Beeminder vs Lifetick

Beeminder tracks graphable goals and can charge you if your progress crosses the Bright Red Line. You can report data when prompted or connect a device or service to send it automatically; the line marks your path toward a goal, with data smoothing described for goals such as weight loss. Examples include fitness, health, productivity, finance and learning. Core includes dozens of automatic-data integrations, along with IFTTT, Zapier and custom API integration; Fitbit and RescueTime are examples. API endpoints require authentication, and client OAuth supports applications accessing an account on the user’s behalf. Core costs nothing and limits the number of goals, while Infinibee costs $8 a month and includes unlimited goals, exotic goal types and an auto-canceling subscription. Bee Plus costs $16 a month, and Beemium costs $81 a month, each with additional plan features. A payment method is required to create goals, but staying on track can avoid charges. Yearly payment gives 14% off. Beeminder is available on Android, iOS and the web, with API access.

Lifetick helps people set and track goals using the S.M.A.R.T. methodology, with options to connect goals to personal core values. Users can organize work with due dates, reminders, repeating tasks, subtasks, notes, and flexible scheduling. Goals can be shared, tasks assigned, and supporters invited to view goals and encourage progress. A journal records thoughts and goal or task activity. Tracking supports descriptive, financial, numerical, binary, and count metrics, with charts and CSV export. Users can subscribe to a Lifetick calendar in apps such as iCal or Google Calendar, but those entries are view-only. Lifetick is available on the web and iOS. The Free Plan costs nothing and allows two S.M.A.R.T. goals, without subtasks, financial goals, or personalized trackers. Premium Plan is $29 a year and includes unlimited S.M.A.R.T. goals, subtasks, financial goals, and personalized trackers. Essentials is $4 a month with a five-user minimum; Professional is $9 a month with a 100-user minimum. Professional and Enterprise support SSO through 20+ identity providers. A free 14-day trial is offered through organization signup without a credit card upfront.
