Both are free to download. Rootd sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Mood Diary EMOLOG sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mood Diary EMOLOG holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rootd has 11K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Rootd's written reviews are positive against 67% of Mood Diary EMOLOG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rootd ships an update every 5 days, Mood Diary EMOLOG every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
