Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mood Board at 4.5 against Clearly Reader's 3.0. Mood Board also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 25%) and ratings volume (101 vs 3). Clearly Reader's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
