# Habit Tracker vs Skilltree

The clearest difference is rating: Habit Tracker at 4.9 against Skilltree's 4.7. Habit Tracker also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Skilltree's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (286 vs 52). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habit Tracker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Skilltree sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Habit Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skilltree has 286 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Habit Tracker's written reviews are positive against 93% of Skilltree's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Habit Tracker ships an update fortnightly, Skilltree weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
