Which one is for you
Pick Griply if
- Fits if you plan from long-term goals down to daily tasks
- Works for weekly planning with habits, tasks and time blocks next to your calendar events
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, with 2 goals, 2 habits and 5 projects
- Watch out: calendar and time blocking, subgoals, the goal timeline and habit targets are Premium only
- Pricey if you buy now: Premium rose on Oct 12, 2026 from $29.99 to $49.99 a year, and Lifetime from $89.99 to $149.99
- Not for you if you rely on Android, where the app is still described as a public beta
- Skip it if you just want to tick off a few habits, or need an API, as this is a whole planning system with two calendar links and a beta MCP server on Premium
Pick Lifetick if
- Fits if you want to plan a few goals with deadlines and steps rather than count daily streaks
- Works for small teams of 5 or more that want a weekly goal check-in
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as the limit is two goals
- Skip it if you want streak-style habit tracking, because it tracks goals and tasks
- Not for you if you use Android, as the pricing page lists no Android app
- Watch out: team plans need at least 5 people, and Professional starts at 100 people

| Value for money | CPremium is $49.99 a year, $4.16 a month, since Oct 12, 2026, up from $29.99.

Two goals is a cap you will hit quickly. |

The listing says it tracks goals and tasks rather than streak-style habits, so the habit job is only partly covered. |

There's no API, and the Android app is still described as a public beta. | BWeb and iPhone, with team check-ins and one-on-ones, but no Android app and no integrations listed. |

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.
