Goal4 vs Me+ Lifestyle Routine

Quick answer

Me+ Lifestyle Routine by ENERJOY PTE. LTD. (Me Plus in some of its purchase names) is a daily routine planner and habit tracker with self-care reading, a mood tracker and a personality test built in. It has been on the App Store since 2022 and runs on iPhone and Android, with no iPad app. Two things to know before you download: the listing doesn’t say what is free, and its App Store listing says it contains advertising.

Goal4 (listed as Habit Tracker & Streaks: Goal4 by EHM TECH LLC) is a habit tracker built on numeric goals, streaks and contribution grids. It’s free to download and needs no account. Pro is an optional weekly or yearly subscription that starts after a 7-day free trial.

If you want one app for your day, your to-do list and your self-care, go with Me+ Lifestyle Routine. If you’d rather count habits toward a goal and watch streaks and grids fill in, with your habits kept on your device, Goal4 is the better fit.

Side-by-side

Where Me+ Lifestyle Routine wins

A planner for the whole day, not only habits. Me+ Lifestyle Routine’s listing calls it a “Daily Routine Planner and Habit Tracker.” You build your own daily and morning routines with the icons and colors you choose, and set “friendly reminders” for your to-do list. Reviewers say it helps them get through chores, tidying and hygiene. Goal4 is a habit tracker, not a day planner.

Reading, templates and a test. The listing offers what it calls “comprehensive evidence-based self-care information on establishing habits and healthy routines,” a planning template, and what it calls an MBTI test to help pick routines that suit you. It also tracks your mood. Some reviewers say the routine templates need a paid plan. Goal4’s listing names no guided content and no mood tracking.

More tools, by reviewers’ account. Reviewers describe a water tracker, alarms, workout content and an AI feature. Some mention a sleep tracker, water goals, sleep music, and an AI that turns a photo of a task list into tasks, with a token limit. The listing describes none of these, so check the app before you count on one.

A long record and a large following. Me+ has been on the App Store since 2022 and has 4.8 stars from 248,500 US ratings. On Google Play it shows 4.7 stars from 864K reviews and over 10 million installs.

Where Goal4 wins

Goals and streaks Me+ doesn’t describe. Me+ Lifestyle Routine’s listing talks about daily routines but names no streak counter, numeric goal, or weekly or monthly schedule. In Goal4, every habit is a daily, weekly or monthly numeric goal, and you log it with plus and minus buttons. It counts your streak and warns you before the streak breaks, not after. It has no streak freezes or skip days, though.

A history you can read at a glance. The Me+ listing mentions a “Mood and Progress Tracker” but names no calendar, grid or chart. Goal4 shows each habit as a contribution grid in five layouts, plus a monthly calendar with a bar chart of daily progress. Each habit gets its own stats: total count, completion rate, current streak and best day. To backdate or edit any past entry, tap that day.

iPad and 39 languages. Me+ is iPhone-only on iOS and comes in 5 languages: English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. Goal4 runs on iPhone, iPad and Android in 39 languages. Neither has an Apple Watch app.

No account, and no tracking on the label. Me+‘s privacy label declares Identifiers (Device ID) used to track you, and its App Store listing says it contains advertising. Reviewers report in-app ads. The listing also doesn’t say whether you need an account. Goal4 needs no account and keeps your habits on the device. Its label declares no data used to track you and lists Identifiers, Usage Data and Diagnostics under “Data Not Linked to You” for analytics. It shows no third-party ads, though the free edition shows a card for our other apps, which Pro hides.

Pricing

• Goal4 is free to download. Pro comes as a weekly or yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, and it hides the card for our other apps that the free edition shows.
• Me+ Lifestyle Routine by ENERJOY PTE. LTD. is free to download, but the listing doesn’t say which features are free. It says the subscription gives “unlimited access to the VIP features” and names $39.99 a year and $9.99 a month. The US App Store lists ten entries: monthly at $7.99, $9.99 and $12.99; 3 months at $19.99 and $29.99; yearly at $39.99, $59.99 and $69.99; plus a “Special Offer” at $19.99 and a “Limited Time Discount” at $29.99, with no term stated.

A year of Me+ costs $39.99 to $69.99 on its yearly entries, or $95.88 at its cheapest monthly price. Reviewers say the free plan limits how many tasks you can add, and returning users say it used to be unlimited. Others report trial and billing problems, and some say they were charged after cancelling.
