# Weekly Planner vs Habit Tracker

The clearest difference is update cadence: Habit Tracker at every 6 days against Weekly Planner's every 3 weeks. Habit Tracker also leads on ratings volume (145K vs 15K) and chart position (#131 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weekly Planner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Habit Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Weekly Planner against 4.8 for Habit Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Tracker has 145K ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 70% and 69% positive.

Weekly Planner ships an update every 3 weeks, Habit Tracker every 6 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
