GoalsWon alternatives in 2027

Why people look for a GoalsWon alternative

• It costs $90 a month, or about $60 a month on the yearly plan.
• There is no free plan.
• The coaching is a person, which is the point for some people and a cost for others.

The alternatives side by side

1. Pledger: best for following through on a goal you keep restarting

You tell Pledger a goal and a date. It builds this week's plan with a day on each task, checks in with you, and runs a weekly review that shows what slipped and why. The coach remembers your goals, your journal and your past reviews, so it can say "this is the third week you moved this task". You can add circles (people you choose see your week), photo proof, and optional money stakes on the web.

• Price: Free; Pro $9.99/mo or $79.99/yr.
• Pick it if you've restarted the same goal more than twice and want the plan, the coach and the accountability in one place.
• Skip it if you want a human coach every day, or you only need charts for a number.
• Honest drawback: The iPhone and Android apps are coming soon; today it runs in your browser.

2. Rocky.ai: best for an AI to reflect with and practise hard conversations

Rocky.ai is a thoughtful AI coach for daily reflection, with roleplay for hard conversations (sales, feedback, leadership), voice conversations, courses and self-assessments. It runs on iPhone, Android and the web.

• Price: Free; from $9.99/mo.
• Pick it if you mainly want an AI to think out loud with, or to practise difficult conversations.
• Skip it if you need a weekly plan or people seeing your progress.
• Honest drawback: No guided weekly review is listed, and the App Store premium tiers cost more than the website.

3. Beeminder: best for numeric goals with strict money penalties

Beeminder draws a line your data has to stay above. Miss it and you pay a pledge that rises each time ($5, then $10, then $30, up to a cap you set). It connects automatically to Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Health, Strava, Duolingo, Todoist and more, and has been running since 2011.

• Price: Free; from $8/mo.
• Pick it if your goal is a number (weight, steps, words, minutes) and a strict money penalty moves you.
• Skip it if your goal isn't something a machine can measure, or you don't want a charge for a bad week.
• Honest drawback: No plan and no coach: it tracks the number and charges you if you drift.

4. stickK: best for one yes/no goal with a human referee

stickK, built on behavioural economics from Yale, lets you sign a contract with a stake (even an "anti-charity" you'd hate to fund) and name a referee whose decision is final. It is free to use and has been running since 2008.

• Price: Free; you pay only if you fail.
• Pick it if you have one clear goal with a yes or no answer and you want a person and a stake.
• Skip it if you want planning or coaching; stickK does neither.
• Honest drawback: It is a contract, not a system: no weekly plan, no coach, no review.

5. Griply: best for a goal-first planner with time blocking

Griply organises life areas, goals, subgoals, tasks and habits, with time blocking and Google and Outlook calendar sync. There is a lifetime option at $149.99.

• Price: Free; $5.99/mo or $49.99/yr.
• Pick it if you want a full task manager and you already hold yourself to a plan.
• Skip it if your problem is following through, not organising.
• Honest drawback: It organises the goal but doesn't check whether you did it, and it has no coach.
