Recovery Loop keeps you connected to the people supporting your recovery — your coach, house manager, or organization's team — every day, not just during scheduled visits. DAILY CHECK-INS Log your mood, cravings, and how you're doing in seconds. Your coach or house manager sees it right away, so support can happen before a hard day becomes a setback. MEETING & LOCATION CHECK-INS Check in when you get to a meeting, appointment, or any place that matters to your recovery. Name it yourself, and check out when you leave. Your coach can see where and confirm you were there — you're always in control of when you check in. STAY IN THE LOOP Get notified the moment your coach responds, a form needs your attention, or your program shares an announcement — right on your phone, even when the app is closed. PRIVATE AND PROTECTED Unlock the app with Face ID or Touch ID so your recovery information stays private, even if someone else has your phone. FOR RECOVERY COACHES, SOBER LIVING HOUSES, AND ALUMNI PROGRAMS Recovery Loop is the mobile app for your organization's Recovery Loop portal. If you're a client, resident, or alumni member, ask your coach or program for an invite to get started. If you run a recovery coaching practice, sober living house, or treatment center alumni program, visit recoveryportal.net to set up your organization.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Recovery Loop at free against Taste Recovery's freemium. Taste Recovery's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Recovery Loop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Taste Recovery has 52 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
