Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Routine Tracker at 100% against Habit's 37%. Routine Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). Habit's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Habit sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and Routine Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Habit holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit has 2.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Habit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Routine Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Habit ships an update every 2 months, Routine Tracker every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
