# Do Habits vs Forward

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Do Habits at 17K against Forward's 5. Forward's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Do Habits sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Forward sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
