Nomo is a free, much-loved sobriety clock app: create a clock, share it with an accountability partner, and watch the time add up. [Pour Decision](https://pourdecision.app/) has a sober clock too, but it's one part of a full plan to quit drinking. Here's how they compare.

_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 Nomo is the better pick._

## A clock versus a plan

A sobriety clock assumes you've already stopped. That's perfect if you have. But if you still drink, a clock that resets every time you have one can feel more like a scoreboard of failures than a way forward.

Pour Decision starts where you are. It builds a quit plan around your habits, your body and your reasons, with a quit date and weekly goals that step down to zero. You log drinks as you go, and once you reach zero, the sober clock takes over.

## Where Pour Decision is better

- **A path to zero.** A personal plan with a quit date and a clear goal for every week, instead of a single all-or-nothing clock.
- **Real drink tracking.** 200+ drinks and cocktails with standard portions and ABV built in, counted in your country's units, with the calories and money behind every drink.
- **Deeper stats.** Weekly, monthly and yearly charts, and a yearly calendar you can switch between drinks and moods.
- **Craving help built in.** “I'm about to relapse” opens a guided breathing exercise with reminders of your progress.
- **No account, ever.** Your drink logs, moods and personal details stay on your phone. Nomo's App Store privacy label lists your email and user ID as linked to you when you sign in.
- **Widgets, pacer and BAC included.** Home screen widgets, a sip pacer and a blood alcohol estimate come with Pro.

## Where Nomo is better

- **It's free.** Nomo's core app costs nothing.
- **Accountability partners.** Share clocks with people you trust and notify them when you're tempted. Pour Decision doesn't have social features.
- **More than alcohol.** Unlimited clocks for any habit, plus journaling and community encouragements.

## Which one should you choose?

If you've already stopped and want a free clock to share with a sponsor or friend, Nomo is excellent. If you still drink and want a plan, real tracking and help with cravings on the way to zero, choose Pour Decision.
