Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Got This! at 100% against EMDR's 46%. Got This! also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). EMDR's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (172 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Got This! sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and EMDR sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Got This! holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4.

Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Got This!'s written reviews are positive against 46% of EMDR's.
Got This! ships an update every 6 weeks, EMDR weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
