Worth knowing
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.
LevelHabit
- Native App Store and Google Play apps are listed as coming soon (Q1 2027); today it runs in a browser and can be added to a home screen.
- The free plan stops at 3 daily habits and 1 habit to quit; unlimited habits and levels past 40 need Premium.
- The maker says it is for ages 13 and up and is a habit tracker, not a medical tool.
Key features
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.
LevelHabit
- XP, levels and ranks
- Each habit check-in earns XP; the hero moves through 21 ranks, with levels up to 99 on paid plans.
- Custom pixel avatar and companion
- Build a hero from body, skin tone, hairstyles and outfits, and pick one of 32 dog and cat companions to name.
- Badges and streak flames
- 159 badges in bronze to diamond for streaks, perfect days and tasks; a flame burns beside the hero on a 7-day streak and turns blue at 30.
- Habits to quit
- Add habits to quit and log slips; clean weeks earn bonus XP. The free plan includes one.
- Sync across devices
- Signing in with Google syncs habits between phone and computer.

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.
