Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Goal Tracker at none against Productive's shown. Goal Tracker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Productive's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (91K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
