Bramble vs QUITTR
QUITTR is one of the most popular apps in this space, with more than thirty thousand App Store ratings. It is a habit program built around a day count: daily exercises, meditations, lessons, a progress tracker and a community, with blocking tools among them. Bramble starts from the other end. It is a blocker first, it counts nothing, and no one is sent what you looked at.
QUITTR’s website did not respond to any attempt to read it, so every QUITTR fact below comes from its App Store, Google Play and Chrome Web Store listings, read on October 4, 2026, and from reporting cited by name.
| Bramble | QUITTR | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free, for good. No paid tier and no ads. | Free to download; its listing says a subscription is required for full access. App Store purchases run from $9.99 a month to $49.99 for lifetime. |
| What it is | A blocker, with the recovery work alongside it. | A habit and recovery program: daily exercises, meditations, lessons, challenges, a progress tracker and a community. It lists “AI-powered temptation blockers” among its tools. |
| How it blocks on an iPhone | Four layers on the phone: a DNS proxy, a URL content filter, an app shield and an image check in Safari. | Its listings do not say. On Android it uses Accessibility. |
| Devices | iPhone, Chrome (also Edge, Brave and ChromeOS) and Mac. | iPhone and iPad, Android, and a Chrome extension. |
| Day counting | None, by design. | Central to it, from “day one” on. |
| Tracking and ads | No ads and no advertising SDK. | Its App Store label lists identifiers and usage data as “used to track you” and says it contains advertising. Its Google Play listing says “Data isn’t encrypted.” |
| Faith | Christ-centered, informed by Patrick Carnes. | No faith language in its listings. |

What QUITTR does well
A lot of men like it. It holds a 4.7 from more than thirty thousand ratings on the App Store, which says something real about how it feels to use. It gives a man something to do every day, a structure to follow and a community of other men doing the same thing. Its lifetime price is low for the category, and it runs on Android, which Bramble does not.
Counting days
QUITTR is built around the count, from day one on. For some men that is exactly the push they need. Bramble does not count days, on purpose. When the count is the measure, one bad night can feel like losing everything, and that feeling is one of the strongest pulls back. Researchers have a name for it, the abstinence violation effect. What a day count can and cannot measure is the longer version.
What it knows about you
An app like this holds some of the most private things a man will ever type. In March 2026, 404 Media reported that a misconfigured database had exposed QUITTR users’ ages, how often they masturbate and how porn makes them feel, many of them minors. It later reported that researchers had warned the company about it for months beforehand. QUITTR says the problem has been resolved. Its App Store label also lists identifiers and usage data as used to track you, and its Google Play listing says its data is not encrypted.
Bramble has no ads and no advertising SDK. Your browsing history never leaves the phone unhashed, and your journal is yours alone, not visible to your witnesses and not visible to us. No one gets a list of what you looked at.
The difference in price
QUITTR needs a subscription for full access, from $9.99 a month, or $49.99 once for lifetime. Bramble is free, and will stay free. Porn does not leave the internet the month a card expires.
Which one fits
- Choose QUITTR if a daily program and a visible count are what keep you going, or if you are on Android.
- Choose Bramble if you want real blocking on an iPhone, Chrome or a Mac, no count to lose, nothing about you used for tracking, and nothing to pay.
If free, private and no count to lose is what you were looking for, you can stop comparing here.
