Pick Moodfit if

• Fits if you want a mood journal with CBT worksheets on your phone
• Works for people who prefer a one-off yearly payment to a renewing subscription

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a desktop or web journal, as it runs on phones only
• Tight if you stay free, because the free tools are not confirmed and Premium has the full set
• Watch out: App Store prices differ from the vendor site, and Lifetime is not sold in the stores
• Watch out: refunds are by email within 7 days
• Watch out: the vendor calls it a companion to therapy, not treatment

Pick Moodflow if

• Fits if you'll log a mood in one tap but won't write an essay every night
• Works for people who want entries kept on the phone and not sent to the vendor

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to read or write entries on a laptop, as there's no web or desktop version
• Not for you if you never back up, because the vendor can't restore entries from a lost phone
• Tight if you want to know what Plus costs per month before you install, since the store shows prices with no period
• Watch out: the Google Drive backup isn't separately encrypted, and only the 4 most recent are kept
• Watch out: the site names only one Plus feature, and the trial length isn't published

Moodfit

• The vendor's Premium-versus-free comparison is not readable as text, so which tools are free is not confirmed here.
• App Store purchases are subscriptions at other prices ($9.99, $19.99 and $39.99 listed, periods not shown); the vendor site sells one-time purchases.
• Lifetime Membership is not sold through the app stores, and purchases are refundable within 7 days by email.
• The vendor presents Moodfit as a companion to therapy, not as treatment.

Moodflow

• The site lists no Plus prices; the App Store shows $3.49, $9.99 and $14.99 purchases without saying what period each covers.
• The Google Drive backup file is not separately encrypted, and only the 4 most recent backups are kept.
• Because entries live on the device, the vendor cannot restore them if the phone is lost without a backup.

Insights and correlations

Daily, gratitude and symptom journals

The daily journal takes free writing with photos and places, the gratitude journal gives a daily prompt, and the symptom journal logs symptoms and triggers.

Each day takes a color from its mood. Months can be shown in ring, gradient or average styles, and a year grid shows one square per day.
