# Moodnotes vs Swing

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swing at none against Moodnotes's 12. Swing also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Moodnotes's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moodnotes sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Swing asks for nothing beyond the download.

Swing holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moodnotes has 11K ratings behind it against 2, 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 100% of Swing's.
