Best Quit Drinking Apps in 2026: 12 Apps Compared

There are dozens of apps that promise to help you drink less or stop. They don't all do the same job. Some count the days since your last drink, some teach you through daily lessons, some help you moderate, and some build a plan to get you to zero. Here are 12 of the most popular, what each is best for, and how to pick the right one.

We make Pour Decision, so it's listed first, and we've tried hard to be fair to the rest: every app below has something it does better than us, and we say what.

The best quit drinking apps

1. Pour Decision: best for a plan to quit

Pour Decision is for people who still drink and want to stop. A few questions about your drinking, body and reasons turn into a plan with a quit date and weekly goals that step down to zero. You log drinks from a library of 200+, counted in your country's standard drinks or units, with calories and money. Once you stop, a sober clock counts every second, and an “I'm about to relapse” button walks you through a craving. No account, no ads, and your data stays on your phone.

Good to know: iPhone only, with no community or coaching. The plan and features are part of Pro at $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year or a one-time lifetime purchase.

2. I Am Sober: best for counting sober days

One of the most popular sobriety apps, with a huge community. You set a sober date, make a daily pledge and watch the days add up. Great if you've already stopped; less helpful if you still drink most days. Free tier, with Sober Plus up to $39.99 a year. I Am Sober vs Pour Decision

3. Reframe: best for a structured course

A 160-day program of daily lessons, journaling and activities about alcohol and your brain, with optional 1:1 coaching in higher tiers. Ideal if you love structured learning; harder if daily homework slips. $13.99 a month up to $119.99 a year after a 7-day trial. Reframe vs Pour Decision

4. Quit Drinking: best for a coach and a buddy

A streak timer plus a community forum, buddy system and personal quit coach, with trackers for drinks, calories and cravings, guided meditation and a journal. Its listing says it contains advertising. The Quit Plan costs $19.99 a month or $99.99 a year. Quit Drinking vs Pour Decision

5. Sunnyside: best for moderation

Built for mindful drinking, not sobriety. Sunnyside gives you a drink plan that adjusts gradually, lets you log drinks by text message, and offers coaches by text. After a 15-day trial, Membership is $99.99. Sunnyside vs Pour Decision

6. DrinkControl: best for tracking moderate drinking

A long-running, well-reviewed tracker that converts every drink to standard units and flags days over official guidelines. Data stays on your phone, it syncs with Apple Health, and it runs on Android too. Free, with Premium from $11.99 a year. DrinkControl vs Pour Decision

7. Try Dry: best for Dry January

The official Dry January app from the UK charity Alcohol Change UK. Track units, calories and money, set goals, earn badges and get free coaching emails. Free with no ads, and it needs an account. Try Dry vs Pour Decision

8. Less: best free mindful-drinking tracker

From the makers of the Zero fasting app, Less turns your drinking into weather on a sailing journey. Set a weekly limit and build drink-free streaks. Free, though its latest App Store release is from 2021. Less vs Pour Decision

9. Nomo: best free sobriety clock

Unlimited sobriety clocks, morning and evening check-ins, and accountability partners who can see your progress. Free, with widgets sold as a separate app. Nomo vs Pour Decision

10. Sober Time: best for several addictions

A sobriety counter for any addiction, with milestones, a health timeline and a community forum. Free with ads, or Premium at $29.99 a year. Sober Time vs Pour Decision

11. Days Since: best for Apple Watch

A simple counter for any habit you want to break, with reset history, longest streaks, widgets and an Apple Watch app. Free to start, with upgrades from $17.99 a year. Days Since vs Pour Decision

12. EasyQuit: best free counter with health milestones

A sober counter that shows how your body recovers, money saved toward a reward, 100 badges and a Slow Mode for easing off. Free with ads, and its privacy label says some data is used to track you. EasyQuit vs Pour Decision

How to choose the right app

• You still drink and want to stop: pick an app with a plan, not just a counter. Pour Decision steps you down to zero; Reframe teaches you through a course.
• You've already stopped: a sober counter keeps you motivated. I Am Sober, Nomo, Sober Time and Days Since all do this well, and Pour Decision's sober clock takes over once you reach zero.
• You want to drink less, not quit: Sunnyside, DrinkControl and Less are built for moderation.
• You want people around you: I Am Sober and Quit Drinking have communities; Reframe, Sunnyside and Quit Drinking offer coaching.
• Privacy matters: look for no account and no ads. Pour Decision has neither, and keeps your data on your phone.
• Cravings are the hard part: look for in-the-moment help, and read our guide on how to deal with alcohol cravings.

Whatever you choose, the best app is the one you'll open every day. If you drink heavily every day, talk to a doctor before you cut back or stop.
