Both apps can be used without a subscription. Structured’s price for Pro depends on the store and the country, so this page does not invent a single figure.

Topic HWH Structured
PriceFree on the Mac App Store. Every feature can be earned through normal use. You start with 3 silver coins, about 10 days’ head start. An optional Founder Pack ($29.99, one-time) unlocks everything immediately. It is never required, and it is not a subscription.Structured is free to download. Its help centre says you can use almost every feature without paying, and that the app does not include ads or sell your data. Structured Pro is optional: monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase, plus a weekly option in some Android countries. A three-day Pro trial becomes a paid subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Structured says the price depends on your region and store, and the help article does not publish one worldwide figure. The US App Store listing checked on this date shows several Structured Pro prices together, so this page does not pick one of them as the price.
PlatformsA native Mac app for macOS 14 or later. HWH does not publish an iPhone, iPad, Windows, Android, or Apple Watch app.iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision, plus Android phones and tablets and a web app. Structured’s help centre says there is no downloadable Windows app. Windows and Linux use the browser.

Habits, metrics, and life-area balance across Health, Wealth, Happiness, and Work.Structured’s App Store description presents a visual timeline of tasks, events, and routines, with an inbox, sub-tasks, and a Pomodoro timer in the free app. Structured Pro adds calendar import, Reminders import on Apple, recurring tasks, AI day planning, and replanning of missed tasks. The Pro feature table lists Replan and Reminders import for Apple, and not for Android or the web.
