# Mood vs Moon

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Moon at 100% against Mood's 57%. Moon also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). Mood's advantage is ratings volume (95 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mood sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Moon sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Moon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mood has 95 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Mood's written reviews are positive against 100% of Moon's.

Mood ships an update every 8 months, Moon every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
