# Sober vs YourKeepr

The clearest difference is monetization model: YourKeepr at free against Sober's free with in-app purchases. YourKeepr also leads on iOS requirement (14.2 vs 16.4). Sober's advantage is ratings volume (7.8K vs 19). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sober sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and YourKeepr sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 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 4.7 for YourKeepr. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sober has 7.8K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 67% and 67% positive.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
