# DrinkControl vs Alcohol Tracker°

The clearest difference is ratings volume: DrinkControl at 4.3K against Alcohol Tracker°'s 38. DrinkControl also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Alcohol Tracker°'s advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DrinkControl sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Alcohol Tracker° sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DrinkControl holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DrinkControl has 4.3K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of DrinkControl's written reviews are positive against 87% of Alcohol Tracker°'s.

DrinkControl ships an update monthly, Alcohol Tracker° every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
