Free vs ProtoHabit+: What You Get on Each Plan
What the free plan includes, what ProtoHabit+ unlocks — unlimited habits, AI plans, deep insights, smart reminders — and how to tell when to upgrade.
Start free, and actually use it
The free plan is a real habit tracker, not a demo: three habits, the full daily grid and progress strip, gold zap and fire streaks, template browsing, and basic insights. Two weeks of honest use tells you everything.

The clearest upgrade signal is wanting a fourth habit that genuinely serves a goal. If your first three are alive and well, the limit — not your motivation — has become the bottleneck.

Open Settings → ProtoHabit+ to see current pricing and start a plan. Your existing habits, streaks and history carry over untouched — upgrading only removes walls.

After upgrading, do three things in your first week: let Mojo build an AI plan for your main goal, open the deep insights tab, and accept Mojo's smart reminder suggestions. These three compound; the rest is bonus.

ProtoHabit’s free plan is deliberately generous, because a habit app you abandon in week one is worthless at any price. Here is exactly where the line sits, and how to know which side of it you belong on.
What free includes
- Three habits, with the full logging experience — the daily grid, the progress strip, gold zap and per-habit fire streaks
- The complete template library to browse — all 160+ habits, with frequencies and evidence notes
- Basic insights — enough to see your week and your streaks at a glance
Three habits is not a crippled tier; it is the correct starting dose for almost everyone. Some of the most successful ProtoHabit users spend months free, master three habits, and only then upgrade.
What ProtoHabit+ unlocks
- Unlimited habits and Goals — build the full system across health, money, growth, and career
- Mojo AI plans — personalized plans with per-habit reasoning and progressive unlocks
- Deep insights — adherence breakdowns, best/worst analysis, and projection graphs
- Smart reminders — behavior-aware timing suggestions from Mojo
- Full Mojo — the complete coaching feed, media library, and celebrations
The honest upgrade test
Upgrade when you can answer yes to both: Have I logged habits on most days for the last two weeks? and Is something I want blocked by a limit rather than by my own follow-through? If either answer is no, stay free and keep building — the app will still be here, and so will Mojo, when the yes arrives.
Put it into practice
Open ProtoHabit and try it — this guide will still be here.
