|---|---|---|
| Value for money | APlus is $29.99 a year, so about $2.50 a month, for unlimited habits and reminders. That's well under what habit apps usually ask. Pro is $49.99 a year, which is still fair, but $8.99 if you pay by the month. Plus is sold by the year only. | ASober Plus is $9.99 a month, or 12 months at $29.99 or $39.99. Even the dearer yearly price is under what habit trackers usually charge, and the free app keeps the essentials. The App Store lists both yearly prices without explaining why, so check in the app. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree for good, with cross-platform sync, notes with a mood log and a countdown timer. But it's 3 active habits at a time and 1 reminder per habit. A morning run, reading and water, and you're full. | AThe day counter, daily pledges and reviews, milestones, savings calculator, withdrawal timeline and the community are all free. Most people could stay here. Private groups, the app lock and cloud backups are the paid bits. |
| Features | AHabits laid out across the day, reminders by time, location or habit stack, streaks, a calendar and completion rates. Then the deep end: sync with Apple Health, Health Connect, Fitbit and Strava, challenges with friends, checklists, NFC tags and timers. A fair bit of that is Pro. | AIt only does sobriety, but it does all of it: a counter for each addiction, a morning pledge and evening review, milestones, money and time saved, and daily recaps that show what made a day harder. The withdrawal timeline is built from other members' reports. |
