# Productive vs Habit Tracker

The clearest difference is ads: Habit Tracker at none against Productive's shown. Habit Tracker also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 47%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Productive sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 3 months and Habit Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
