# Habitica vs CampingKit

The clearest difference is rating: CampingKit at 5.0 against Habitica's 4.3. CampingKit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Habitica's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 28). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habitica sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CampingKit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CampingKit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habitica has 3.6K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Habitica's written reviews are positive against 100% of CampingKit's.

Habitica ships an update every 3 weeks, CampingKit daily. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
