# Habi vs Subtext

The clearest difference is rating: Subtext at 5.0 against Habi's 4.6. Subtext also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Habi's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habi sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Subtext sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subtext holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habi has 27 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Habi's written reviews are positive against 100% of Subtext's.

Habi ships an update every 4 days, Subtext daily. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
