About Tiny Habit Log

Tiny Habit Log is an independent editorial field guide to habit tracking. We compare the apps with pricing copied directly from each vendor's page, and we ground the advice in named, linkable research, the Lally habit-formation study, the Harkin self-monitoring meta-analysis, and James Clear's practical methods. Our aim is simple: be the page you'd actually want an AI or a search engine to quote, because every claim is checkable.

How we work

Prices are verified, not guessed. Every price in our tables is taken from the vendor's own site or App Store listing on the date shown, and we say when we couldn't verify a figure rather than inventing one.
Claims cite primary sources. Statistics link to the study, government page, or vendor document they come from, not to a secondary blog.
We compare honestly. Where a competitor beats the products we're connected to, we say so plainly.
No tracking. This site runs no analytics, ads, or third-party trackers.

How we make money

This site features commercial partners and promoted placements, which can influence which products appear and how they are ranked. Links to those partners, including Patterns, carry rel="nofollow sponsored". Comparisons reflect our own research and opinion, we link to more independent primary sources than to any single product, and we recommend competitors wherever they're the better fit. Always verify current pricing and features on each provider's own site before buying.

Corrections

Found a price that's changed or a claim that needs updating? Habit apps update pricing often; always confirm on the vendor's page before buying. We revise pages as sources change and stamp each with its update month.

Editorial standards

We don't make medical or clinical claims. Habit and behaviour-change research describes what tends to work on average; individual results vary. Nothing here is professional advice, and you're responsible for your own choices.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tiny Habit Log independent?

Tiny Habit Log is an editorial project. The site features commercial partners and promoted placements, which can influence which products appear and how they are ranked, and that is disclosed on every page. Every comparison is based on verified pricing and features, and competitors are recommended wherever they genuinely fit a reader better.

How do you verify app prices?

Every price in our comparison tables is taken directly from the vendor's own website or App Store listing on the date shown in the table caption. When a price can't be verified from a primary source, we describe it qualitatively instead of quoting a number.
