TinyPick helps you make thoughtful decisions. Why did I create it? Everyday life is full of choices: where to travel, which school to choose for a child, whether to buy a home or car, change jobs, or move back home. I often overthink these decisions and overlook what matters most. So I built TinyPick to help. TinyPick helps you organize your thoughts and keep track of each step, from weighing your options to making a choice, taking action, and reviewing the outcome. Two ways to decide Pros and Cons: List and score the reasons for and against each option. Weighted Matrix: Set criteria and weights, then score and compare your options. Understand your options See the results and suggestions, along with each option’s strengths and drawbacks. Make your final choice Record your decision, your reasons, how confident you feel, and what you expect to happen. Execute and review Record when you take action, set an optional review reminder, and later compare the outcome with your expectations. Look back anytime Track your progress on the home screen and revisit past decisions, actions, and reviews. TinyPick’s suggestions are there to help you think things through. The final choice is always yours.

PlanCoach helps you get through everything you thought was too hard, one thing at a time, and actually enjoy the process. Built on CBT and cognitive offloading: serious about beating procrastination, and ADHD-friendly. What makes PlanCoach different from its many imitators? ================================= 1. A larger community. Since a viral post in July 2025 (300K likes, 3M+ views), PlanCoach has grown to hundreds of thousands of users. 2. Built with the community. Shaped by 1,000+ pieces of community feedback, with constant iteration and great reviews. 3. Covers the whole task cycle (start, execute, focus, capture distracting thoughts, record reflections, time receipts), so you can get back on track from any stage. 4. Deep customisation. Coaches, personal profiles, per-coach rewrites and lorebooks give you huge freedom and fun. The Psychology Behind It ======== 1. Zeigarnik effect: unfinished tasks keep occupying your mind. Making a plan lets you put them down, and once you start, you want to finish. → AI breaks tasks into steps, with a first step small enough to start now; widgets, Live Activities and persistent reminders keep it in sight. 2. Cognitive offloading: your mind is for thinking, not for storing. → Shake to save a thought to Idea Capture; Navigation Mode keeps the current step on screen, so you only need to look, not remember; lorebooks and your profile remember your context. 3. CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): act first, and your mood will follow. → Coaches turn tasks into concrete actions and answer self-doubt with encouragement; "Explain it" shows the reasoning behind each step, dissolving resistance. 4. Tiny starts (Atomic Habits): make the bar so low you can't fail. → Revise steps until they are small enough; Shortcuts can start a routine on a schedule or with an NFC tap. 5. Instant positive feedback: make progress visible. → Check-ins, the Growth System and time receipts turn your real-world effort into results you can see. Key Features ====== 1. Multiple Coaches 4 carefully selected built-in coaches: Coach W gets you started, the cool big sister is blunt and balanced, Miss S handles chained tasks, and the NPC Mage turns boring tasks into role-playing adventures. 2. Coach DLC Download the coaches you like: a minister, a butler, a communication coach, a sleep coach, even a chef… one app, endless ways to play. 3. Growth System Make your real-world effort visible inside the app, so you fall in love with the version of yourself that keeps improving. 4. Personal Profile Coaches refer to your profile every time they plan, so steps fit your situation and encouragement hits home. Each coach can see its own rewrite of your profile (the "Master Chef" sees your food preferences; the "Minister" sees that you are a Spanish princess). 5. Navigation Mode (Focus) An ADHD-friendly focus mode: large always-visible text (GTD-inspired), progressive step disclosure and course correction, so focus comes naturally. 6. Idea Capture (Not a TODO List) "Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them." Shake firmly on any screen to capture an idea instantly. You don't need a brilliant idea every time. Keep capturing them, and the rare good ones will eventually connect into real change. 7. Lorebook Define a dictionary for your own world, packaging complex instructions, technical terms and personal SOPs into reusable entries. 8. Apple Watch Support! Great for cooking, exercising or walking, when you can't keep looking at your phone. 9. Iterative Revision Good plans are made by revising. Refine yours endlessly with AI until it truly fits. ==== The app price is increasing month by month, and the lifetime purchase will gradually rise to ¥268. The earlier you buy, the better the deal!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TinyPick at 5.0 against PlanCoach's 4.5. TinyPick also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PlanCoach's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. TinyPick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PlanCoach sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TinyPick holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlanCoach has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of TinyPick's written reviews are positive against 84% of PlanCoach's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TinyPick ships an update fortnightly, PlanCoach every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
