EasyQuit, listed on the App Store as “Stop Drinking App - EasyQuit” or “Sobriety Counter Stop Drinking”, is a popular free app for quitting alcohol, with a sober counter, health milestones and a Slow Mode for people who can't stop overnight. [Pour Decision](https://pourdecision.app/) shares the goal and some of the approach. Here's where they differ.

_We make Pour Decision, so we've tried to be fair: features and prices below are from each app's US App Store listing in October 2026, and we've included where EasyQuit is the better pick._

## At a glance

|  | Pour Decision | EasyQuit |

## Two ways to ease off

EasyQuit is a sobriety counter at heart. It shows how long you've been alcohol free, counts down to health improvements and adds up the money you've saved toward a reward. If you can't stop right away, its Slow Mode makes a plan to get you there “with less pain or stress”.

Pour Decision is built around that gradual path. It asks about your drinking, body and reasons, then sets a quit date and weekly goals that drop to zero. Every drink you log counts against your goal in your country's units, so you can see exactly how each week went. Once you stop, the sober clock and relapse button keep you going.

## Where Pour Decision is better

- **No ads, no tracking.** EasyQuit shows ads, and its privacy label says identifiers and usage data are used to track you. Pour Decision has neither.
- **Precise drink tracking.** 200+ drinks with standard portions and ABV, with units, calories and money, and weekly to yearly charts.
- **A plan you can follow week by week.** See every week at a glance, with completed weeks, missed weeks and streaks.
- **Moods.** One-tap daily mood check-ins and a yearly mood calendar.
- **Extra tools.** A sip pacer, a blood alcohol estimate, backups and CSV export.

## Where EasyQuit is better

- **Free to use.** If you don't mind ads, the core app costs nothing.
- **Health milestones.** A countdown of how your body recovers after your last drink.
- **Gamified.** Up to 100 badges, 28 themes and a memory game to distract you from cravings.

## Which one should you choose?

If you want a free sober counter with health milestones and don't mind ads, EasyQuit works. If you want an ad-free plan that tracks every drink and steps you down to zero, choose Pour Decision: a plan that gets you to zero, and the tools to stay there.
