What each one does well

Smoke Free is one of the most studied consumer quit apps, and UK councils offer its premium version free to residents.
QuitNow! has a large, long-running community of ex-smokers.
Kwit makes progress feel like a game, with a CBT-inspired approach.
Flamy lets you taper instead of stopping on a set day, which suits some people.
QuitSure packs a structured programme into six days, and is built for vaping as well as smoking.
Outside apps: in the UK, NHS Quit Smoking is a free 28-day programme from the Department of Health, and in the US quitSTART comes free from the National Cancer Institute. Also in the US, This is Quitting (Truth Initiative) is a free text-message programme for quitting vapes with strong trial results. In Malaysia, ask about mQuit quit services at government clinics and hospitals.

Where Quitterly is different

Built for vapes and pouches, not just cigarettes. Most quit apps we looked at are written for smokers.
A step-down plan, not just a tracker. Many apps log your gum; Quitterly plans how it comes down, at your pace, and never above your pack's limit.
Made in Malaysia, in English and Bahasa Malaysia.

Whatever you choose, use something

Apps, your doctor, a pharmacist, a quitline, a friend who checks in. Support makes quitting more likely, and the best support is the one you'll actually use. If Quitterly isn't your thing, we're still rooting for you.
