# Sober vs Everything AA

Sober and Everything AA both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Everything AA's written reviews are positive against 67% of Sober's. Everything AA also leads on ratings volume (72K vs 7.8K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sober sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Everything AA sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Sober against 4.9 for Everything AA. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everything AA has 72K ratings behind it against 7.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Sober's written reviews are positive against 95% of Everything AA's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
