Strides

Four tracker types: Habit trackers log repeating actions, Target trackers aim for a number by a date, Average trackers follow a repeating number, and Project trackers break work into milestones.
Templates and SMART goal setup: Start from more than 150 tracker templates or set a SMART goal through a 3-step process, then adjust the defaults.
Daily Goals view: Filters all trackers down to the ones that need logging now, based on their repeat settings. Getting every tracker done earns a perfect day.
Charts and progress reports: Each tracker has progress bars with an on-track pace line, streaks, success rates, calendars and line charts. Reports summarize all trackers by week, month, year or all time.
Reminders and bad-habit tracking: Trackers can have as many reminders as you like on the days they are due, and a Bad Habit setting counts down against a limit instead of up to a goal.
Accountability partners: Invite other people to see progress on chosen goals or habits, or work on a goal together. This needs iCloud and works on Apple devices only.

Timecap

Time, quantity and completion activities: An activity can run a timer, count how many times something was done or be ticked off as complete, so timed sessions, tallies and check-offs sit in one list.
Goals and limits: Each activity is either a goal to reach, such as meditating 4 times a week, or a limit to stay under, such as 2 cigarettes a week. Periods can be daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or set weekdays.
Reminders and limit alerts: Reminders arrive when a goal is close to being missed, and a notification is sent when a limit is reached.
Streaks and reports: Statistics include a calendar view, a success percentage and a streak counter that compares the current streak with the longest one.
Widgets: Home screen widgets give access to habits without opening the app. The iOS release notes also mention lock screen widgets and an Apple Watch complication.
Backup and sync: Data stays on the device unless backup is turned on. With backup enabled it is stored on Timecap's server and syncs between iOS and Android devices.
