How we grade them
| 3.0GPABeeDoneVery good | 3.4GPAFinchVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BPro Player is $8 a month on the website, which is bang on typical for a planner, or Legend is $120 once. Oddly, the US App Store description quotes $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year, so check both before you pay. | BFinch Plus is listed on the App Store from $5.99 to $69.99 with no billing periods shown, so we can't say what a month really costs. The lowest price is about typical for habit trackers. Plus adds extras like more prompts and timer options, not essentials. |
| Free plan and trial | BNovice is free with tasks, habits and routines, and no card is needed to start. But it's 3 active habits and basic gamification only. The AI coach and the full feature set are under Pro Player. | AThe core is free: caring for the bird and its adventures, personal goals, reflections, good vibes to friends and seasonal events. Most people could stay here and never pay. |
| Features | BXP, levels and badges for finished tasks, an AI coach, an app blocker tied to your daily goal, a focus timer, a task splitter, habits and routines. Plenty of motivation tricks. But its pages list no calendar sync or any other integration. | ADaily goals tied to a virtual pet, guided reflections, mood check-ins with trends, and insights that pull together mood, journal tags and goals. Breathing exercises, soundscapes and a focus timer are built in too. That's a lot more than a tick list. |
| Ease of use | BWe have no App Store rating on record for it, so a B is as high as we go. The blocker resets each morning with no setup, and Task Roulette picks a task for you when you can't decide where to start. | A4.9 from about 760,000 App Store ratings, which is enormous. New users start with a few suggested goals, so there's nothing to set up before you begin. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, Mac, iPhone and Android, which covers most people. But there's no Windows app, and its pages list no integrations or API, so it stands apart from your other tools. | CiPhone and Android only. The vendor lists no web or desktop version, and there are no integrations on record. |
| Best for | turning your to-do list into a game | building habits with a virtual pet |
