# JW Habits vs Waydar

The clearest difference is monetization model: Waydar at freemium against JW Habits's subscription. Waydar also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). JW Habits's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JW Habits sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Waydar sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.9 for JW Habits against 5.0 for Waydar. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JW Habits has 54 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
