# MoodWell vs Miary

MoodWell and Miary both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of MoodWell's written reviews are positive against 52% of Miary's. MoodWell also leads on ratings volume (253 vs 44) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MoodWell sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Miary sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for MoodWell against 4.6 for Miary. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MoodWell has 253 ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of MoodWell's written reviews are positive against 52% of Miary's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
