# HabitPattern vs Ember

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Ember at 5 against HabitPattern's 1. On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HabitPattern sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Ember sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for HabitPattern against 5.0 for Ember. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ember has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
