Streakly and Habitify solve the same problem from opposite directions: one is source-available software you can own outright for $15, the other is a subscription at $5/mo run entirely on someone else's servers.

What Streakly does well
- Schedules that match real life — Every day, specific weekdays, or N times per week — with an icon and color per habit.
- Numeric goals — "8 glasses of water", "50 pushups" — increment through the day; only hitting the goal completes it, partial counts still tracked.
- A streak engine that's fair — Weekday-only habits survive the weekend, N-per-week habits count weekly quotas, and today doesn't break your streak just because it isn't done yet.
- Vacation mode — Skip days freeze your streaks instead of killing them.
What Habitify still does better
There's a real reason Habitify costs what it does: a bigger team, broader integrations and dedicated support behind it. If that ecosystem is genuinely what you need, it's worth paying for.
Which one should you pick
If your workflow depends on Habitify's specific integrations or you'd rather not run anything yourself, stay put — that's a legitimate call. If you're comfortable owning the tool and want to stop paying $5/mo for a job your own hardware can do, Streakly pays for itself and then some: three months of Habitify costs the same as Streakly does once — your streaks shouldn't have a renewal date.
