Why Physicians Switch from DrChrono
Three recurring pain points we hear from practices exploring a move away from DrChrono.
iPad-first design creates friction on desktop workflows
DrChrono was built with a strong iOS/iPad focus. Practices that rely on desktop workstations — which remains the majority of multi-provider clinic workflows — report that the desktop web interface feels like an adaptation of a mobile product rather than a native desktop clinical application.
Krasyn's answer
Krasyn is a cloud-native web application designed for desktop clinic workflows first, with a consistent interface across devices. Telehealth and encounter documentation are optimized for the desktop encounter room setup.
AI documentation is limited, not truly ambient
DrChrono's AI documentation features assist with note templates and code lookup, but do not provide the ambient encounter transcription and structured SOAP drafting that reduces post-visit documentation time. Physicians using DrChrono continue to dictate or type the substantive clinical content of each note.
Krasyn's answer
Krasyn's ambient AI drafts the complete structured SOAP note — HPI, ROS, assessment, and plan — from the encounter in real time. Providers review a draft tied to the visit transcript rather than authoring from scratch.
Per-use communication fees add unpredictable monthly costs
DrChrono charges per text message and per phone reminder, which creates unpredictable monthly billing for practices with high patient communication volume. A practice sending 1,000 appointment reminders per month incurs $50–$100 in communication fees alone, on top of the base subscription.
Krasyn's answer
Krasyn includes patient communication within the platform subscription. Appointment reminders and portal messaging are not billed per use.
What Makes Krasyn Different
AI-native SOAP notes
Ambient AI drafts structured clinical notes during the encounter — HPI, ROS, assessment, and plan — grounded against the visit transcript. Providers review and sign; they do not dictate or type from scratch.
Real-time E/M + ICD-10 coding
As the note is drafted, E/M level and ICD-10 codes are suggested with confidence scores and supporting context — surfacing undercoding opportunities before the encounter closes.
DPC-first pricing
Krasyn was designed around the economics of independent outpatient medicine — including Direct Primary Care. Membership billing is built-in, not an add-on.
No per-seat lock-in
Krasyn bills at the practice level, not per provider seat. Add a covering physician, a PA, or a nurse practitioner without a pricing cliff.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Krasyn's AI documentation differ from DrChrono's AI features?
Krasyn provides ambient AI documentation: the AI drafts a complete structured SOAP note during the encounter, grounded against the visit transcript, with section-level sourcing. DrChrono's AI features assist with note templates and coding suggestions but do not provide full ambient transcription. Providers using DrChrono still author the substantive clinical content of each note.
Can I migrate my patient data from DrChrono to Krasyn?
Yes. Krasyn supports FHIR-based and structured export migration from DrChrono. The migration scope covers demographics, active medications, problem lists, allergies, clinical notes, and lab results. DrChrono provides data export functionality; the specific formats available in your plan are confirmed during a migration assessment.
Does Krasyn work well for practices that use a mix of desktop and iPad workflows?
Krasyn is a cloud-native web application that runs in any modern browser on any device. It is optimized for desktop clinical workflows but functions on tablets and iPads for point-of-care access. There is no native iPad application with separate functionality — the same interface is available everywhere.
Does DrChrono support DPC practices? Does Krasyn?
DrChrono does not natively support Direct Primary Care membership billing. Krasyn includes membership billing for DPC practices — patients are enrolled in a monthly or annual membership, and recurring payments are tracked separately from fee-for-service claims.
How does pricing compare between DrChrono and Krasyn?
DrChrono requires a custom quote for all plan tiers; third-party sources report $199–$500+ per provider per month depending on plan. Krasyn publishes its prices: a $0 Free tier, Therapy Practice at $79 per provider per month for non-prescribing therapy, Founding Starter at $249 per provider per month for 1–3 medical providers after a readiness review, and Growth at $429 per provider per month for 4–15 medical providers after a readiness review.
