# mood! vs Mom Check

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mom Check at daily against mood!'s every 9 days. Mom Check also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). mood!'s advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. mood! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Mom Check sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mom Check holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mood! has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

mood! ships an update every 9 days, Mom Check daily. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
