- Tight if you're staying free and quitting more than two things, and free Android shows ads
- Not for you if you switch phones often, as there's no account and no sync
- Watch out: the weekly plan is $5.99, the same as a month, and Lifetime is $89.99
- Skip it if you're on an iPad or an iPhone that can't run iOS 26, as neither is supported
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAQuitNowFair | 2.2GPAQuitzillaFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPRO is $5.49, but the App Store listing doesn't say if that's monthly or once. That's near the $4.99 middle for the category. | CThe year is $29.99, about $2.50 a month, in the middle band for this category. Lifetime is $89.99, more than two years of the category's middle subscription, and the App Store lists a weekly plan at $5.99, the same as a whole month. |

PRO adds ads removal and the fuller health screen. | CTwo habits free, with the timer, savings and rewards, your reasons to quit, the diary, statistics and the daily quote. Two is a wall if you're quitting more than one thing, widgets and charts are Premium, and the free Android version shows ads. |
| Features | CQuit timer, savings, a step-by-step course, milestones and an AI helper. It covers smoking only, and that's a smaller job than a general tracker. | CIt does the quitting job: a timer to the second with a ring to the next milestone, money and time saved from what you say the habit cost, savings turned into rewards you name, your reasons on hand for a craving, and a relapse diary that keeps your records. That's a smaller job than this category's. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating figure on record. You install it, enter your quit date and it starts counting. | BNo store rating on record, but there's barely anything to set up: no sign-up, and a habit needs a quit date and what it used to cost you. The ring and the running count tell you where you are without reading anything. |
| Platforms and integrations | CiPhone and Android with an Apple Watch link. No web or desktop version. | CPhones only, and the App Store listing is marked for iPhone alone and needs iOS 26 or later. No iPad, web or desktop version, and no account or sync: a new phone means the phone's own backup, a Premium CSV export or, on Android, a Premium Google Drive backup. |

Worth knowing
QuitNow
- Only smoking is covered; it is not a general habit tracker.
- The full health screen, every achievement and unlimited chat history need PRO, which also removes ads.
- The App Store listing shows $5.49 for PRO but not whether it renews or is paid once.
Quitzilla
- The free version tracks up to two habits; unlimited habits, widgets, charts, custom colors, CSV export and app lock need Premium.
- The free Android version shows ads, and Google Play lists in-app purchases at $4.99 to $29.99 per item, so Android prices differ from the App Store amounts shown here.
- No account or sync: data moves to a new phone through the phone's own backup, a Premium CSV export or, on Android, a Premium Google Drive backup.
- The App Store listing is marked only for iPhone and requires iOS 26.0 or later. There is no iPad, web or desktop version.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
