# How We Feel vs Mood Tracker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: How We Feel at 25 against Mood Tracker's 5. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. How We Feel sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Mood Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mood Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: How We Feel has 25 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

How We Feel ships an update every 3 weeks, Mood Tracker every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
