Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mood Journal & Stress Tracker at every 4 days against Moodnotes's every 4 weeks. Mood Journal & Stress Tracker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Moodnotes's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moodnotes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Mood Journal & Stress Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
