Then if you feel comfortable, you can open up and let that friend know it was you all along. Empath tracks all your posts in an emotional journal, so you can see how your feelings change over time and remember important moments. When we share our feelings, the world feels a whole lot friendlier.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sup at 4.5 against Empath's 3.1. Sup also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (5K vs 70). Empath's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.7 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
