Bloom vs Habitify: a free alternative without the habit cap

Habitify is a polished cross-platform tracker with a free tier that caps how many habits you can keep, and a subscription to lift the cap. Bloom used to work the same way. It no longer does.

Where Habitify is the better choice

Habitify syncs across iOS, Android, Mac and web, and that sync is the product. If you check things off on a laptop during the day and a phone at night, Bloom cannot do that at all — it has no server and no account, so there is nothing to sync. Habitify’s reporting is also deeper, with per-habit breakdowns and exportable analytics that Bloom does not match.

Where Bloom differs

Bloom has no habit cap. This is worth stating plainly because Bloom shipped one until recently and removed it; every feature is now free to everyone.
Bloom has no subscription, no in-app purchases and no paid tier to upgrade to.
Bloom has no account, so there is no sync — that is a real limitation, not a privacy feature dressed up as one.
Bloom never reminds you about a habit you have already completed, and sends at most one scheduled notification a day.

Which should you pick?

Choose Habitify if you need the same habits on a laptop and a phone, and the subscription is worth that to you. Choose Bloom if you track on one device and would rather not hit a paywall at your fourth habit.

Other comparisons

Bloom vs HabiticaHabitica turns your habits into a role-playing game with parties, quests and gear. Bloom turns them into a garden that grows quietly. Both work; they suit very different people.Bloom vs StreaksStreaks is a long-established, well-built iOS habit tracker with deep Apple ecosystem integration. Bloom is free, cross-platform, and built around visible growth rather than an unbroken chain.Bloom vs paid habit trackers"Free" in the habit-tracker category usually means a three-habit limit, an ad banner, or a seven-day trial that becomes a subscription. It is reasonable to be suspicious.Bloom vs a Notion habit trackerA Notion habit tracker is free, endlessly customisable and already where your other notes live. It also asks you to open a database and fill in a row.Bloom vs Loop Habit TrackerLoop is open-source, free, and has no paid tier of any kind. It is the honest answer to “what should I use if I refuse to pay” on Android. Bloom makes the same promise on both platforms, and makes a very different design choice about what a tracker should show you.Bloom vs HabitNowHabitNow is a capable Android tracker with a free tier limited to a handful of habits and a one-time purchase to remove the limit. Bloom removed exactly that kind of limit rather than charging to lift it.Bloom vs TickTickTickTick is a task manager with habit tracking built in. Bloom only tracks habits. Which is right depends entirely on whether you want one app for everything or one app that does a single thing.
