Habit Builder is a habit tracker with no streaks to lose. It counts the days you show up, and that count only goes up. Miss a day and it stays blank. Nothing resets. Need a break? Hold the day's square to make it a rest day, and it still counts. A bad week costs you nothing, so there's never a reason to start over. What's in it - Today lists the day's habits by part of the day. Tap a square when it's done, hold it to rest. - Habits for every day, a few days a week, or a count, like 8 glasses of water. - Forgot yesterday? Step back on the week at the top of Today and log it. - The Wall puts twelve weeks of every habit on one screen. - A journal for a mood and a line about any day, with a photo if you like. Lock it with Face ID. - One reminder per habit, quiet on a day you've already logged. Siri and Shortcuts can log a habit too. Your habits stay on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. There's no account to make and no ads. Export everything as a CSV whenever you like, or bring your history in from one. Habit Builder is free. I'm one developer on the Gold Coast, and I read every email: hello@thecosypeople.com.au

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Habit Builder at Free against Streaks's $5.99. Habit Builder also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 72%). Streaks's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (27K vs 17). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
