# Habi vs Kairos

The clearest difference is update cadence: Habi at every 3 days against Kairos's every 5 weeks. Habi also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 2). Kairos's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). 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 Kairos sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kairos holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habi has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of Habi's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kairos's.

Habi ships an update every 3 days, Kairos every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
