EVERYTHING YOU NEED, NOTHING YOU DON'T โข Daily, weekly, and monthly habits โข Smart reminders with multiple times per day โข Streaks, completion rates, and consistency tracking โข 28-day activity heatmaps and per-habit history โข Tap to complete, long-press to edit, swipe to archive or delete DESIGN THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY Hand-tuned typography in Fraunces and Inter. Dynamic light and dark themes. AMOLED-friendly true black mode. Subtle haptic feedback that rewards without distracting. PRIVACY-FIRST, ALWAYS Your habits stay on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TapLock card at none against HabitNova's 1. TapLock card also leads on ads (none vs shown). HabitNova's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.5). On price there is nothing between them.
