How we grade them
| 2.2GPAGyroscopeFair | 2.8GPAHabitifyGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo membership price on its public pages, so it sits in the middle by default. You can't weigh it against $4.99 for the typical habit tracker. | 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 | CThe listing describes a free app with paid One and Max memberships, but doesn't say what the free part covers. | 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. |
| Features | CA health score, device sync, an AI coach, habit tests and food scanning.

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.
