# Habit Tracker vs Then

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Habit Tracker at 145K against Then's 22. Habit Tracker also leads on chart position (#130 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). Then's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 69%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habit Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Then sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Habit Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Tracker has 145K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Habit Tracker's written reviews are positive against 88% of Then's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Habit Tracker ships an update every 6 days, Then every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
