# 生日本 vs Tiny Habits Tracker

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Habits Tracker at 4.7 against 生日本's 4.1. Tiny Habits Tracker also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (86% vs 58%). 生日本's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 生日本 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Habits Tracker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
