# MoodWell vs Then

The clearest difference is ratings volume: MoodWell at 253 against Then's 24. MoodWell also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MoodWell sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Then sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 4.7 for Then. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MoodWell has 253 ratings behind it against 24, 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 88% of Then's.

MoodWell ships an update every 5 days, Then every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
