Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReCobra at none against Habit tracker's 6. ReCobra also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Habit tracker's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habit tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. ReCobra asks for nothing beyond the download.
ReCobra holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit tracker has 37 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Habit tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of ReCobra's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
