Clearer helps you quit vaping — not with shame, but with a plan that fits how nicotine actually works. • Craving rescue: a guided breathing + distraction flow for the 3–5 minutes a craving lasts. • A real quit plan: pick your quit day, prep with a checklist, then track every clear day. • Honest progress: see days clear, money reclaimed, puffs avoided, and health milestones. • Spot your patterns: discover the times, triggers, and feelings behind your habit so you can stay ahead of them. • Know what's happening: rotating, science-backed notes on what your body and mind are doing as you recover. Your data stays private on your device. Clearer is a wellness and motivation tool, not a medical device, and doesn't provide medical advice — if you need clinical help, talk to a doctor or call a free quitline.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Clearer at none against Settle's shown. Clearer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). Settle's advantage is ratings volume (202 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Settle sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Clearer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
