Which one is for you
Pick Habit Quest if
- Fits if you work in Chrome and like a game layer on your to-dos
- Works for people who want focus timers and blocking in one place
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a phone app, as there isn't one on the pages read
- Not for you if you won't sign in with Google
- Tight if you want charts and history, which are Premium
- Watch out: timers and site blocking run only in desktop Chrome
Pick Streaks if
- Fits if all your devices are Apple and you track 24 habits or fewer
- Works for people who'd sooner pay $5.99 once than subscribe
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you use Android or Windows, as it's Apple devices only
- Not for you if you want to try before you buy, since there's no free version or trial
- Tight if you track a lot, because it stops at 24 tasks
- Watch out: a broken chain resets the streak to zero, unless you set the task's days or a weekly frequency
- Too light for a household on mixed phones, since sharing works only with other Streaks users on Apple

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.
