Five people. Your sponsor, your family, the friend who gets it. They see the number, and you can reach any of them in one tap. No public feed. No strangers. No meaningless pop-ups. Hear from the people in your circle. Still Standing is a sobriety counter built by someone who’s been there (sober since August 2020). The counter is free forever. You only pay if you want those five people watching it climb with you. No clichés. No guilt. No confetti when you hit a milestone. Just the days, the money you haven’t spent, and the tools for the minute it gets hard. WHAT IT DOES • Counter that runs from the day you set it: days, hours, minutes, seconds • Money saved, based on your old daily spend • My Circle: up to five people get your milestone notifications, and you can reach any of them in one tap • Now mode: box breathing (in, out, hold), a 15-minute ride-it-out timer, a HALT check, your reason, and crisis lines. No hunting through menus. • Daily check-in: just how you’re feeling • Home screen widget, so the number is there without opening the app The counter is free. Always. Premium ($14.99/year or $24.99 once) is only for the circle. The first week is free. Built for the nights that actually matter, not the ones that look good in a screenshot.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Still Standing Sobriety at freemium against The Sobriety Method's subscription. Still Standing Sobriety also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). The Sobriety Method's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
