Most drink trackers ask how many drinks you had. That's the wrong question. A 19.2 oz stovepipe of an 8% IPA is more than two standard drinks. A restaurant pour of wine is rarely 5 oz. TabTotaler knows the difference. What you get - 637 drinks with verified ABV, serving sizes, and calories - Search, barcode scan (Plus), or build your own pour - Two tallies: drinks logged and US standard drinks from size + ABV - Session tracking — start, end, continue within 10 hours, or restart fresh - Interactive BAC curve after your first drink (Widmark model with uncertainty) - Water logging during sessions - Weekly goals, calendar heatmap, day detail, and trends (Plus) - Safety screen with ride-home links — free at every tier, never paywalled Plans - Free: 7-day history, session tracking, daily reminder, ads supported - Plus: Unlimited synced history, barcode scan, journal, insights, custom drink time, CSV export, no ads, two sessions per day (sequential) - Pro: Two active sessions at once (You + Guest), per-slot Insights, spend tracking, session recap, breathalyzer log & compare, up to 3 restarts per slot per day Important TabTotaler is not a breathalyzer and does not measure blood alcohol. All figures are estimates from a mathematical model — not device or lab readings. Never use this app to decide whether it is safe or legal to drive, or to justify driving after drinking.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TallyTab at none against Drink Tracker's 7. TallyTab also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). Drink Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
