Routinery Free vs Premium, What It Costs, and 4 Alternatives (Android Too)

Routinery is a routine app for the parts of the day that happen in the same order every time. You stack small habits into a routine (a morning, a wind-down, a study block), split it into steps of one to five minutes, and each step runs on its own timer while a voice tells you what’s next. Apple made it an App of the Day, it’s rated 4.7 from about 18,000 US App Store ratings, and it’s especially popular with adults with ADHD who know what to do but struggle to start.

Here’s what you get for free, what Premium adds and costs, and four alternatives for when it isn’t the right fit. One of them is ours, Habit Rewards; we’ve tried to describe the others fairly.

Routinery free vs Premium

	Free	Premium
Routines	2	no cap
Step timers, voice, reminders	yes	yes
Ads	yes	no
Account needed	no	no

Routinery says so in its own listing: two routines free, no account, and Premium “lifts the routine cap” and removes the ads. Two routines (say, a morning and an evening one) is enough to find out whether the timer-and-voice approach works for you before you pay.

How much does Routinery cost?

On the US App Store, Premium is listed at $36.00 a year (also $39.49), $5.00 or $5.49 a month, $24.00 for six months and $12.49 for three, plus a $0.99 weekly plan and a $24.00 “Plus” yearly plan (we read the list on October 24, 2026). The paywall in the app shows which one applies to you. That puts the yearly plan a little above the typical habit app, which is about $30 a year (prices compared).

Is Routinery on Android?

No. Routinery runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, and there’s no web version. If you’re on Android, or share routines with someone who is, all four apps below run on Android.

If you want…	Try
The whole day on one visual timeline, mostly free	Structured
A calm visual planner made for ADHD brains	Tiimo
A guided program that builds a routine for you	Fabulous
A reward for getting through the routine	Habit Rewards

1. Structured: the day as a timeline

Structured lays tasks, events and routines out on one visual timeline, so you can see how the day fits together. The free version is generous: the drag-and-drop timeline, an inbox for quick ideas, subtasks, a focus timer and widgets. Pro adds calendar sync, recurring tasks and routines, and moving the tasks you missed. It’s rated 4.8 from about 168,000 US ratings and runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Android.

Good for: people who want to plan the whole day, not just its routines.

Less good if: what you need is something to walk you through each step. Structured shows the plan; it doesn’t run it with you.

2. Tiimo: a calm visual planner

Tiimo, Apple’s iPhone App of the Year for 2025, is a visual planner built with neurodivergent people in mind: a colour-coded schedule you rearrange by dragging, a to-do list to brain-dump into, a countdown timer and widgets that keep the next thing in view. It’s rated 4.6 from more than 21,000 US ratings and runs on iPhone, Android and the web. Pro is a subscription; the App Store lists prices from $7.00 to $54.00 (Tiimo alternatives).

Good for: people who want Routinery’s ADHD-friendly calm across their whole day, on any device.

Less good if: you only want routines; it’s a full planner.

3. Fabulous: a coach that builds the routine for you

Fabulous starts you on a guided journey: one small habit (drink a glass of water when you wake up), then another, until you have a morning routine. Around that it adds daily coaching, journaling, short workouts and meditation. It’s rated 4.4 from about 89,000 US ratings, on iPhone and Android, and Premium is a subscription ($49.99 a year among the listed prices; Fabulous alternatives).

Good for: people who don’t know where to start and want a program to follow.

Less good if: you already know your routine and just need to get through it.

4. Habit Rewards: a reward for getting through it

This one’s ours, and it doesn’t run timers. It’s for the other half of the problem: wanting to do the routine at all. Every habit pays coins by how hard it is (1, 4, 8 or 16), so a whole morning routine can add up, and one-off to-dos go in as tasks that pay coins too. You write your own rewards, like a coffee out, an episode of your show or an afternoon off, each with a coin price, and claim one when your balance covers it. Reminders, a streak and a done/skipped/failed calendar come with every habit, and on a day you can’t manage, a Skip costs 10 coins and keeps the streak alive.

It’s on iPhone and Android, free for three habits and three rewards (tasks don’t count toward the three), with free home-screen widgets. Pro removes the limits.

Good for: people who can plan a routine but lose the will to keep it, and anyone who already bribes themselves with treats.

Less good if: you want step timers and a voice guiding you. Routinery does that better; the two work well together.

Creating a habit in Habit Rewards: name, schedule, reminders and the coins it pays

Which one?

If Routinery works for you and two routines are enough, the free plan is fine as it is. If you need more, $36 a year is fair for what it does. If you’re on Android, or Routinery isn’t quite it, ask where the day falls apart. Not knowing what’s next: Structured or Tiimo. Not knowing where to start: Fabulous. Knowing exactly what to do and not wanting to: put a reward at the end of it with Habit Rewards.
