Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Mood Harmony at free against Show|Ready's paid. Mood Harmony also leads on rating (3.1 vs 2.8) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Show|Ready's advantage is review sentiment (27% vs 0%) and ratings volume (81 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mood Harmony holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Show|Ready has 81 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Show|Ready's written reviews are positive against 0% of Mood Harmony's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Show|Ready ships an update every 4 months, Mood Harmony every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
