# Habit Tracker vs SyncTasks

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Habit Tracker at 90% against SyncTasks's 69%. Habit Tracker also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 352). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habit Tracker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and SyncTasks sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Habit Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Tracker has 2.4K ratings behind it against 352, so its average is the more settled of the two.
