Which is cheaper, CycleDoc or ResiTrack?

It depends on how many months you subscribe, but for most applicants CycleDoc is cheaper over a full cycle. ResiTrack is a monthly subscription (Basic $29/month, Premium $49/month), which across a six-to-seven-month residency cycle runs roughly $170 to $340. CycleDoc is a one-time $79 founding payment (regularly $129) for the whole cycle through Match Day, with no subscription. ResiTrack's free tier covers up to 5 programs; CycleDoc's free tier covers up to 20.

CycleDoc vs. ResiTrack: Which Residency Application Tracker Fits You?

Q: What's the difference between CycleDoc and ResiTrack?

Both track residency programs, interviews, and rank lists. ResiTrack leans toward discovery and logistics — a searchable database of 15,000+ ACGME programs, calendar sync, and AI summaries of your uploaded interview notes. CycleDoc leans toward strategy — budgeting your program signals by tier, automatically detecting same-day interview conflicts, and showing live conversion rates across your own applications.

Q: Does ResiTrack have a program signals planner?

As of July 2026, ResiTrack's public site does not advertise a signal-budgeting planner that allocates signals by tier and flags over-allocation before submission. That tier-based signals planner is one of CycleDoc's distinguishing features. Verify current features on each site, as products change.

Short answer: ResiTrack is strongest as a discovery and logistics tool — a searchable database of 15,000+ ACGME programs, calendar sync with reminders, and AI summaries of interview notes you upload. CycleDoc is strongest as a strategy and decisiontool — it budgets your program signals by tier, automatically catches same-day interview conflicts, and turns your own application history into live conversion rates. If you want a program finder and AI note-taking, look at ResiTrack; if you want signal strategy, conflict safety, and your own data, that's CycleDoc. On cost, the models differ sharply: ResiTrack is a monthly subscription ($29–$49/mo), while CycleDoc is a single $79 payment for the whole cycle.

The pricing math over a full cycle

This is where the models genuinely diverge. ResiTrack is a monthly subscription; CycleDoc is a one-time payment. A residency cycle runs roughly September through Match Day in March — about six to seven months of active use. Over that span, ResiTrack Basic at $29/month adds up to ~$170–$200, and Premium at $49/month to ~$290–$340, for as long as you keep it active. CycleDoc is $79 once(founding price; $129 regular) for the entire cycle, with nothing to cancel. And the free tiers aren't equal: ResiTrack caps free tracking at 5 programs, while CycleDoc's free tier covers 20. (Monthly totals are illustrative — they depend on how many months you subscribe.)

Where ResiTrack is the better pick

If you haven't finalized your program list, ResiTrack's built-in, searchable database of ACGME programs is a real head start — CycleDoc assumes you already know where you're applying and add them yourself. ResiTrack also syncs interviews directly into Google or Apple Calendar with reminders, and its AI can summarize interview notes you upload. If note-taking and program discovery are your priority, that's a genuine fit.

Where CycleDoc is the better pick

CycleDoc is built around the three decisions that actually cost applicants: spending signals, avoiding interview collisions, and ranking. Its signals planner budgets by tier and flags over-allocation before you submit — the mistake you otherwise discover mid-submission. Its conflict detection checks every accepted interview against your calendar automatically. And its cycle insights turn your own application history into conversion rates, so November decisions run on your data, not forum anxiety. All of it is one-time pricing — $79 for the whole cycle, no subscription — and your data exports cleanly as JSON with a one-click delete.
