1. Daily Pact
Our pick14-day free trial, then $0.99/mo
Every new user gets a full-featured 14-day trial — unlimited groups, up to 50 members, leaderboards, PactPause, and push notifications. After that, plans start at $0.99/mo. Built specifically for friend groups who want to challenge each other.
Best for: Group accountability for any habit
2. HabitShare
Free (with optional IAP)
HabitShare is genuinely free and lets you share your habit streaks with friends. But it's individual habits only — no group challenges, no leaderboards, and no competitive element. Good for casual sharing, not structured accountability.
Best for: Sharing individual habits casually
3. Habitica
Free core + $9/mo premium
Habitica's free tier includes the full RPG system — habits, dailies, to-dos, parties, and guild challenges. Premium ($9/mo) adds custom backgrounds and extra features. Social features exist but are secondary to the solo gamification.
Best for: RPG fans who gamify everything
4. Streaks
$4.99 one-time (no free version)
Streaks is a beautifully designed Apple-only app with a one-time $4.99 price. It's purely solo — no social features whatsoever. Limited to 12 habits. Great for minimalists on iOS, but won't help with group accountability.
Best for: Apple Watch users who want minimal solo tracking
Why Track Habits With Friends?
Solo habit trackers have a dropout problem. A study from the American Society of Training and Development found people are 95% more likely to achieve a goal when they have regular accountability check-ins with someone. A social habit tracker adds that accountability layer automatically — friendly competition and peer pressure built right in.
