How we grade them
| 3.8GPAHabitifyExcellent | 3.0GPATangerineVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | APlus is $29.99 a year, so about $2.50 a month, for unlimited habits and reminders. That's well under what habit apps usually ask. Pro is $49.99 a year, which is still fair, but $8.99 if you pay by the month. Plus is sold by the year only. | BPremium is $39.99 a year after a 7-day free trial, or $6.99 a month, so yearly comes out about 52% cheaper. That's ordinary money for a habit app, and this one throws in mood tracking and a journal. Careful: the App Store description still quotes $29.99 and $4.99. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree for good, with cross-platform sync, notes with a mood log and a countdown timer. But it's 3 active habits at a time and 1 reminder per habit. A morning run, reading and water, and you're full. | BFree to use for as long as you like, with habits, reminders, mood tracking and journaling. But there are caps on habits and on reminders per habit, and Tangerine's pages don't say what they are. So no A from us. |
| Features | AHabits laid out across the day, reminders by time, location or habit stack, streaks, a calendar and completion rates. Then the deep end: sync with Apple Health, Health Connect, Fitbit and Strava, challenges with friends, checklists, NFC tags and timers. A fair bit of that is Pro. | AHabits on your own schedule with reminders and streaks, and health habits like walking distance or flights climbed completed straight from Apple Health. Add mood check-ins, a searchable journal with guided templates and weekly reports. Insights & Stats are Premium. |
| Ease of use | A4.6 from about 7,100 App Store ratings, which just makes an A on our ladder. Your habits are set out across the day, so you can see what's next without digging. | A4.7 from about 6,600 App Store ratings. Three jobs sit in one app, and guided templates mean you needn't start a journal entry from a blank page. |
| Platforms and integrations | AiPhone, Android, Mac, Apple Watch and the web. It connects to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Zapier and IFTTT, and Pro has an API. The help center documents an MCP connector for ChatGPT and Claude too. | DiPhone, iPad and Apple Watch only, which is really one operating system, and the current version needs iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or watchOS 26. No Android, Mac or web version is listed. Apple Health is the one thing it connects to. |
| Best for | one habit tracker on every device you own | habits, mood and a journal in one iPhone app |
