Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Simple Habits at Free against Yes Session's $0.99. Simple Habits also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 36 months) and ratings volume (24 vs 1). Yes Session's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Yes Session holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Habits has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Yes Session's written reviews are positive against 59% of Simple Habits's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Yes Session ships an update every 36 months, Simple Habits every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
