Emotions don't keep office hours, so why should emotional support? With Ask Marie you don't have to hold it all together on your own, or wait until your next appointment for support.

You can finally say how you really feel. Process, share, and be heard without fear, without ever feeling like you're not enough.

Whatever you need to chat through, whenever you need me, I'm here… because the moments we really need support are rarely 9-5!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LYMA at none against Ask Marie's 2. Ask Marie's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
