Which one is for you
Pick HabitMind if
- Fits if you want a free habit tracker in the browser
- Works for people who'd like to join friends in group challenges
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a phone app, as none is listed
- Watch out: the 10,000 users and 4.9 rating on the home page are the maker's own and unchecked
- Watch out: there's no pricing page, so paid plans may follow
- Watch out: the AI insights aren't described beyond a label
Pick Streaks if
- Fits if all your devices are Apple and you track 24 habits or fewer
- Works for people who'd sooner pay $5.99 once than subscribe
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you use Android or Windows, as it's Apple devices only
- Not for you if you want to try before you buy, since there's no free version or trial
- Tight if you track a lot, because it stops at 24 tasks
- Watch out: a broken chain resets the streak to zero, unless you set the task's days or a weekly frequency
- Too light for a household on mixed phones, since sharing works only with other Streaks users on Apple
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAHabitMindGood | 2.4GPAStreaksFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | A$5.99 once, and that purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple Vision with no in-app purchases listed. This category's middle subscription is $3.33 a month, so the price equals under two months of that. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree outright according to the home page, with no card. No cap is listed. | FNothing free at all. It's a paid download at $5.99 and the listing shows no free version and no trial, so you buy it to find out whether it suits you. |
| Features | CGoals, friends and group challenges, analytics, reminders, achievements and calendar sync. The AI insights claim isn't spelled out. | CIt does streaks: days you can skip without breaking the chain, a weekly frequency instead of daily, Health-linked tasks like steps that complete themselves, negative tasks, timed tasks, widgets and Watch complications. But the listing names the ceiling at 24 tasks, and this is a smaller job than the category's. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It's a web app with a sign-in, and you build your own habits. | A4.8 on the App Store from about 27,000 ratings, an A on our ladder. Pick a task from the list or write your own, then tap it each day. |
| Platforms and integrations | CBrowser only. No iPhone or Android app is listed. | CApple only: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple Vision, synced through iCloud, with Apple Health and Siri Shortcuts. No Android, Windows or web version is offered, so a household on mixed phones can't share it. |

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.
