HabitMinder vs Productive - Habit Tracker

HabitMinder

• Health habits such as steps, hydration, breathing and sleep
• Apple Watch owners who want to log habits from the wrist
• People who would rather start from ready-made habit ideas

Productive - Habit Tracker

HabitMinder

• The App Store listing says Premium unlocks unlimited habits and advanced stats but does not state how many habits the free version allows.
• The US App Store lists Premium items at prices from $0.99 to $59.99, so the amount shown in the app may differ from the $9.99 yearly plan.
• The Android app was last updated on Aug 26, 2022, according to its Google Play listing, which gives in-app prices of $2.99 to $19.99 per item.
• The website links to a Mac App Store version, but that listing no longer loads on the US store.

Productive - Habit Tracker

• App Store prices differ from the website: the US listing shows Premium at $10.99 for 1 month and from $19.99 to $79.99 for 1 year.
• The free version limits the number of habits and shows ads; the vendor's pages do not state the limit.
• Location-based reminders, per-habit statistics and full-text articles are Premium features.
• Apps are listed for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android only; no desktop app is listed.

HabitMinder

Pre-defined and custom habits

Pick from more than 50 ready-made habit ideas such as walking, hydration, breathing and stretching, or create your own with a goal, habit type, color, icon and reminders.

Sessions and mini apps

Each habit's detail screen has a purpose-built session screen, and mini apps for hydration, breathing and focus sessions help you complete the habit rather than only log it.

Statistics and streaks

See completion rates, streaks and detailed statistics for each habit, including calendar and year-by-month views. Advanced stats are part of Premium.

Apple Health sync

Some habits, sleep included, read their data from the Apple Health app automatically. The vendor says no data is sent outside the device.

Apple Watch, widgets and Siri

Log habits from the Apple Watch app, from home-screen widgets, or by voice with Siri Shortcuts phrases such as "Log 15 squats".

Pause, vacation mode and grouping

A habit can be paused on its own, vacation mode pauses all habits at once, and habits can be grouped by morning, afternoon, night or all day.

Productive - Habit Tracker

Create, complete, pause or stop habits, add notes to them, and give each one its own name, icon and color. A library of habit templates offers starting points.
