Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Moodnotes at 65% against StressCenter's 20%. Moodnotes also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (11K vs 29). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Moodnotes sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and StressCenter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Moodnotes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moodnotes has 11K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Moodnotes's written reviews are positive against 20% of StressCenter's.
Moodnotes ships an update every 4 weeks, StressCenter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
