Best for counting days since your last cigarette
QuitNow counts the time since you last smoked, the cigarettes skipped and the money saved, and adds a chat with other ex-smokers. It does that one job and nothing else, and the full health screen, every achievement and unlimited chat history need PRO.
Who QuitNow is for
- Fits if you're quitting cigarettes and want a running counter
- Works for people who want a chat with others doing the same
Who QuitNow is not for
- 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
Why QuitNow gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPRO 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.
- BFree plan and trialFree to download with the quit counter and community chat, which one person can live on. PRO adds ads removal and the fuller health screen.
- CFeaturesQuit 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.
- BEase of useNo store rating figure on record. You install it, enter your quit date and it starts counting.
- CPlatforms and integrationsiPhone and Android with an Apple Watch link. No web or desktop version.

Keep QuitNow, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of QuitNow you could make: habit tracking and goals. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 31 of the 64 other habit trackers grade higher.
What you could make
- Habit tracking and goals: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- People on the other end: live sessions. No app builder makes those.
What this rests on. QuitNow’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is QuitNow?
QuitNow tracks how long it has been since you last smoked, the cigarettes you avoided and the money you saved. It adds a chat with other ex-smokers, a step-by-step course, milestones and health indicators based on World Health Organization figures. The app is free, with an optional PRO upgrade.
Worth knowing
