Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Goal Tracker at none against Progress's shown. Goal Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Progress's advantage is ratings volume (900 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Progress sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Goal Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Goal Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Progress has 900 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Progress ships an update every 4 weeks, Goal Tracker every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
