# Reframe vs Quit Drinking

The clearest difference is monetization model: Reframe at free with in-app purchases against Quit Drinking's subscription. Reframe also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (45K vs 4.3K). Quit Drinking's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (79% vs 60%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reframe sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Quit Drinking sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quit Drinking holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reframe has 45K ratings behind it against 4.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Reframe's written reviews are positive against 79% of Quit Drinking's.

Reframe ships an update every 5 days, Quit Drinking every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
