# Habit Hunter vs TaskHero

The clearest difference is ads: Habit Hunter at none against TaskHero's shown. Habit Hunter also leads on ratings volume (793 vs 34). TaskHero's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habit Hunter sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and TaskHero sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.6 for Habit Hunter against 4.7 for TaskHero. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Hunter has 793 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Habit Hunter's written reviews are positive against 85% of TaskHero's.

Habit Hunter ships an update monthly, TaskHero every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
