Both apps respect you: one fair price, no subscription, no ads. The real question is platform and gamification — Streaks is iOS-only and deliberately minimal, Habiro runs everywhere and leans into XP and badges.

Streaks is one of the most polished habit apps ever made, and it earned its Apple Design Award. It has outstanding Apple Watch integration, iCloud sync, Health app connectivity that can complete habits automatically, and a focused design with zero bloat. At 4.8 stars across 27,000 ratings, its quality is not in question.
But Streaks has a deliberately narrow audience: Apple ecosystem users who want a minimalist tool. There is no Android app and no web app, no XP or levels, no badges, and no personal challenges. It caps you at 24 tasks and has no free tier. Like Habiro it is a one-time purchase and privacy-respecting, so the honest choice comes down to which platforms you use and whether gamification motivates you.
Bottom line: Streaks is the best solo habit tracker for people fully inside the Apple ecosystem, and if you own an Apple Watch it is hard to beat. Habiro is the better choice if you need Android or web access, want gamification and personal challenges, or want to try the app free before paying.
No. Streaks is iOS-only and also runs on iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS, but there is no Android version and no web app. If you are on Android, see our guide to Streaks alternatives for Android.
Habiro. It is free for up to 3 habits, and the Lifetime Unlock is $4.99 once. Streaks is $5.99 up front with no free tier. Both are one-time purchases with no subscription, so neither will bill you again.
No, and that is intentional. Streaks is built around a clean streak count and nothing more. If gamification is what keeps you consistent, Habiro adds XP, levels, badges, and 26 personal challenges on top of streak tracking.
Neither does. Streaks uses your iCloud account for sync but needs no separate sign-up. Habiro requires no account at all and never sends habit data to our servers.
Plenty of people do, but it is rarely worth it. Tracking the same habit in two apps splits your streak and doubles the daily friction. Pick the one that matches your platform and your motivation style.
Habiro brings one-time pricing and privacy to every platform — plus XP, badges, and challenges.
