Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mood at 88% against PESI's 14%. Mood also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). PESI's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 33). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PESI sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Mood asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PESI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PESI has 3.5K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Mood's written reviews are positive against 14% of PESI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mood ships an update every 7 months, PESI fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
