Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GoalBar at none against HelloHabit's 10. GoalBar also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 81%). HelloHabit's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 4). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
