ePocrates has two distribution channels. The software is available free of charge from the ePocrates Web site, and ePocrates partners (such as Eli Lilly) provide selected users with Palms preloaded with the qRx and other applications on a free-lease basis. Users receiving a Palm device through a partnership are considered sponsored users and gain access to additional applications such as qRx Pro, which adds formulary information to the core drug database.
