# Matter Neuroscience vs Mood Tracker

The clearest difference is rating: Matter Neuroscience at 4.7 against Mood Tracker's 3.9. Matter Neuroscience also leads on ratings volume (235 vs 11). Mood Tracker's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Matter Neuroscience sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Mood Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Matter Neuroscience holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Matter Neuroscience has 235 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Matter Neuroscience's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mood Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Matter Neuroscience ships an update weekly, Mood Tracker every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
