# QuitNow vs Lailo

The clearest difference is monetization model: QuitNow at free with in-app purchases against Lailo's subscription. QuitNow also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 374). Lailo's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuitNow sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Lailo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for QuitNow against 4.7 for Lailo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuitNow has 14K ratings behind it against 374, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of QuitNow's written reviews are positive against 67% of Lailo's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
