What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

GPA, above 41 of the 48 other habit trackers we grade

The report card
Best for streak tracking on iPhone and Android
HabitBull is a streak-based habit tracker for iPhone, iPad and Android. The free version stops at 5 habits, and sync, CSV export, widgets and unlimited habits need Premium. It has no web or desktop version.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Premium is $19.99 a year, about $1.67 a month, against a category middle of $4.16. Lifetime is $39.99, less than a year of that middle price. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free for up to 5 habits with streaks, reminders, charts and notes. Premium has a 1-week trial on the yearly plan. Five habits is a cap you will hit. |
| Features | B | Streaks, flexible goals, reminders, charts, notes, sync, CSV export and a PIN lock. The listing names no gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | A | 4.7 from about 8,100 App Store ratings, and nothing to set up beyond adding a habit. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | iPhone, iPad and Android only. No web or desktop version, and no integrations are listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who HabitBull is for
- Fits if you want a streak counter on your phone and track a handful of habits
- Works for people who want to pay once, as there is a $39.99 lifetime option
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free, as the cap is 5 habits
- Skip it if you want a web or desktop version, as it is phones and tablets only
- Watch out: cloud backup and sync, CSV export and widgets are Premium, and Premium is tied to a HabitBull account
- Watch out: one App Store reviewer reports ads in the free version
Good to know
Good for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
A habit tracker at its plainest is a list of habits, a tick for each day and a count of the streak.
You could make the core of HabitBull for yourself: habit tracking and goals. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $47.88 a year.
What you could make
- Habit tracking and goals: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. HabitBull’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
