Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the UpToDate badges page.
Before you pay for UpToDate
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: not published on the record we hold. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare UpToDate against the tools that do have one before committing.
UpToDate runs on web, mobile, and is published by UpToDate Inc of Waltham, MA. The full record is on the UpToDate review, and the rest of the category is under best healthcare tools.
