Quitzilla vs Sobermark: which quit-habit tracker fits you?

If you are weighing up Quitzilla and Sobermark, you are almost certainly on Android and trying to leave a habit behind: drinking, smoking, vaping, gambling, or something more personal. The two apps sit in the same corner of the Play Store. Both are trackers rather than courses, both count your days, and both try to make the invisible work of quitting feel visible.

Full disclosure: Sobermark is our app, so we are not neutral. We have tried to keep everything below fair, and we tell you when a rival is the better fit.

The short version: Quitzilla is the stronger pick if you want several counters running at the same time, one for each habit. Sobermark is the stronger pick if you want help in the moment a craving hits, a warmer tone, and more detail on the money and time you are getting back. The rest of this piece unpacks that.

Two trackers with different temperaments

Quitzilla is best known as a multi-counter app. You can set up separate timers for separate habits and watch them all tick along together, and it lets you write down your reasons for quitting so you can revisit them later. The overall feel is practical and dashboard-like: numbers first, everything in one view. For people who think in lists and like seeing all their battles on one screen, that layout genuinely works.

Sobermark takes the opposite bet. It is built around one focused counter for the habit you are quitting, whether that is alcohol, smoking, vaping, weed, gambling or a custom one you name yourself. Instead of a dashboard, you get Bern, a friendly sun bear who offers steady encouragement without ever laying on the guilt. If you slip, the counter resets and that is the end of it. No scolding, no broken-streak drama, just a fresh start and a bear who is still on your side.

Neither temperament is wrong. One is a spreadsheet, the other is a companion. You probably already know which of those you will still be opening in month three.

Tracking and day-to-day features

On raw counting, both apps do the job. The differences show up around the edges of the counter.

Quitzilla's edge is breadth. Multiple simultaneous counters mean you can quit smoking and cut out gambling in the same app without the two getting tangled, and its reasons lists give you something to reread when your resolve dips. At the time of writing it also offers achievement-style milestones, though the details vary by version, so check the store listing.

Sobermark's edge is depth on a single habit. It turns your own numbers into money saved, time reclaimed and units avoided, which makes progress feel concrete rather than abstract. There are milestones and badges, a journal with moods so you can spot patterns in when cravings bite, and shareable progress cards for the days you want to tell someone. Most importantly, it has craving SOS tools: a hold-on breathing exercise and a ride-it-out timer for the minutes when quitting is genuinely hard. A counter tells you how far you have come. The SOS tools are there for the moment you are about to go back.

Privacy and cost

Sobermark asks for no account and no sign up. Your entries stay on your phone, and there are no feeds, forums or community features by design. The app is calm on purpose. Core tracking is free. Sobermark Pro is £14.99 a year with a 7 day free trial, £2.99 a week, or £24.99 for lifetime access with one payment.

Quitzilla has historically been free to download with an optional paid upgrade, but we would rather you check its Play Store listing for current pricing than trust a rival's summary. Its privacy setup is also its own to describe, so read the data safety section on its listing if that matters to you. For what it is worth, neither app is built around community, which puts them both on the quieter end of this category.

Who should pick what

Pick Quitzilla if you are quitting two or three things at once and want a live counter for each. That is its home ground, and Sobermark's single-counter design simply is not built for that job. It also suits people who want a plain utility with no mascot and no personality.

Pick Sobermark if you are focused on one habit and want more than a number: craving tools for the hard minutes, a journal to understand your triggers, and stats that show what quitting is actually worth in pounds and hours.

Pick neither if you are on iPhone, since Sobermark has no iOS app yet and Quitzilla is Android-focused too. I Am Sober or Sober Time are better starting points there. And if what you really want is people, a community that checks in on you, I Am Sober's shared milestones will serve you better than either app here.

Common questions

Can Sobermark track more than one habit?

You can track any habit you choose, including a custom one, but the app is built around one focused counter rather than a wall of simultaneous timers. If you want five counters ticking at once, Quitzilla is the better tool.

What happens in either app if I slip?

In Sobermark the counter resets and nothing else happens: no scolding, no lost data, your journal and stats stay put. Quitzilla also lets you restart a counter. A reset is information, not failure.

Is either app available on iPhone?

Sobermark is Android only for now, and Quitzilla is known as an Android app too. Check the App Store for current alternatives if you are on iOS.

Do I have to pay to use Sobermark?

No. Core tracking is free. Pro adds extras at £14.99 a year with a 7 day free trial, £2.99 a week, or £24.99 once for lifetime.
