|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BFull Access is listed on the US App Store at seven prices from $12.99 to $59.99, with no billing period on any of them, so we can't say what a month really costs. You do get a lot for it, and finishing at least 70% of the 66 days' tasks can win your payments back. | BPremium is $34.99 a year on Productive's website, which is $2.92 a month, or $6.99 monthly. That's the cheap end. But the US App Store lists other amounts: $10.99 for 1 month and from $19.99 to $79.99 for 1 year. So what you pay depends on where you buy. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing is free. The store listings tie every feature to a subscription, and the 66-day program only begins once you've subscribed. The Win Your Money Back offer is a refund you earn afterwards, not a trial. | BThere's a free version with reminders and streaks, but it limits your habits and shows ads, and the vendor's pages don't state the limit. The 7-day Premium trial on the website asks for a payment method at sign-up. |

Programs add daily tips and check-ins around a goal. Per-habit statistics and location reminders are Premium. |
| Ease of use | A4.7 from about 12,500 App Store ratings. You answer a questionnaire and it builds the program for you, so there's nothing to design yourself. | A4.6 from about 91,000 App Store ratings.

- Character Mode turns the program into an RPG with stats, boss fights and gear. Seasons are timed leagues in which XP sets your rank on a global leaderboard.
- Mini tools
- Built-in tools include guided meditation with an AI voice, a focus timer, book summaries, a screen blocker, a workout counter and an AI calorie tracker.
