Habitify vs stickK

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

stickK

• People who follow through when money or reputation is on the line
• Goals that a friend, coach or family member can verify as Referee
• Clubs, teams and workplaces running a shared challenge as a Campaign

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.

stickK

• stickK keeps 50% of forfeited stakes sent to an anti-charity, plus contract costs, under its contract terms last updated June 12, 2024.
• Those terms removed a $5 creation fee and ended charity and friend-or-foe recipients for new contracts; older help articles still describe all three.
• A contract cannot be deleted once it begins; the terms allow cancellation only with a physician's medical excuse form.
• Prices for the paid Campaign plans (All-access and Pro) are not published in the help center; they appear inside a Campaign admin account.

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.

stickK

Commitment Contracts

A contract with yourself that fixes a goal, a start and end date and a reporting schedule. After creation you can only add a Referee, invite Supporters and change its privacy settings.

Reports on a fixed schedule

You report success or failure daily, weekly or once at the end. A report not filed within 24 hours (daily) or 72 hours (weekly and single-report contracts) counts as unsuccessful.

Referees

A person you invite verifies your reports and has the final word: a Referee can turn a reported success into a failure. Without one, the contract runs "On Your Honor".

Money stakes

Set an amount that is charged to your card within 48 hours of each unsuccessful reporting period. Under the June 2024 terms, new stakes go to an anti-charity you pick or to stickK itself.

Supporters and Commitment Journal

Supporters can be emailed your result after each report and can comment in the Commitment Journal, where you add notes and progress photos.

Communities and Campaigns

A public contract can be listed in up to three of ten topic Communities. Campaigns bundle a set of contracts for a group, whose members join with an activation code.
