# Productive vs Goal Tracker

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.

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 $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Goal Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Productive has 91K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Productive ships an update fortnightly, Goal Tracker every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
