Part 02 · Top three

Our top three

The three we'd look at first, and who each one suits

The three habit trackers we'd look at first. First place suits the most people; second and third are the best picks for the people it leaves out. Each has an Insider's Guide of its own.

1st
2.8GPA
Habitify
Free plan · from $29.99/yr
For: Most people
Habitify lays habits out across the day with reminders and shows how consistently you keep them through a calendar, streak counts and completion rates. It runs on iPhone, Android, Mac and the web, and the free plan syncs between them. On the US App Store, Plus is $29.99 a year for unlimited habits, and Pro is $49.99 a year with calendar and health app sync, automation and API access. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.6 from about 7,100 ratings. Know the limits: the free plan stops at 3 active habits and 1 reminder per habit, Plus is sold by the year only, and the vendor's web pricing page shows a different offer, a single Premium plan at $2.49 a month billed annually or $59.99 once.

2nd
3.4GPA
Finch
Free plan · from $5.99
For: People who want to pay nothing and like a game-like reward
Finch ties daily goals to a virtual pet bird: checking off goals and self-care activities earns energy that sends the bird on adventures, alongside guided reflections, mood check-ins, breathing exercises and a focus timer. The core features are free on iPhone and Android, and its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.9 from about 760,000 ratings. It is second because it is a self-care app more than a plain tracker, and it runs on phones only: no web or desktop version is listed. Finch Plus adds more reflection prompts, activities and timer options, and the App Store lists it from $5.99 to $69.99 without billing periods, so check the offer shown in the app before subscribing.

Table Habit
Free
For: People who want a free tracker with no account, on phone and desktop
Table Habit is a free, open-source habit tracker with every feature on Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows and Linux and no ads, in-app purchases or account. Each habit earns a score that rises as you keep to it, for habits to build and habits to avoid, with a check-in heatmap and charts on each habit's page. It works offline, and devices can sync through a WebDAV server such as Nextcloud or Koofr. It is third because it asks more of you than the two above: that server is the only way to sync and you provide it yourself, home screen widgets are not yet released, and there is no web version. It is a one-person project supported by donations.

Part 05 · Keep or make

Keep or make?

Which are worth paying for, and which you could make yourself

3

Simple enough to make yourself, of 44

Some software does something you couldn’t reasonably build yourself. Some is simple enough that an AI app builder could make the core of it in an afternoon. Here’s where habit trackers land, by the same rules for every tool.

15
Keep it
It does something you could not reasonably make for yourself, or it costs nothing.
26
Your call
You could make the core of it, and you would give something up.
3
You could make this
What it does is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well, and it charges every month.

Worth keeping

Habitica
The plain part of Habitica you could make: habit tracking and tasks. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
OpenHabitTracker
OpenHabitTracker is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
Table Habit
Table Habit is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
Awesome Habits
The plain part of Awesome Habits you could make: habit tracking and goals. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

You could make these yourself

Brili$49.99 a year
Atoms$39.99 a year
Me+$39.99 a year

What each costs a year on its cheapest paid plan, which is what making your own would save. A judgement from each listing and our own testing.
