# Atten vs Habit Tracker

Atten and Habit Tracker both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Atten's written reviews are positive against 52% of Habit Tracker's. Atten also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and device support (3 vs 1). Habit Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (849 vs 157). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Atten sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Habit Tracker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Atten against 4.7 for Habit Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Tracker has 849 ratings behind it against 157, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Atten's written reviews are positive against 52% of Habit Tracker's.

Atten ships an update weekly, Habit Tracker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
