Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

DrChrono

  • iOS-only mobile app with no Android support, limiting accessibility for non-Apple users
  • Multi-provider scheduling lacks flexibility, forcing practices to use manual workarounds
  • Medical billing is unreliable and complex, with claims processing cited as difficult and error-prone
  • Billing features only available in higher-tier plans
  • Support quality declined post-acquisition by EverHealth, with slower response times
  • Auto-renewal contracts with unclear disclosure and restricted data portability when switching
  • No published pricing, requires sales contact for quotes

tab32

  • The $125 a month Alpine start up rate applies to year one only and rises to $225 a month from year two
  • The entry tier covers up to 3 providers and the established tier up to 5, so larger practices move up
  • Claims and eligibility work are billed per transaction: $0.20 per claim, $0.50 per attachment and $1.25 per eligibility check
  • Patient engagement features such as texting, reminders and online booking are paid add ons
  • Summit, the tier for groups and DSOs, is custom priced with no published rate
