Recovery app comparison
Compare Recovery Apps by the Support You Need
There is no single best app for every recovery situation. This comparison separates private journaling, peer support, general counters, and clinician-backed care. RecoveryRoad publishes it and includes its own product. The order is not a clinical ranking.
Start with the support you need
Decide whether you need a personal journal, peer contact, device blocking, or licensed care. Then check privacy controls, platform compatibility, and actual purchase terms. A counter cannot determine medical safety.

Which approach fits your task?
RecoveryRoad
RecoveryRoad combines self-entered recovery tracking, daily check-ins, an on-device journal, and identity-focused reflection. It is not a clinical treatment service or a relapse predictor.
- You want a personal check-in and journal routine.
- You want to explore an identity workbook alongside tracking.
Does not provide clinical treatment or monitored crisis care. Local journaling does not mean every optional service involves no data processing.
Read RecoveryRoad privacy detailsI Am Sober
I Am Sober combines a sobriety counter, daily pledges, reflection, and community. Its store listing describes optional Sober Plus features including groups, app locking, backups, and additional tracking. RecoveryRoad focuses on a personal daily record and identity-focused reflection; optional community services and sharing need separate review.
- You want community alongside a counter and daily pledge.
- You want to evaluate optional group and backup features.
Confirm which features require Sober Plus on your platform. Review sharing controls separately from private group or app-lock features.
Read the I Am Sober comparisonPelago (formerly Quit Genius)
Pelago is a clinician-backed behavioral-health service, not simply a standalone sobriety counter. Its current site describes substance-use, mental-health, and behavioral-addiction care. Access and cost depend on eligibility and coverage. RecoveryRoad is a self-help tracking and journaling app, not a substitute for that clinical service.
- You need to investigate clinician-backed care rather than only a personal record.
- You can check eligibility through an employer or health plan.
Eligibility, coverage, services, and costs must be confirmed directly. Do not infer treatment access from an app download or an old Quit Genius price.
Read the Pelago (formerly Quit Genius) comparisonNomo
Nomo offers multiple sobriety clocks, a journal, optional partners, and communication features. Its listing describes clocks as private by default and documents guest use. It is inaccurate to describe Nomo as having no journal or requiring a public recovery profile. RecoveryRoad adds its own daily reflection, Stability Score, and identity-workbook approach.
- You want several clocks with optional partner features.
- You want to evaluate a straightforward journal and daily inventory.
Check current guest-mode limitations and account-dependent sharing features. Private-by-default clocks do not establish an independent security certification.
Read the Nomo comparisonEasyQuit Sobriety Counter
This comparison covers the alcohol-focused EasyQuit Sobriety Counter listing, not every similarly named smoking app. It advertises a day counter, spending estimates, badges, and a distraction activity, with additional features in a separate Pro edition. RecoveryRoad has a broader multi-category reflection and identity-workbook focus.
- You want an alcohol-focused counter and spending estimate.
- You prefer to compare a dedicated free edition with its separate Pro listing.
Confirm that you are opening the intended alcohol-focused app and platform. An advertised slow mode is not proof that unsupervised alcohol withdrawal is safe.

Questions about this comparison
Which type of recovery app should I compare?
Compare the task: ongoing private reflection, peer interaction, simple date tracking, access blocking, or licensed care. They solve different problems. Clinical suitability requires appropriate professional advice.
Are the prices and ratings ranked here?
No. This review does not assert exact current regional prices or numerical store ratings. Follow the source links to verify current terms before purchasing.
Start with the function you need and the support you already have. Then check sharing, account requirements, compatibility, and the actual purchase terms. Do not use any app comparison as a withdrawal or emergency assessment.
