Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 9 of the 38 other therapy and clinic software we grade
DrChrono is a cloud-based EHR from EverHealth that combines scheduling, clinical documentation, medical billing and telehealth. It serves primary care and many specialties, including counseling and therapy and psychiatry. Pricing is tiered as Foundation, Growth and Premium, with the amounts given only on request.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about DrChrono, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Amounts aren't published, every tier asks for a quote, and the vendor lists extra charges for texts, faxes, paper claims and statements.

Keep it
To replace DrChrono you would be making insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for medical practices wanting EHR and billing
DrChrono is a cloud EHR with specialty templates, medical billing, a patient portal, telehealth and AI documentation. Amounts aren't published, every tier asks for a quote, and the vendor lists extra charges for texts, faxes, paper claims and statements.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so we hold it at the middle of the therapy-clinics range ($39 a month) with extra per-use fees on top. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial are listed. Each tier says to request a quote. |
| Features | B | EHR templates, billing, patient engagement, telehealth and AI documentation, with nothing in the listing missing from the core job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A full EHR and billing system takes set-up before use. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | A web service with Quest and LabCorp links, and no apps listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who DrChrono is for
- Fits if you run a medical practice and want charting and billing in one place
- Makes sense if you want lab links built in
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a price, as every tier says to request a quote
- Pricey if you send a lot of texts or faxes: $0.05 a text, $0.07 a faxed page and $0.10 a phone call beyond plan limits
- Watch out: extended lab integration for over 40,000 labs is $30 per provider per month
- Watch out: electronic patient statements are $0.59 each and paper claims $1.00 each

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
9/38
Other therapy and clinic software it is graded above
DrChrono's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 9 of the 38 other therapy and clinic software we grade, and level with 5.
It stands best on features (B, above 18 of 38) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 39 therapy and clinic software we grade, cut by the letter each got. DrChrono’s own letter is outlined.
- CValue for moneyAbove 9 of 38
- FFree plan and trialAbove 0 of 38
- BFeaturesAbove 18 of 38
- CEase of useAbove 0 of 38
- BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 14 of 38
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace DrChrono you would be making insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 24 of the 38 other therapy and clinic software grade higher.
What you could make
- Clinical notes and appointment booking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse.
- Video sessions that meet health privacy rules.
- Dictation that types into any app on your computer.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. DrChrono’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
