# HelloHabit vs Orbit Rings

The clearest difference is rating: HelloHabit at 4.9 against Orbit Rings's 4.4. HelloHabit also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 8) and device support (5 vs 2). Orbit Rings's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HelloHabit sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Orbit Rings sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HelloHabit holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HelloHabit has 3.3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of HelloHabit's written reviews are positive against 83% of Orbit Rings's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

HelloHabit ships an update every 8 days, Orbit Rings every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
