Are mentalillnessmouse's Recommended Apps Free, and Which Platforms Do They Support?

Most of the apps listed on mentalillnessmouse are described as free, and the large majority are listed for both Apple and Android. A few also note availability on Amazon Apps. However, the site does not give pricing or subscription details for every app, so "free" should be read as the site's general description rather than a verified price for each individual app.

What the site actually says about cost

The app page opens with a disclaimer and a general statement about pricing:

• None of the listed apps are described as substitutes for therapy or medical professionals.
• "Most of these apps are free" — this is a blanket statement covering the list as a whole, not a per-app guarantee.
• No subscription tiers, in-app purchase prices, or paid upgrade details appear in the page evidence.

That means if cost matters to you, treat the site as a starting point for finding an app, then confirm the current price in the app store listing before committing.

Platform support by app

The table below reflects exactly what the site lists. Where an entry says "Apple and Android," both are named; where it says "Android and Apple," the order is reversed but the coverage is the same.

The one platform outlier

Rain, Rain is the only app in the evidence that explicitly names Amazon Apps alongside Apple and Android. If you use a Fire tablet or another Amazon app store device, that is the entry worth checking first.

How to use this if you're choosing an app

1. Pick the category that matches your need — crisis support, pain tracking, comfort/community, white noise, or medication management.
2. Check the platform column above to confirm your phone type is listed.
3. Open the app's store page and verify the current price yourself, since the site's "most are free" line does not cover every app individually.
4. Read the site's own disclaimer again before relying on any app: it states these are not substitutes for therapy or medical professionals.

Common sticking points

• "Most are free" is not "all are free." The site's wording leaves room for some apps to charge or to have paid features it doesn't describe.
• Platform lists can go stale. App stores change availability over time, so a listing here is a lead, not a guarantee.
• Crisis apps are not crisis services. The site frames ICE Contact, MY3, and Wickr Me as tools to use "while you're safe," to test whether they work on your phone — not as emergency response systems.

If your main question is simply whether you can try these without paying, the site's answer is that most of them are free, and nearly all of them run on both Apple and Android.
