Which one is for you
Pick HabitBull if
- Fits if you want a streak counter on your phone and track a handful of habits
- Works for people who want to pay once, as there is a $39.99 lifetime option
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as the cap is 5 habits
- Skip it if you want a web or desktop version, as it is phones and tablets only
- Watch out: cloud backup and sync, CSV export and widgets are Premium, and Premium is tied to a HabitBull account
- Watch out: one App Store reviewer reports ads in the free version
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 we grade them
| 3.0GPAHabitBullVery good | 2.4GPAStreaksFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | APremium is $19.99 a year, about $1.67 a month, against a category middle of $4.16. Lifetime is $39.99, less than a year of that middle price. | A$5.99 once, and that purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple Vision with no in-app purchases listed. This category's middle subscription is $3.33 a month, so the price equals under two months of that. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree for up to 5 habits with streaks, reminders, charts and notes. Premium has a 1-week trial on the yearly plan. Five habits is a cap you will hit. | FNothing free at all. It's a paid download at $5.99 and the listing shows no free version and no trial, so you buy it to find out whether it suits you. |
| Features | BStreaks, flexible goals, reminders, charts, notes, sync, CSV export and a PIN lock. The listing names no gap in the core job. | CIt does streaks: days you can skip without breaking the chain, a weekly frequency instead of daily, Health-linked tasks like steps that complete themselves, negative tasks, timed tasks, widgets and Watch complications. But the listing names the ceiling at 24 tasks, and this is a smaller job than the category's. |
| Ease of use | A4.7 from about 8,100 App Store ratings, and nothing to set up beyond adding a habit. | A4.8 on the App Store from about 27,000 ratings, an A on our ladder. Pick a task from the list or write your own, then tap it each day. |
| Platforms and integrations | CiPhone, iPad and Android only. No web or desktop version, and no integrations are listed. | CApple only: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple Vision, synced through iCloud, with Apple Health and Siri Shortcuts. No Android, Windows or web version is offered, so a household on mixed phones can't share it. |
| Best for | streak tracking on iPhone and Android | simple streak-keeping on Apple devices |

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.
