- Pricey if you need to assign shared tasks, as that's a Group Plan at $9 a month plus $3 a member

- Not for you if you want a Mac or Windows app or integrations, as none are listed
- Watch out: public pull requests to the open-source code have been paused since August 2026
Pick LevelHabit if

How we grade them
| 3.4GPAHabiticaVery good | 2.0GPALevelHabitFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AThe tracker is free and open source, and the vendor's own listing says the app can be fully enjoyed for free. The $4.99 a month subscription buys in-game items, not features. The one real paid feature is a shared task board, at $9 a month plus $3 for each extra member. | CPremium is $49.99 a year ($4.17 a month) or $6.99 monthly, against a $4.99 middle. Lifetime is $59.99. |
| Free plan and trial | ANo cap anywhere to walk into: Habits, Dailies and To Do's, rewards you set yourself, avatar customization, Parties and Quests, synced across your devices. Gems, the in-game currency for gear and outfits, are the only thing sold from $0.99. | CFree for 3 daily habits and 1 to quit, plus a 7-day Premium trial. That's a cap you'll hit. |
| Features | AHabits logged as they happen, Dailies on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule and one-off To Do's, plus reminders, widgets and sync. On top sits a role-playing game with gear, pets, health points, Parties and Quests, which its rivals here don't offer. | CXP, levels, badges, pets, habits to quit and sync across devices. Unlimited habits, all 99 levels and streak shields are Premium. |
| Ease of use | C4.3 on the App Store from about 3,500 ratings, which on our ladder needs ten times that volume to earn a B. There's a vocabulary waiting too: Habits against Dailies against To Do's, Gems, Mystic Hourglasses, Parties and Quests. | CNo store rating on record. A web app where you build your own habits and an account is needed. |
| Platforms and integrations | BThe web app, iPhone and Android, all synced, which covers a laptop and whatever's in your pocket. No Mac or Windows app is listed, and nothing on record that it connects to: the code is on GitHub, but public pull requests have been paused since August 2026. | CWeb only, which you can add to a home screen. Store apps are listed as coming in Q1 2027. |

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.
