# EMDR vs EMDR Flow

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EMDR Flow at 100% against EMDR's 46%. EMDR Flow also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). EMDR's advantage is ratings volume (173 vs 4) and device support (7 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EMDR sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and EMDR Flow sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EMDR Flow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EMDR has 173 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of EMDR's written reviews are positive against 100% of EMDR Flow's.
