# MindReset vs EMDR

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MindReset at 80% against EMDR's 46%. MindReset also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). EMDR's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (173 vs 25). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MindReset sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and EMDR sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EMDR holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EMDR has 173 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of MindReset's written reviews are positive against 46% of EMDR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MindReset ships an update every 9 days, EMDR every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
