- Skip it if you have an iPhone, as there's no iOS version and App Store apps using the name are unauthorized copies
- Not for you if you want habits on more than one device, since there's no account or built-in sync
- Too light for habits you're trying to quit, since only positive habits are tracked
- Watch out: backups rely on Android's backup service or a file you export yourself

How we grade them
| 2.8GPAHabitMindGood | 2.8GPALoop Habit TrackerGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AThe site says free forever and lists no paid plans or limits. That's free, though the claim isn't backed by a pricing page. | AFree: no ads, no in-app purchases, no habit limit, GPLv3 on Google Play and F-Droid. This category's cheapest quarter starts at $1.99 a month, and Loop charges nothing. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree outright according to the home page, with no card. No cap is listed. | AEverything is free and there's no cap to walk into: unlimited habits, every feature, widgets, graphs and export. No account either, so nothing to sign up to and nothing to cancel. |
| Features | CGoals, friends and group challenges, analytics, reminders, achievements and calendar sync. The AI insights claim isn't spelled out. | CThe strength score rates a habit by exponential smoothing, so one bad week dents it instead of resetting it, with flexible schedules, skips, widgets, graphs and CSV or SQLite export. But the listing names two gaps: no account or built-in sync, and only positive habits, so quitting has to be reworded. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It's a web app with a sign-in, and you build your own habits. | BNo store rating on record, but nothing to set up: install it, add a habit, tick it, and you can check or dismiss from the notification. The one idea to get your head round is the score, which isn't the streak you're used to. |
| Platforms and integrations | CBrowser only. No iPhone or Android app is listed. | DOne operating system. Android, and the FAQ says flatly there's no iOS version and that App Store apps using the name are unauthorised copies. No sync, so no second device either, and Tasker is the only thing it talks to. |
| Best for | a free browser habit tracker with friends | a free Android habit tracker with no ads |

Worth knowing
HabitMind
- The site gives no pricing page, so whether paid plans are planned or exist could not be confirmed.
- It runs in the browser; no native iPhone or Android apps are listed.
- The user and rating figures on the homepage are the maker's own and were not checked.
Loop Habit Tracker
- Android only: the FAQ says there is no iOS version and that App Store apps using the name are unauthorized copies.
- There is no account or built-in sync; backups rely on Android's backup service or a manually exported file.
- Only positive habits are tracked, so a habit to quit has to be rephrased, for example as a smoke-free day.
- Version 2.3.1 on F-Droid requires Android 9.0 or newer.

Loop Habit Tracker
- Habit score
- A formula based on exponential smoothing rates the strength of each habit. Every repetition raises the score, and a missed day lowers it without resetting progress.
- Flexible schedules
- Besides daily habits, schedules such as 3 times per week or every other day are supported. A day can be marked as skipped, which leaves the score and streak unchanged.
- Reminders
- Each habit can have its own reminder at a chosen time of day, and a habit can be checked or dismissed directly from the notification.
- Home screen widgets
- Widgets for checkmarks, frequency, habit strength, history and streaks let you track habits from the home screen without opening the app.
- Graphs and statistics
- Graphs show how each habit has developed over time, and the full history of a habit can be scrolled back through.
- Data export and Tasker support
- Data can be exported to CSV spreadsheets or an SQLite database file, and other apps such as Tasker can add checkmarks.

More comparisons
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.
