# Quitzilla vs Sober Way

The clearest difference is ads: Quitzilla at none against Sober Way's shown. Quitzilla also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 8). Sober Way's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quitzilla sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Sober Way sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sober Way holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quitzilla has 1.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Quitzilla's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sober Way's.

Quitzilla ships an update every 10 months, Sober Way every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
