Branzino vs DrChrono

DrChrono makes you request a quote. Branzino puts the number on the page.

DrChrono (now part of EverHealth) is an ONC-certified, iPad-native EHR with practice management and revenue-cycle software behind a "request a quote" button. Third-party estimates put it around $199 a provider and up. Branzino is $29 per provider, published, with the whole product included.

The honest version

Where each one wins

Where DrChrono wins

  • ONC-certified EHR, which matters if you bill Medicare or Medicaid under programs that require it.
  • A genuinely good iPad-native charting experience, with medical speech-to-text.
  • Revenue-cycle software and services, and a broad payer network.
  • Extended lab integrations and a developer API with a third-party app ecosystem.
  • Track record — in market since 2009.

Where Branzino wins

  • A published price with no quote, no contract and no sales call: $29 per provider.
  • Everything included — telehealth, portal, messaging, memberships, CareRAG — with no Foundation, Growth or Premium tier to climb.
  • No overage fees: DrChrono lists $0.05 per text, $0.07 per page faxed and $0.10 per phone call above plan limits.
  • Built cash-first for med spas, therapy, chiropractic, PT, DPC and sports performance, with insurance billing as a $40 add-on.
  • Free migration, a signed BAA at no charge, and the founder on support.
Who should stay with DrChrono

If you need certified technology for Medicare or Medicaid incentive programs, chart primarily on an iPad, or use DrChrono's RCM services, stay. Branzino is not ONC-certified and is web-first; our patient app is native, our clinician app is the browser.

Questions people ask when leaving DrChrono

I chart on an iPad. Does Branzino work there?

Branzino runs in the browser, including Safari on iPad, and is laid out for it. It is not a native iPad app; if DrChrono's native app is central to how you work, that's a fair reason to stay.

Do you charge per text or per fax?

No. Appointment reminders, patient messages and eFax are part of the plan with no per-message overage.

Can I get a quote from you?

You don't need one — the price is on the pricing page and it's the same for everyone. If you want to talk it through anyway, write to us.

Are you ONC-certified?

No. Certification matters if you bill Medicare or Medicaid under programs that require certified technology. For a practice that bills patients directly it has no bearing on charting, prescribing or HIPAA. Who actually needs it →

How long have you been around?

We started building Branzino in early 2025 and opened it to practices in summer 2026. We're early and we say so. Who's behind it →
