# Productive vs Goal Tracker

Productive and Goal Tracker both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of Goal Tracker's written reviews are positive against 47% of Productive's. Goal Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown). Productive's advantage is ratings volume (91K vs 26) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Productive sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 3 months and Goal Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 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 4.5 for Goal Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Productive has 91K ratings behind it against 26, 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 94% of Goal Tracker's.

Productive ships an update fortnightly, Goal Tracker every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
