the state, creating your own statistical analysis or tracking any other metric such as average visit duration. • New split screen feature allows for multi-tasking • New insurance claims feature generates CMS 1500 and UB-04 forms so you can bill insurance directly

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mobile Doula at none against PsychChart's 6. Mobile Doula also leads on ratings volume (348 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). PsychChart's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. PsychChart sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Mobile Doula asks for nothing beyond the download.
PsychChart holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Doula has 348 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Mobile Doula's written reviews are positive against 67% of PsychChart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mobile Doula ships an update every 2 months, PsychChart every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
