Habitify vs HabitKit

Habitify

• One habit tracker shared across iPhone, Android, Mac and the web
• Habits that can be confirmed from health or fitness data
• Students, who get 50% off the first year of Pro Annual

HabitKit

• People who want to see a year of each habit at a glance
• Users who want no account and their habit data kept on the phone
• Buyers who would rather pay once than subscribe
• Tracking up to four habits for free with no time limit

Habitify

• The free plan allows 3 active habits and 1 reminder per habit.
• Plus is annual only and leaves out checklists, off mode, calendar and health sync, automation and API access, which need Pro.
• Prices here are US App Store prices; the vendor's web pricing page shows a single Premium plan at $2.49 a month billed annually or $59.99 once.
• The Family subscription is described as iOS only.

HabitKit

• The free version stops at four active habits; widgets, charts, extra reminders, and export and import need Pro.
• Nothing syncs between devices: moving to a new phone means exporting a file and importing it, and export and import are Pro features.
• The US App Store lists several amounts for each Pro period, such as $0.99, $1.99 and $4.99 for one month; the app shows the price that applies.
• Listed for iPhone and Android only. The help center says there is no Apple Watch app, and no web or desktop version is listed.

Habitify

Daily schedule and reminders

Habits are laid out across the day with reminders. Free allows 1 reminder per habit; Plus adds unlimited reminders by time, location or habit stack.

Progress tracking

A calendar, streak counts and completion rates show how consistently each habit is being kept.

Timers, notes and mood log

A countdown timer and text notes with a mood log are free. Pro adds Pomodoro and stopwatch timers with background sound, and notes with images.

Health and fitness sync

Habits can be linked to data from Apple Health, Health Connect, Fitbit and Strava. Health app sync is listed as a Pro feature.

Challenges with friends

Friends can compete in habit challenges, and there are monthly leaderboard challenges.

API, automation and AI tools

Pro includes API access and Zapier and IFTTT connections. The help center also documents an MCP connector for AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude.

HabitKit

Tile grid for every habit

Each habit gets a year-long grid with one tile per day and one column per week, and the dashboard offers three views for seeing all habits together.

Yes/No, Count and Measure tracking

A habit can be a daily tick, a whole-number count or a measured amount with a unit and up to three decimal places. Counts and amounts use a daily goal or, for quit habits, a stay-below limit.

Streaks and flexible goals

Streaks follow a daily, weekly or monthly goal, such as 3 times a week or 20 times a month, so planned days off are not misses. There is no streak freeze or skip day.

Home screen widgets

Widgets on iPhone and Android show habit grids and let you log a habit without opening the app. They are part of Pro; without it a widget shows a padlock.

Siri and iOS Shortcuts

Seven iOS Shortcuts actions log amounts and notes, edit past days, read progress or open a habit, and can be run with Siri or from automations.

On-device data and backups

Habit data stays on the phone with no account. The app keeps seven daily backups that are free to restore, and Pro adds export and import of one JSON file.
