Best for a 160-day program for drinking less
Reframe is a phone app built around a 160-day program for cutting down on alcohol, with tracking, a community and a craving toolkit. It has no free plan, only a 7-day trial, and at about $100 a year it costs well over the category middle. The vendor says it is not made to treat alcohol use disorder.
Who Reframe is for
- Fits if you want a structured day-by-day program for drinking less
- Works for people who want a community alongside the tracking
Who Reframe is not for
- 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
Why Reframe gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money$100 a year, about $8.33 a month, against a category middle of $4.16 and a dearest tenth that starts at $9.99. The App Store shows annual prices up to $119.99 and Thrive Coaching costs extra.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan. A 7-day trial for new users, and the pages read do not say whether a card is needed.
- CFeaturesA 160-day program, progress tracking, community, craving tools and courses. It does that job in full, but it is one narrow job, drinking less.
- BEase of useNo rating on record, but you install an app and follow the program with nothing to set up.
- CPlatforms and integrationsiOS and Android only. The FAQ says a web version is in the works, and no integrations are listed.

Keep Reframe, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Reframe you could make: habit tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 44 of the 48 other habit trackers grade higher. It costs $100 a year.
What you could make
- Habit tracking: an app builder makes this 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.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
What this rests on. Reframe’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.
