# Rootd vs Mood Diary EMOLOG

The clearest difference is update cadence: Rootd at every 5 days against Mood Diary EMOLOG's every 4 months. Rootd also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 1) and review sentiment (82% vs 67%). Mood Diary EMOLOG's advantage is iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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.

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.

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.
