Mindful Drinking also leads on ratings volume (55 vs 13) and iOS requirement (15.3 vs 17.0). 1% Habit's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 60%).

Mindful Drinking is free to download; 1% Habit costs $0.99 up front. Mindful Drinking sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and 1% Habit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mindful Drinking holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 55 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Mindful Drinking's written reviews are positive against 80% of 1% Habit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mindful Drinking ships an update every 3 months, 1% Habit weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
