ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Do Habits holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Do Habits has 17K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Raise The Bar's written reviews are positive against 31% of Do Habits's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Raise The Bar ships an update every 3 weeks, Do Habits every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
