Habitica

Top Pro

Gamifies the process to motivate

The app takes cues from role playing games by having a system that rewards certain behaviour with experience points, levels, gear upgrades. It also allows you to set custom rewards that you come up with yourself such as watching an episode of your favorite TV show. See More

Top Con

Can cause needless stress

As with most gamified systems it includes punishments for failures. Fear of failure can cause stress and failures can demotivate. See More

Top Pro

Can use peer pressure to motivate

The app allows creating a party with other people and go on a quest together. Here, your actions affect not just you, but everyone else in the party as well. If you fail a task, the party loses health, if you complete a task, the party gains experience, etc. See More

Top Con

Occasional bugs and laggyness

Can be buggy and sometimes crash. See More

Productive

Top Con

Expensive

It's hard to understand why the Productive team chose to go with a hefty subscription model to access "all the features" of this app [unlimited number of habits + better reminders]. It's a $14/year for this; there are competitors available without a pricing model like this one. See More

Top Pro

Great user interface

The minimal UI focuses on usability. See More

ReveredSerapis's Experience

Too expensive See More

Top Pro

Avoids artificial game world

Instead of creating an artificial world to introduce gamification, Productive implements streaks and stats as positive reinforcement. See More
