GoalGo vs Strides: which goal tracker fits you?
Strides, by Goals LLC: Habit tracker + goals with four tracker types and SMART-goal templates. Below, the two apps feature by feature, where each one wins, and who should pick which. We make GoalGo; the table is built so you could reasonably choose Strides from it.
The short version
- Strides is the closest thing to GoalGo in the category: it tracks goals and habits, not just habits, and it has been doing so for a decade.
- Pick Strides if you live across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, want Apple Health to fill in your numbers, or need an 'average' tracker.
- Pick GoalGo if you want habits that visibly feed goals, a score that survives a missed day, and a free plan that includes every widget.

Where Strides wins
- Every Apple platform, including Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision.
- Apple Health integration: steps, workouts and weight log themselves.
- Four tracker types, including 'Average', and 150+ templates with an accountability-partner feature.
Where GoalGo wins
- Habits link to the goals they serve; in Strides they are parallel trackers.
- Momentum instead of a success rate: a missed day dips the score, it never resets it.
- A more generous free plan for a goal tracker: 2 goals + 4 habits with all four widgets and backups, versus 3 trackers.
Who should pick which
Two honest answers.
Pick Strides if…
You want one app on every Apple screen you own, you already log runs and weight through Apple Health, or you track things that are best expressed as an average over time. Strides has more tracker mechanics than any app in this list.
Pick GoalGo if…
Your goals have habits behind them and you want the two connected on one screen. You want a score that keeps growing instead of a chain that restarts. You would rather have a quit counter with a one-tap restart and a full backup file than a Watch app.
GoalGo's gaps, stated plainly: iPhone only today (Android coming soon, waitlist open), no Apple Watch app, no Mac or web version, no Apple Health integration, English only, and a free plan capped at 2 goals and 4 habits.
