Pocket helps you save up for what you want โ one daily habit at a time. The amounts in Pocket aren't real money. They're numbers you choose: pick a goal, attach the habits that earn it, and check them off. Every check-in adds the amount you chose to the pocket โ and when it hits 100%, you've earned the reward. Pocket never touches your accounts; the money stays in your own bank, on your own terms. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a pocket for something you're saving toward โ a trip, a camera, an emergency fund, anything. 2. Add the daily habits that earn it. Run 5km. Read 20 minutes. Skip takeout. Each habit is worth whatever amount you set โ these are numbers you pick, not real currency. 3. Check off your habits each day. Watch the pocket fill up. 4. When a pocket hits 100%, celebrate the win โ then reward yourself in your own bank app, using your own money. Your data stays on your device. Pocket has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs. Nothing is uploaded anywhere โ not even anonymously. If you delete the app, your data is gone with it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: First05 at every 2 days against Pocket's fortnightly. First05 also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
