# Tiny Habits vs Pathlings

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Habits at 5.0 against Pathlings's 4.6. Pathlings's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Habits sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pathlings sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Habits holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pathlings has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tiny Habits ships an update monthly, Pathlings weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
