How we grade them
| 3.0GPABeeDoneVery good | 3.6GPAHabiticaExcellent | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | BThe subscription is $4.99 a month, or $47.99 for 12 months, which is ordinary money for a habit app. But it buys in-game perks like a monthly gear set, not extra task features. A Group Plan with a shared task board is $9 a month plus $3 for each additional member. |
| 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. | AHabits, Dailies, To Do's, rewards, avatars, Parties and Quests are all free, and they sync across devices. Habitica's own App Store listing says the app can be fully enjoyed for free. Most people could stay here for good. |
| 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. | AThree kinds of task: Habits you log as they happen, good or bad, Dailies on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule, and one-off To Do's. Around them sits a full RPG with gold, gear, pets, Parties and Quests. Reminders and widgets are in the phone apps. |
| 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. | B4.3 from about 3,500 App Store ratings, a B on our ladder. There's a game to learn on top of the list, with gold, health points, gear and Quests, so it asks more of you than a plain tracker. |
| 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. | AA website plus iPhone, iPad and Android apps, all synced. It's open source on GitHub, with a public API if you like to tinker. No desktop apps are listed, so on a computer it's the browser. |
| Best for | turning your to-do list into a game | turning habits and to-dos into a role-playing game |
