# Grounded vs HABIT

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Grounded at 5.8K against HABIT's 1. HABIT's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grounded sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and HABIT sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HABIT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grounded has 5.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Grounded's written reviews are positive against 100% of HABIT's.

Grounded ships an update every 3 weeks, HABIT fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
