How we grade them
| 2.8GPAHabitifyGood | 2.0GPAHabitWaveFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CNo price on its site, so it can't be placed against $4.99 for the typical tracker. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | CThe terms say some features need a purchase, which suggests a free base app, but the site doesn't say what's included. |
| Features | BIt covers the whole job: habits laid out across the day, reminders by time, location or habit stack, streaks, a calendar, completion rates, notes with a mood log, timers, challenges with friends, checklists and off mode. Plus is annual-only, and checklists, off mode and health and calendar sync sit on Pro. | CGood and bad habits, stacking, templates, accountability, a calendar and an AI coach. What sits behind the purchase isn't stated. |
| Ease of use | B4.6 on the App Store from about 7,100 ratings, a shade under the 4.7 an A needs. Your habits are set out across the day rather than in one long list, so you can see what's next without digging. | BNo store rating figure on record. It's an app you install and start using. |
| Platforms and integrations | AiPhone, Android, Mac, Apple Watch and the web, connected to Apple Health, Health Connect, Fitbit, Strava, Google and Apple Calendar, Zapier and IFTTT, with an API and a documented MCP connector for ChatGPT and Claude on Pro. | DAndroid only. The iOS version is listed as in development, and there's no web version. |
| Best for | one habit tracker on every device you own | Android habits with an AI coach |

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.
