# Productive vs Goal Tracking

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Productive at 47% against Goal Tracking's 0%. Productive also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (91K vs 2). Goal Tracking's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, 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 Goal Tracking sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Productive holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Productive has 91K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Productive's written reviews are positive against 0% of Goal Tracking's.

Productive ships an update fortnightly, Goal Tracking every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
