How we grade them
| 2.0GPAGoalsOnTrackFair | 2.8GPAHabitifyGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$68 a year, about $5.67 a month, against a category middle of $4.16 and a dearer quarter that starts at $5.99. Nothing cheap, nothing wild. | CPlus is $29.99 a year, $2.50 a month, which is ordinary for this category: the cheapest quarter starts at $1.99 and the middle is $3.33. The parts people want most, health sync, calendars and the API, need Pro at $49.99 a year, and $8.99 if you pay monthly. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial. You pay at sign-up and get a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is not the same as trying it. | CFree for good, with sync across your devices. But it's 3 active habits at a time and 1 reminder each. A morning run, reading and water, and you're full. |

| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and it is a web planner where you build your own goals, templates and habits before it is useful. | B4.6 on the App Store from about 7,100 ratings, a shade under the 4.7 an A needs.

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.
