EHR is expensive and narrowly reviewed. Toolradar tracks 88 tools holding 19,416 reviews. 75% are paid-only. The median entry is $149 a month, among the highest vertical medians we publish. Tebra holds 1,713 reviews at 4.10. Carepatron holds 1,593 at 4.40. ChiroTouch holds 1,207 at 3.90. athenahealth holds 1,026 at 3.60. Clinics pay enterprise prices for a market that still scores like a compromise.

Every figure below is computed from the Toolradar directory on September 17, 2026. The live dashboard is EHR/EMR statistics. The buyer ranking is best EHR and EMR software.

How large the category is

We track 88 published tools, or 0.8% of the 10,619 tools in the directory. 100% (88 of 88) were added to Toolradar in 2026. "Added" means added to our directory, not founded this year.

A $149 EHR seat is the cheap row. The $160 mean is the contract a practice actually signs.

How these tools are priced

75% of the 88 tools are paid-only. 25% offer a free tier or freemium plan (22 tools). 3% are fully free.

How this data was measured

Every figure in this report is computed live from the Toolradar directory on September 17, 2026, covering the 88 published tools we categorize under EHR/EMR. Pricing model is read from each vendor's official pricing page. The entry price is the cheapest positive monthly tier a tool publishes. Ratings and review counts are aggregated from third-party platforms (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and others), not from Toolradar's own reviews. The leaderboard floor is 150 aggregated reviews. This is a directory snapshot, not a survey.
