Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Phonos Plus at 4.5 against MoodBlocks's 3.0. Phonos Plus also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 50%) and ratings volume (19 vs 2). MoodBlocks's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
