Stability aims to simplify the mood health process for everybody. Simplistically, as people get more intertwined with their phones, there needs to be a middle-man keeping people in check, because our devices can drastically alter who we are as people. Stability is that middle-man. By taking a simple photo and getting a mood recognition, Stability sends timely notifications on ways to improve your mood, giving you the "wake-up" call non-invasively. It aims to streamline this mental-health actualization process, and is an alternative to ensuring that people understand their moods better.

Emotion Hub is a mood tracker and feelings journal with a 135-emotion feelings wheel for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Name exactly how you feel, see what goes with your mood and keep it all private. Logging is free and unlimited on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Every feeling has a reason — Emotion Hub helps you find it. Key Features: • Beyond Good or Bad: Start with 7 core emotions and narrow down through a feelings wheel of 135 nuanced states — from overwhelmed to hopeful, from jealous to relieved. Feeling, intensity, details: three steps, and only the feeling is required. • The Whole Moment: Note what happened, what you thought and what you did — the three questions of a CBT thought record — plus where you were, how your body reacted and what went with it: work, family, friends, money, the weather and more. • Your Day at a Glance: Today opens with the day's tone in one sentence, above a line of your entries. Keep a streak, and look back through a calendar of your days. • Analytics: One sentence on how the period felt next to the one before, then your feelings, their intensity, the times of day they come and what connects them. Free for your last 7 days. • Apple Health, Both Ways: Your entries are saved to Health as State of Mind, and moods you log in the Health app or on Apple Watch come into your journal. Imported moods stay on the device that brought them in and are never copied to iCloud. • Log From Anywhere: Siri, Shortcuts, a Control Center button and the Action Button start a new entry in one step. • iPhone, iPad and Mac: A sidebar, your list and the entry side by side, and keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac. One purchase covers every device. • Private by Design: Your journal syncs through your own iCloud — we never see a single entry. Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. No ads, no account. • Daily Reminder: A gentle check-in at the time that suits you, in the language you use. • Made Yours: A calm ink-and-glass design in light or dark, and the app's language whenever you like. • 20 Languages: English, Turkish, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Estonian, Finnish, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Emotion Hub Plus Logging is free and unlimited on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Analytics covers your last 7 days without paying. Plus adds the longer view: • Analytics for 30 days, the last 12 months and all time • Your year in dots, and what tends to go with your moods • Highlights on sleep, your body's reactions and which feeling follows which • A short summary of the period, written on your device by Apple Intelligence — nothing leaves your device (requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence and a supported language) • A PDF report to keep, or to bring to a coach or therapist • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Logging from Apple Watch, with complications Plus is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Lifetime is paid once and does not renew. Subscriptions: Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before that period ends. You can manage or cancel it at any time in Settings under your Apple Account. Emotion Hub is a journaling tool for self-reflection. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Privacy Policy: https://emotionhub.gokhangunduz.dev/privacy Terms of Use: https://emotionhub.gokhangunduz.dev/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stability at none against Emotion Hub's 2. Stability also leads on iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.6). Emotion Hub's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (4 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
