# HeyConnect vs Habit Tracker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HeyConnect at none against Habit Tracker's 10. HeyConnect also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). Habit Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 49). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for HeyConnect against 4.8 for Habit Tracker.
