Comparison
Blou vs QuitNow
We make Blou, so we’re not neutral. This comparison is meant to help you choose the style of support you’ll actually use: visual tracking vs community accountability.
Choose Blou if…
- You’re on iPhone and want a clean, lightweight tracker.
- You want a fast craving tool you can use in seconds.
- You’re motivated by money saved and milestones (see money saved).
Choose QuitNow if…
- You quit best with peer support (posting, reading, accountability).
- You want cross-platform support (iOS + Android).
- You’re motivated by social milestones and group progress.
How to decide in 2 minutes
- If you will actively use community daily, try QuitNow. If you won’t, choose a fast tracker.
- If your cravings are tied to cues (coffee, driving, stress), use a craving playbook like cravings.
- Start with a real quit plan (see how to quit smoking).
Frequently asked questions
Is Blou better than QuitNow?
It depends on what keeps you on track. If you quit best with simple visual progress and a fast craving tool, Blou is a strong fit on iPhone. If you quit best with peer accountability and forums, QuitNow can be the better choice.
Which app is better for community support?
QuitNow is generally more community-forward, with social features that motivate some people to stay quit.
Which app is better for tracking money saved?
Both can track savings, but the key is using the number to reward yourself weekly. You can also use the /tools/money-saved calculator regardless of app.
What should I do if I slip?
Contain it quickly and return to plan. Use /i-smoked-one-cigarette for the first-hour playbook.
