  • Only Focus@Will has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Epic MyChart myChart is not a direct-to-consumer product; Epic markets it as a tool that healthcare organizations license and configure to engage their own patients, so access depends entirely on a patient's provider having deployed Epic.; Focus@Will the App Store listing (seller Dulcetta Inc) states the free trial is limited to 7 days, after which a paid subscription is required to continue using the music and features
  • They diverge on capability: Epic MyChart covers View Medical Records, Focus@Will covers Curated focus music.
