Streaks vs Habitify: which habit tracker should you pick?
Choose Streaks if you're all-Apple and want a one-time $5.99 purchase with no subscription and a great Apple Watch app. Choose Habitify if you use Android or a Mac alongside your phone, want a free tier for three habits, or need integrations, its Premium is $2.49/month billed annually. Streaks wins on pay-once simplicity within Apple; Habitify wins on cross-platform reach and a free entry point.
| Streaks | Habitify | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $5.99 one-time | Free (3 habits); $2.49/mo annual; $59.99 lifetime |
| Free tier | No (paid up front) | Yes, 3 habits |
| Platforms | iPhone, iPad, Watch, Mac, Vision Pro | iOS, Android, macOS |
| Apple Watch | Yes | Yes |
| Integrations | Apple Health | Apple Health, Google Calendar, Zapier |
| Subscription? | No | Yes (for Premium) |
Where Streaks wins
No subscription, ever. Pay $5.99 once (verified on the App Store) and it's yours, with a polished Apple Watch experience and up to 24 habits. If you're committed to Apple and value owning software outright, Streaks is hard to beat.
Where Habitify wins
Reach and a free start. Habitify runs on iOS, Android and macOS, has a free three-habit tier, and integrates with Google Calendar and Zapier, none of which Streaks offers. If you ever use a non-Apple device or want automation, Habitify is the safer long-term bet.
Bottom line
All-in on Apple and allergic to subscriptions? Streaks. Multi-platform, or want to try before paying? Habitify. Neither has a meaningfully "smarter" streak than the other, for that, see the forgiving-streak comparison.
