TheraJoy is free to download and includes a 7-day full-access trial with no credit card required. After the trial, a Plus subscription ($49/yr) or Pro subscription ($79/yr) is required to continue.

What can I do in the free trial?

The 7-day trial gives you full access to all three BLS modalities — tactile (Joy-Con haptic), visual, and auditory — plus all speed and intensity controls, session presets, and remote session hosting (Pro trial).

Do I need a credit card for the free trial?

No. The 7-day free trial starts automatically when you download TheraJoy. No credit card is required to begin, and you can cancel or let it expire without any charge.

Why EMDR billing usually locks features

Most EMDR software trials gate core features behind upgrade prompts or limit sessions to force conversion. TheraJoy's trial gives you full access because the decision to subscribe should be based on whether it fits your clinical workflow — not whether you happened to unlock the right screen.

The only limitation during the 7-day trial: it expires after 7 days. No hidden feature locks. No session caps.

After the free trial

Plus — $49/yr — Solo sessions, all three BLS modalities, unlimited personal use.

Pro — $79/yr — Everything in Plus, plus remote session hosting. Clients join free. Run EMDR online with your full caseload for one flat annual fee.

Both plans are billed through the App Store. Cancel any time. See the full pricing breakdown.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Joy-Con controllers to use the free trial?

No. Visual BLS (on-screen light bar) and auditory BLS (alternating tones) work without any controllers. Tactile BLS requires a pair of Joy-Cons paired via Bluetooth — see the Joy-Con setup guide.

Is there a free version after the trial?

After 7 days, a Plus or Pro subscription is required to continue. There's no permanent free tier — but the 7 days gives enough time to run real sessions and evaluate fit.

Can my client try it free too?

Yes. Clients who join a therapist's remote session using a session code don't need a subscription at all — they download the app free and join via code indefinitely. Only therapists hosting sessions need a paid plan.

What platforms does the trial work on?

iPhone (iOS 17+), iPad, Mac (Apple Silicon), and Apple Vision Pro. The Joy-Con tactile BLS works on iPhone and iPad. Visual and auditory BLS work on all four platforms.
