Choose Smoke Free if…
- You need Android support today.
- You like missions and gamified tasks.

Frequently asked questions
Is Blou better than Smoke Free?
It depends on how you quit. Blou is a clean, visual tracker for iPhone with a strong craving tool and savings/milestones. Smoke Free is widely used, supports Android, and has mission-style gamification and NRT tracking for some users.
Which one is best if I’m on Android?
If you need Android support today, Smoke Free is a safer pick. Blou is iOS-only in 2026 and maintains an Android waitlist on the homepage.
Which one is best for cravings?
The best app for cravings is the one you can use fast. Look for a 1‑tap tool and a simple replacement action you can do in under 3 minutes.
Do I need a quit app if I’m using nicotine patches or gum?
Often yes—NRT reduces withdrawal, and an app helps you handle cues and stay consistent. See /quit-smoking-with-nicotine-patch or /quit-smoking-with-nicotine-gum.
