# Habit Tracker vs CanGoal

Habit Tracker and CanGoal both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of CanGoal's written reviews are positive against 69% of Habit Tracker's. Habit Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (145K vs 72) and chart position (#122 vs unranked). 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 CanGoal sells 3 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 — 4.8 for Habit Tracker against 4.7 for CanGoal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Tracker has 145K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Habit Tracker's written reviews are positive against 95% of CanGoal's.

Habit Tracker ships an update every 6 days, CanGoal every 11 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
