Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MOODA at Free against Big Day's $0.99. MOODA also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). Big Day's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment there is nothing between them.
