Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Intervals™ at none against Habitica's 10. Intervals™ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.6). Habitica's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 4) and review sentiment (64% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Habitica sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Intervals™ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Intervals™ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habitica has 3.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Habitica's written reviews are positive against 50% of Intervals™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Habitica ships an update every 3 weeks, Intervals™ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
