|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe year is $29.99, about $2.50 a month, in the middle band for this category.

| Features | 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. | CA live counter, milestones, journaling, money saved, a health timeline and a forum. It tracks and supports but it isn't a treatment service. |
| Ease of use | 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. | BNo verified store rating on record, the site's 4.8 is the maker's claim. Enter a quit date and it counts. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | CiPhone and Android with widgets and Apple Watch.

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.
