HabitBull vs Habits

HabitBull is a mobile app for building positive habits or breaking negative ones, available on Android and iOS. It supports yes-or-no habits and numeric targets, including schedules for repeating an activity several times a week. Streak tracking helps users keep a chain going, while reminders can be set for particular times; general reminders can also be disabled in settings. The maker advertises graphs and analytics for exploring habit data, and Android users can enter data from home-screen widgets. The free plan allows up to five habits. A yearly subscription costs $19.99 a year, with the first week free and one year of Premium access. Premium users can sync data between Android and iOS through automatic background syncing, though it is not real-time, and export data as a CSV file. Users can use the app without registering, but progress may be at risk after losing a phone or reinstalling. The privacy policy lists usage data, advertising identifiers, geographic position, and email address among data the app may collect.

Habits is a daily tracker for building routines, maintaining consistency and viewing progress on iOS and macOS. It supports daily, weekly, counter, timer and flexible habits, with reminders, streaks, trends, milestones, analytics and weekly insights. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus Control Center support, provide access across Apple devices. AI Suggestions use Apple Intelligence when available and on-device Smart Tips otherwise. Selected Apple Health metrics—steps, calories, distance, exercise minutes, sleep and workouts—can complete habits automatically. Habits requires no account and stores data locally; optional iCloud Sync uses the private iCloud database linked to the user's Apple ID. The privacy policy says it collects, transmits and sells no personal information, operates no servers, and uses no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. Health metrics are read on-device, not written to Apple Health, and raw samples are not sent to servers. Data can be exported as CSV or JSON. The free plan costs nothing and allows two active habits. Premium costs $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year or 59.99 USD once.
