Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PD1 at $3.99 against mood's $12.99. PD1 also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). mood's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.5). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
