Honest assessment

Where each tool wins and loses

Based on hands-on testing. Both tools have real weaknesses worth knowing before you commit.

EMDR Tappers

What works well

True multi-platform (iOS, Android, web, watch)
No separate hardware needed for tactile BLS
Apple Watch haptics is a unique differentiator

Where it falls short

Pricing tiers not consistently published
Less integrated than full BLS plus video platforms (HIPAA LINK)

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

Take it for a spin

Both tools offer free trials. The fastest way to confirm a fit is to run one real session through each.

We 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.
