# Habit Tracker vs Calflow

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Habit Tracker at 148K against Calflow's 131. Habit Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days) and chart position (#166 vs unranked). Calflow's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 69%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habit Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Calflow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 4.9 for Calflow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Tracker has 148K ratings behind it against 131, 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 89% of Calflow's.

Habit Tracker ships an update every 3 days, Calflow every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
