Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Emoji for Message at 85% against Cedini's 0%. Emoji for Message also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and update cadence (monthly vs every 18 months). Cedini's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Emoji for Message is free to download; Cedini costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cedini holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Emoji for Message has 6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Emoji for Message's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cedini's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Emoji for Message ships an update monthly, Cedini every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
