# Goal Tracking vs Stylus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stylus at 100% against Goal Tracking's 0%. Stylus also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). Goal Tracking's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.0) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Goal Tracking sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stylus sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Goal Tracking holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Goal Tracking's written reviews are positive against 100% of Stylus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Goal Tracking ships an update every 6 weeks, Stylus every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
