Features Prod Apps's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each app. | 8.5 Me+ goes beyond basic habit tracking with a full routine planner, mood logging, and optional personality-based guidance. During our testing, we found it especially good at turning plans into action through clear steps and timely reminders. Here's what we liked most:
Areas for improvement: some advanced content sits behind a paywall, and reordering items via drag-and-drop could be smoother. While HabitNow offers more comprehensive scheduling and timer features, Me+ focuses on routine structure and personalization. Overall, it's a thoughtful feature set that earns an 8.5. Winner in this category | 8.5 HabitKit delivers a solid set of core habit tracking features, focusing on simplicity and effectiveness. The standout is the GitHub-style heatmap, which makes tracking your progress both motivating and visually satisfying. Key features we found especially useful include:
There are some limitations: the free version restricts you to 4 habits, which may not be enough for everyone, and there's no way to organize habits into categories or folders. Widgets are visually appealing but don't allow direct interaction. Still, the features that are present are thoughtfully implemented and work reliably. We rate features at 8.5—excellent for core functionality, but with room for more organizational tools. For users who need unlimited habits without restrictions, Habitive offers a completely free alternative, while Loop Habit Tracker provides more comprehensive organizational features at no cost.

Performance Prod Apps's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each app. | 8.3 Me+ felt stable and responsive throughout our tests. Navigation is smooth, widgets update reliably, and notifications fire on time. We noticed occasional sluggishness when reordering many items in long routines, especially on older devices, but it didn't affect daily use. While Loop Habit Tracker offers superior performance with its lightweight design and 9.8 performance rating, Me+ provides solid performance that earns an 8.3. | 9.2 HabitKit performs exceptionally well in day-to-day use. The app is lightweight, launches quickly, and all interactions—such as marking completions, navigating between views, and customizing habits—are smooth and responsive. Animations are fluid and add to the overall polished feel of the app without causing any lag. We encountered very few bugs or crashes, and the app remained stable even when tracking a large number of habits (in the premium version). User reviews echo this experience, with most people praising the app's reliability and speed. A handful of users mentioned minor issues with widgets, such as sizing or display quirks on certain devices, but these did not affect the core functionality and were often addressed in updates. Overall, HabitKit delivers a consistently fast and stable experience, both in our hands-on testing and according to the majority of user feedback. We rate its performance at 9.2 out of 10. This performance rating places HabitKit among the top performers in the category, alongside HabitNow which also achieves a 9.0 rating, and Habitive which maintains an 8.8 rating despite being completely free.

Design Prod Apps's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each app. | 8.8 The interface is clean and purposeful, with typography and color used to guide your attention without getting in the way. We always knew what was next, and progress felt tangible. What stood out to us:
A dark mode would be nice for early mornings, and the drag-and-drop could be more obvious visually. Still, the design supports the main goal: helping you do the next right thing. While HabitKit offers more elegant GitHub-style visualization, Me+ provides a practical, motivating interface. We rate design at 8.8. | 9.5 HabitKit's design is one of its greatest strengths. The minimalist aesthetic strikes a perfect balance between beauty and usability. The GitHub-inspired tile grid is not only visually appealing but also serves as a powerful motivational tool—watching your chosen colors fill the grid is genuinely satisfying. We especially liked:
Animations are smooth and purposeful, and the typography is clear and readable. While the minimalist approach may feel sparse to some, especially when managing many habits, we found it refreshing and effective. We rate design at 9.5. This design excellence sets HabitKit apart from competitors like Habitica, which focuses on gamification, and HabitNow, which prioritizes comprehensive scheduling features over visual polish.

Value for Money Prod Apps's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each app. | 7.2 The free tier covers the essentials and is enough for many users. If you want advanced content and more customization options, upgrades are available through in-app purchases (€8.99–€74.99 on Google Play). It's good value if you'll use the extra guidance and content regularly; otherwise, the free experience is already quite strong. For users who want completely free unlimited habits, Habitive offers better value. However, Me+'s MBTI guidance and structured approach may justify the cost for users who need more than basic tracking. We rate value for money at 7.2. | 9.5 HabitKit offers a strong value proposition, especially when compared to other habit trackers. The free version is genuinely useful for those with minimal needs, providing all core tracking features and a beautiful, ad-free experience. However, it does limit you to tracking just 4 habits, which several users found restrictive if you want to monitor more aspects of your life. Upgrading to premium unlocks unlimited habits, widgets, advanced analytics, and data backup/export. Pricing is fair and transparent, with options for a monthly, yearly, or one-time lifetime purchase. Many users appreciate the availability of a lifetime license, which is rare among productivity apps and offers excellent long-term value. The premium features are genuinely useful and not just cosmetic add-ons. We also liked that there are no hidden costs, no ads, and no data collection, which adds to the sense of getting good value for your money. While some users wished the free version allowed tracking a few more habits, most agreed that the premium upgrade is worth it if the app fits your workflow. Overall, HabitKit delivers a high-quality experience at a reasonable price, and we rate its value for money at 9.5 out of 10. However, for users seeking maximum value without any cost, Habitive offers a perfect 10.0 rating by providing unlimited habits completely free, while Loop Habit Tracker achieves the same perfect score by offering premium-quality features at no cost.

Ease of Use Prod Apps's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each app. | 7.8 Getting started is straightforward and guided. The basics are easy: add a routine, set reminders, start checking things off. As routines get more complex, arranging steps takes more effort, and the drag-and-drop interaction can feel a bit fiddly. Here's what we liked:
There's a reasonable learning curve and strong guidance makes it approachable. While Habitive offers the simplest 3-click setup, Me+ provides more structure for complex routine building. We rate ease of use at 7.8. | 9.5 HabitKit is remarkably intuitive and user-friendly. The "less is more" philosophy makes it easy to get started and maintain your habits without confusion or clutter. Highlights include:
The only minor quirk is that reordering habits requires a long-press, which isn't immediately obvious to new users. Once learned, it's easy to use. We rate ease of use an 9.5. While HabitKit excels in simplicity, Habitive offers an even more streamlined experience with its 3-click setup, and Loop Habit Tracker provides more advanced features while maintaining excellent usability. Winner in this category |
Security & Privacy Prod Apps's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each app. | 7.5 The app requests sensible permissions and we didn't see any obvious overreach. Your routine data appears to be stored locally with account-based sync features available if you want them. We'd like to see clearer, more prominent documentation on how your data is handled. Bottom line: nothing concerning in our testing, but more transparency would help users feel confident. While HabitKit offers superior privacy with fully local storage and no accounts required, Me+ provides a reasonable balance of convenience and security. We rate security & privacy at 7.5. | 9.8 HabitKit stands out for its privacy-first approach. All data is stored locally on your device, with no account required and no remote servers involved. The app works fully offline, so there's no risk of data interception, and you can export your data manually whenever you wish. We found no evidence of third-party analytics or tracking tools. The app only requests essential permissions, such as notifications for reminders. This commitment to privacy is rare and highly appreciated. The only small drawback is that backups are manual, so you'll need to remember to export your data regularly. We rate security and privacy at 9.8. This privacy focus puts HabitKit in excellent company with Loop Habit Tracker, which also achieves a 9.8 rating for its open-source, offline-first approach, and Habitive, which maintains a 9.0 rating by keeping all data local without requiring accounts.

Regular updates and responsive support suggest this is an app that will continue to improve over time. If you're looking for a clean, efficient, and privacy-focused way to track your habits, HabitKit is an excellent choice that we can confidently recommend. However, if you need unlimited free habits, Habitive offers the best free experience, while Loop Habit Tracker provides exceptional privacy features at no cost.
