Honest assessment
Where each tool wins and loses
Based on hands-on testing. Both tools have real weaknesses worth knowing before you commit.
ActiveEMDR
What works well
- Completely free
- Simple, focused tool
- Works in person and remote
Where it falls short
- Minimal features compared to EMDR Tappers or Easy EMDR
- No tactile BLS
- No session tracking
Pure EMDR
What works well
- No link to send and no setup for the client, which removes the usual telehealth EMDR friction
- Clinician keeps full control from a private remote the client never sees
- Works with your existing telehealth platform rather than replacing it
- No accounts, downloads, or stored session data, a strong privacy posture
Where it falls short
- Browser extension only, currently Chrome and Edge, with Safari and Firefox not yet supported
- Single-purpose bilateral-stimulation tool, not a full EMDR suite or practice platform
- Relies on your telehealth platform's screen-sharing, so it is an add-on to an existing setup
- Small independent product with a limited public track record

About this comparison
This comparison is auto-generated from verified vendor data. We compile pricing, features, and integrations from each vendor's own documentation. For editorial comparisons with hands-on testing, see our editorially reviewed comparisons.
Auto-generatedWe may earn a flat referral fee if you sign up through links on this page. It is the same for every tool in a category, so it never affects our recommendations.
Some listings on Mytherapist Tools are paid placements, clearly labeled. Paid placement does not buy editorial recommendation. Our top picks are chosen on merit.
