How we grade them
| 2.6GPAEverydayGood | 2.6GPAHabitPalGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPremium is $29.99 a year, $2.50 a month, in the middle of this category, between its $1.99 cheapest quarter and its $5.99 dearest. Pay month to month and it's $7.49. The Lifetime license is $99, more than two years of the category's middle subscription. | CUnlimited Access is listed from $2.99 to $39.99 with no word on which is monthly, yearly or lifetime, so it lands in the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree forever, with all the colors, unlimited history storage, yearly charts, email and push reminders and skips. But it's 3 habits, and sync between your devices is Premium, so the free version is really one device and three chains. | CFree to start without an account, but the number of habits is limited. |
| Features | CIt covers the chain method: one board, deepening colors, skips and a no-weekends setting, break habits with descending colors, current against longest streak, and a "don't skip twice" email. That's a smaller job than this category's, though, with no numeric targets, no health data and nothing it connects to. | BStreaks, heatmaps, completion rates, Apple Health habits, widgets, Shortcuts, friends and bad-habit tracking, with nothing in the listing showing a gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | A4.7 on the App Store from about 4,500 ratings, the top of our ladder. One board, one tap per habit, and the browser extension puts it on your new tab so you don't have to remember to open anything. | BNo verified store rating on record, the site's own 4.8 is the maker's claim. No account needed, so you open it and start. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone, iPad, Android, macOS, Apple Watch and extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. No Windows or Linux app, and no integrations or API at all, which is what keeps it off an A. | BiPhone, Mac and Android, with Apple Health, Shortcuts and Watch widgets. Sync described is iCloud only. |
| Best for | not breaking the chain on one simple board | habits with widgets and Apple Health |

Key features
Everyday
- Habit board with chains
- All habits sit on a single board that shows progress at a glance, and each consecutive completed day deepens the color of a habit's chain. Habits to break get chains with descending colors.
- Skips and no-weekends
- A skip keeps a chain intact when you are ill or away and can stand in for habits that are not daily. The no-weekends option skips weekends automatically.
- Reminders
- Email and mobile push reminders, including a "don't skip twice in a row" email meant to stop one missed day from becoming two.
- Streak and completion statistics
- The current streak is shown beside the longest one, with a daily count of completed habits and totals and completion rates by year, month and week.
- New-tab browser extensions
- Extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge set the board as the browser's new-tab page, so it is seen several times a day.
- Apps across devices
- The devices page lists a web app, iPhone and iPad, Android, macOS and watchOS. The pricing page puts synchronisation between devices under Premium.
HabitPal
- Streaks and heatmaps
- Shows streaks, year-at-a-glance heatmaps, completion rates and best streaks.
- Apple Health habits
- Steps, sleep, workouts and mindful minutes can complete matching habits automatically.
- Widgets and Shortcuts
- Track from Home Screen, Lock Screen or Apple Watch widgets, and log habits through Siri and Shortcuts.
- Friends
- Share habits with friends, follow progress and send nudges; this is the only part that needs an account.
- Bad habits
- Mark a habit as one to quit and log slips to see progress over time.
- iCloud sync
- Keeps habits in sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch when you turn it on.

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
