# Cutline vs Habitica

URL: https://gocutline.com/compare/habitica-alternative/

Habitica is known for turning habits and to-dos into a role-playing game with an avatar, gold and quests. Cutline gamifies the calendar itself: every finished time block earns XP, days are cleared, and a weekly board ranks finished hours.

## The short version
| | Habitica | Cutline |
|---|---|---|
| What is gamified | Habits and to-dos | Your time-blocked week |
| Style | Pixel-art fantasy RPG | A calendar with XP, levels and ranks |
| Time blocking | No | Yes |
| Weekly leaderboard of real hours | No | The Arena |
| Verified CV | No | Yes |

## What Habitica does well
Habitica's strength is its game world and community: parties, quests and an avatar that suffers when you skip habits. It suits people motivated by fantasy-style game mechanics.

## What Cutline does differently
- **Real time, not checkboxes.** XP comes from hours you finished (10 XP per 15 minutes).
- **A week you can show.** The record becomes a [verified CV](https://gocutline.com/verified-cv/).

## Using both
If the RPG keeps your habits going, keep it, and use Cutline to plan when they happen.

## Questions

**Is Cutline a game?**
It is a calendar with game mechanics: XP, levels, streaks and a weekly board. The work is real; the score just makes it visible.
