Moti vs I am: which affirmation app fits you?
I am (listed as “I am - Daily Affirmations” by Monkey Taps, which also makes the Motivation quotes app) is one of the most widely used affirmation apps. Moti: Motivation Boost, made by Cacobeez LLC, the company behind this website, approaches the same habit from a different angle.
The simplest way to put it: I am is mostly something you glance at, and Moti is mostly something you listen to. The comparison below uses the I am website and US App Store page as of November 2026, and Moti's own feature list.

Where I am shines
I am is light and quick. You pick the areas of life you want to work on, such as self-love, relationships or inner peace, and short affirmations arrive through reminders and widgets you can style with themes and your own background. There is nothing to set up beyond that, no conversation and no recording, and a line can catch your eye in the middle of an ordinary afternoon.
It is also widely available. I am runs on iPhone and Android and lists many languages on the App Store, including Turkish, so it works for people who would rather read affirmations in their own language. Its US App Store rating count, shown in the table above, reflects how many people use it, and it has a long-running blog of affirmation lists and articles.
Where Moti is different
In Moti, the words start with you. You talk or type with an animated companion about what is happening, and Moti writes affirmations shaped by that conversation, your goals, the feelings and roles you picked, and a tone such as Gentle, Direct or Spiritual. Inside a collection you can ask for 20 more, write your own, or swipe away a line that doesn't feel true.
Moti is also built for listening. A collection plays one line at a time over a slowly drifting photo, the words appear as the voice reads them, and music can match the mood. You can choose a narrator voice, your own cloned voice or a voice a loved one shared with you. Reminders send lines from your own collections, and the widget shows a new one every hour.
Moti's limits: it is iPhone only for now, it is in English, and your own voice, a shared voice and live talk need a Pro or Premium plan.
Which one to choose
- Choose I am if you want short affirmations to read throughout the day with no setup.
- Choose I am if you use Android or want affirmations in a language other than English, such as Turkish.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an alternative to the I am app that writes affirmations about my situation?
Yes. Moti writes affirmations from a conversation with its companion, shaped by your goals and the tone you choose, instead of offering lines by category. You can ask for more, add your own or swipe lines away. Moti is on iPhone and in English for now, with Android coming soon.
Can the I am app read affirmations in my voice?
As of November 2026, the I am website and App Store page describe affirmations by category, themes, reminders and widgets, and don't mention recording or cloning your voice. Moti can read affirmations in a voice cloned from your own short live recording, on a Pro or Premium plan, for adults who give consent.
Is the I am app available in Turkish and other languages?
Yes. As of November 2026, I am lists many languages on the US App Store, including Turkish, Spanish, German and Japanese, and it runs on iPhone and Android. Moti is currently in English only, so if reading affirmations in another language matters most, I am is the better fit today.
Do Moti and I am have home screen widgets?
Both do. I am offers home screen widgets with themes and reminders through the day. Moti's iPhone widget shows a new line from your own collections every hour, and its reminders send lines from your collections, from 1 to 20 a day within a time window you set.
