Quittr alternative: how Interruptr compares

4 min read

Quittr is one of the best-known quit porn apps, and for good reason: it made recovery feel like a modern app, not homework. If you’re looking for a Quittr alternative, this page compares the two honestly, including where Quittr is the better choice.

One thing to know first: Interruptr is in development. Quittr is available today. Everything we say about Interruptr below describes what we’re building for the Android launch.

Last checked September 2026. Prices and features change, so check each app’s store listing before you decide.

The short version

  • Quittr is a recovery program: progress tracking, daily challenges, meditation, exercises and a large community, with filtering and blocker tools built in.
  • Interruptr is a blocker built around the moment of the urge: it catches an attempt, locks your phone for five minutes, and won’t open until you’ve done 20 pushups. Switching it off is designed to cost something.

Side by side

Where Quittr is strong

  • A real program. Progress tracking, daily challenges, meditation and exercises give you something to do every day, not just a filter running in the background.
  • Community. Reviewers regularly single out the sense of community as the part that helps most.
  • It’s here now, on both platforms. Quittr is rated 4.7 on the App Store (around 34,000 ratings) and 4.5 on Google Play, with 100,000+ Android downloads.

Where people push back

  • The paywall. A common complaint in reviews is that you can’t use any part of the app until you pay. For something people turn to in a hard moment, that stings.
  • Privacy. In March 2026, 404 Media reported that Quittr had exposed sensitive data from hundreds of thousands of users, including ages and self-reported habits, through a misconfigured database. The flaw was fixed before the app was publicly named. If you use any app in this category, it’s worth asking what it stores and where.

How Interruptr is different

  1. It acts in the moment. Instead of only blocking the page, it interrupts the urge: a lock, 20 pushups, a note from past you, and one tap to call someone. Here’s why that works.
  2. It’s built not to fold at 2am. Tightening a rule is instant; loosening one takes a wait. Uninstalling means going through a warning, and, if you’ve set them up, a partner alert and a deposit that goes to charity. More on why that matters.
  3. Your data stays on your phone. What you type is checked on the device and discarded. Your trigger map and check-ins stay on the phone. Only counts and status leave it.
  4. A free core. The blocker and streak counter will be free for good.

Which should you choose?

  • Choose Quittr if you want a structured daily program and a big community today, or you’re on iPhone.
  • Choose Interruptr if your problem is the moment itself: you’ve installed blockers before and switched them off late at night, and you want a tool that makes you stop rather than one you can talk your way out of. It’s Android first, and the waitlist is open.

Some people will want both: a program for the daytime, and an interrupt for the worst five minutes.
