Verdict

The call

Productive and Habit Tracker both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Habit Tracker's written reviews are positive against 47% of Productive's. Habit Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown). Productive's advantage is ratings volume (91K vs 29) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
