MindSprout vs Moodly
Both help schools see how children are really feeling. Here's how MindSprout is built differently.
The short version
Moodly is a UK-based emotional wellbeing platform that lets children share their in-the-moment feelings so schools can respond to a changing 'Moodscape'. It's a thoughtful, child-centred product and a close conceptual neighbour to MindSprout.
What Moodly does
Moodly focuses on capturing children's in-the-moment feelings and giving educators a view of the school's emotional landscape. The emphasis is on emotional expression and educator response.

Where MindSprout is different
A daily signal, not a termly snapshot
MindSprout asks one short question every school day. A child's mood can change in a single morning — a termly or weekly survey will miss it. Daily check-ins create the early signal pastoral teams actually need to act.
Designed around teacher workload
Nothing for staff to launch. No survey to schedule. MindSprout runs quietly in the background and only surfaces a child when something has shifted. Teachers stay focused on teaching; pastoral leads see what matters.
Real-time notifications to the right adult
When a child's check-in changes meaningfully, the right pastoral lead is notified the same day. Insight that lives only inside a dashboard is insight that often arrives too late.
Whole-school view with hierarchy drill-down
Headteachers see the school. Heads of year see their year group. Form tutors see their class. Pastoral leads see individual children. One source of truth — appropriate depth for every role.
In one paragraph
Moodly is a good fit for schools that want a child-led emotional expression tool. MindSprout is for schools that want a consistent daily signal, real-time notifications and pastoral data that holds up across the whole school.
