# QuitNow vs Sooth

The clearest difference is ratings volume: QuitNow at 14K against Sooth's 1. QuitNow also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Sooth's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuitNow sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Sooth sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sooth holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuitNow has 14K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

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