# Productive vs Habit Hub

The clearest difference is ads: Habit Hub at none against Productive's shown. Habit Hub also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 47%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Productive's advantage is ratings volume (91K vs 8.1K) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Productive sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Habit Hub sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Productive against 4.7 for Habit Hub. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Productive has 91K ratings behind it against 8.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Productive's written reviews are positive against 78% of Habit Hub's.

Productive ships an update fortnightly, Habit Hub every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
