Avocation vs Habitify

Avocation is a habit-tracking app for planning daily routines and setting goals. It includes lessons on habit change, including ways to build helpful habits and break unwanted ones. Users can choose goals ranging from learning a language to saving for retirement, with habit templates and reminders available. Completing a habit grows a plant, and missing a day does not trigger a streak penalty. The app is available on Android and iOS; the iOS listing says it requires iOS 12.0 or later. The free version is available without charge or registration, though feature limits may apply. The Ireland App Store listing sets the free allowance at up to three habits. Registration is generally not required. The privacy policy says the app uses no cookies and requires no device permissions. It uses Firebase for app usage analysis, performance monitoring, and error logs, with data described as anonymized. Habit recommendations are informational, not medical care.

Habitify is a habit tracker for building routines, setting reminders, marking habits complete, and reviewing progress. Its tracking views include metrics, milestones, streaks, and calendar history. Users can challenge friends or join monthly challenges with leaderboards. Other listed tools include a timer, notes, mood tracking, and a privacy lock. Habitify integrates with Apple Health, Google Fit, Apple Calendar, Zapier, and IFTTT, and runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and the web. The Free plan allows three habits and includes cross-platform sync; advanced reminders, calendar integrations, Apple Health, and API and automation are unavailable on that tier. Premium costs $2.49 a month when billed annually at $29.99 a year, $10 a month when paid monthly, or 59.99 USD once for lifetime access. Its API requires a paid subscription and has a limit of 500 requests per minute per account. Habitify says habit data is stored pseudonymously and reminder location data is not stored on its servers.
