Which one is for you
Pick QuitNow if
- Fits if you're quitting cigarettes and want a running counter
- Works for people who want a chat with others doing the same
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to track any habit but smoking
- Tight if you want every achievement or full chat history, as both need PRO
- Watch out: PRO is $5.49 but the listing doesn't say how often it renews
- Too light for a quit plan with coaching or medical support
Pick Reframe if
- Fits if you want a structured day-by-day program for drinking less
- Works for people who want a community alongside the tracking
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because there is only a 7-day trial
- Pricey if you pay the annual fee, about $100 a year, and coaching is extra
- Not for you if you need treatment for alcohol use disorder, as the vendor says it is not designed for that
- Watch out: no web version yet, and Thrive Coaching's price is not stated

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.
