Best Quit Smoking Apps for Android
A quit-smoking app can help you record cigarettes, follow a reduction plan, review progress or find support. Start with the job you need it to do: a daily cigarette log and waiting plan are different from a smoke-free timer, a community chat or an enrolment-based treatment service.
Publisher disclosure: this website is published by Alive’s developer, Francisco Garibay. This is a comparison of approaches, not an independent effectiveness ranking. The order is not a score. Features and access were checked against official listings and provider websites on 21 October 2026.
Alive combines a cigarette counter with a gradual quit-smoking plan on Android. It is an option to consider if you want to record what you smoke while following planned waits, rather than only counting the time since your last cigarette.
How the gradual plan works
- Enter your smoking habits to create your starting plan.
- Log each cigarette as you go. Check the planned waiting time before the next one; the record depends on the entries you make.
- Follow weekly phases that gradually increase the planned time between cigarettes.
- At the end of a week, choose whether to advance or stay in your current phase.
Review your recorded cigarette counts, cigarettes avoided and estimated savings. These figures help you look back at your entries; they are not measurements of your health.
Cost and access: the Android listing describes a first-week trial followed by subscription plans. Check the current offer, price, renewal and cancellation terms shown for your Google Play account before confirming a purchase. This is not an unlimited free plan.
Practical limit: you still need to record each cigarette and choose your next step. Alive is a planning and tracking tool, not medical treatment or a guarantee that you will quit.

How to choose a quit-smoking app for Android
- Decide what to track. If you still smoke, look for a cigarette log and a plan you can follow today. If you have stopped, check whether the app focuses on smoke-free time, money saved or a diary.
- Choose the kind of support you want. A reminder, peer chat and a clinician-led service are different things. Read what is actually included before signing up.
- Check access and total cost. Free download does not mean the whole program is free. Look for trial terms, subscriptions, ads, optional purchases and eligibility rules.
- Check your phone and privacy choices. Open the official Google Play listing with the account you will use. Check device compatibility, permissions, the Data safety section and the developer’s privacy policy.
You can also use our gradual smoking cessation planner to think through your starting routine before choosing an app.

Smoke Free lists a craving diary, quit log, badges and savings tracking, alongside support features. Google Play labels ads and in-app purchases. Check which tools are included in your offer. Official Android listing.

What the numbers in these apps mean
A cigarette count reflects what you record; estimated savings depend on the smoking and price information supplied. Health timelines describe milestones, not a measurement of your own recovery. Compare the information you will actually use each day, rather than treating a longer feature list as proof that an app will work better for you.
QuitNow!
QuitNow! lists smoke-free time, cigarettes avoided, savings, achievements and an ex-smoker community chat. Google Play labels ads and in-app purchases. Check access to its additional support features. Official Android listing.

Pelago – formerly Quit Genius
Quit Genius was renamed Pelago in 2023. It now presents a broader care service available through participating employers or health plans. Eligibility and coverage differ from access to a self-guided consumer tracker.

Questions before installing a quit-smoking app
Which Android app can help me cut down gradually?
Alive describes a cigarette log and planned waits organised into weekly phases. EasyQuit also lists a gradual mode. Compare the actual workflow, cost and information you need to enter; the presence of a gradual mode does not show that one app is more effective than another.
Is a free download the same as a free program?
No. Some apps include ads, optional purchases, a limited trial or a paid program. Read the current offer in Google Play before starting a trial or subscription. Prices and availability can vary by account and region.
Can I use the same app on an iPhone?
Several entries have iOS links below their descriptions. Check the current listing for your device: features, subscriptions and availability can differ between Android and iPhone. Our iPhone app comparison is a separate resource.
Can an app replace professional support?
A self-guided tracker does not replace medical care. If you want help choosing treatment or managing withdrawal, consult a healthcare professional or a stop-smoking service. The NHS explains its stop-smoking support services.
How was this comparison prepared?
We checked the linked official Android listings and Pelago’s website on 21 October 2026. Descriptions concern listed features and access, not hands-on testing of every app or comparative clinical outcomes. Store listings can change; use the links to confirm the details that matter to you.
