# Habit Tracker vs Pacts

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pacts at 100% against Habit Tracker's 50%. Pacts also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Habit Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habit Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Pacts sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pacts holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Tracker has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Habit Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pacts's.

Habit Tracker ships an update fortnightly, Pacts every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
