Quick note: I built SEVER after years of trying to quit myself and testing most of these apps. Here’s what each one actually gives you for free, checked on 14 November 2026. Where I couldn’t verify something, I say so.

Last checked: 14 November 2026. Free Core means the free plan; Premium is the optional paid plan. How I ranked is explained below.
1. SEVER: a free plan with no clock
I built SEVER, so here are the facts rather than a pitch. You can check in every day, log relapses and keep your streak going, with no time limit.
Free Core gives you:
- A porn-free streak you can track
- Daily check-ins
- Relapse tracking and logs
- Basic recovery and progress tools
Premium is optional. It adds:
- Blocking in every browser, not only Safari: a web filter plus Protection DNS with a SafeSearch lock (since version 1.5.4)
- Site Shield for 200,000+ adult-content sites
- The app blocker
- Fight the Urge tools for the moment an urge hits
- The full recovery plan: 38 short guided missions from Day 1 to Day 365 (Day 1 is free)
- A private community, recovery resources and focus sounds
No blocker catches everything, and nothing here is a guarantee. An app is a tool for the moment an urge hits, not a cure.
Price (US): $6.99 a month, $29.99 a year or $49.99 once for lifetime. Prices vary by country. There are no third-party ads.
It’s on iOS and Android, and the free part is enough to start.
What “free” means in this space
Most of the confusion comes from three different things sharing one word:
- A free plan: a plan with real features and no clock. You can use it for as long as you want.
- Free trial: everything works for a few days, then you pay or lose access.
- Free to download, core features paid: the store listing says “Free” but the app asks for a subscription during or right after onboarding.
None of these is dishonest in itself. The problem is only finding out which one you’ve signed up for after you’ve spent a week of motivation on it.
2 to 10: the other apps, one by one
2. Fortify
Fortify is a recovery app with a web version and phone apps. Signup is free, and its App Store notes say Premium unlocks unlimited AI coaching, community forums, insights and all Journeys. Its listing also describes daily check-ins, a journal, goals and an SOS tool. I couldn’t verify which of those stay free after signup, so check that in the app. It isn’t a blocker, as far as its pages describe. Don’t confuse it with a separate app named “Fortify: Quit Porn Addiction”, which is from a different developer.
3. Pluckeye
Pluckeye (its site also calls it Plucky) is a self-control filter for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, per its site. In its classic mode it blocks images and videos on every site. If you want to allow a site, there’s a delay you choose in advance, and it can’t be uninstalled until that delay has passed. The free part is a 30-day trial with no payment details, then a sliding scale of $2 to $15 a month depending on income. Its own site calls it do-it-yourself, with a steep learning curve. It’s built for a hard stop rather than for tracking.
4. Accountable2You
Accountable2You works by sharing your device activity with accountability partners you choose, rather than by blocking sites. The apps are free to download and need an account. There’s a 10-day free trial, then Personal at $11 a month or $121 a year (up to six installs, unlimited partners) or Family at $16 a month or $176 a year (up to 20 installs). It covers iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, per its site and store listings.
5. Covenant Eyes (Victory)
Covenant Eyes is built around an ally: someone you choose who gets your activity reports. All plans begin with a 7-day free trial that includes every feature, then it’s $18 a month, $198 a year or $950 for lifetime, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If human accountability is what you’re missing and you’re comfortable with someone else seeing your activity, that’s what it’s built for. It isn’t free after the trial.
6. Canopy
Canopy is a filtering app first, rather than a recovery program: it covers porn filtering, app and website blocking and accountability, and has separate “Myself” and “My Family” options. You get a one-week free trial, then an annual plan (from $8.33 a month for one device), and there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee.
7. Brainbuddy
Brainbuddy is built around a 100-day program with progress tracking, daily check-ins and a community. Apple’s listing says all features need a Premium subscription after onboarding, and there’s a 7-day free trial. Its US App Store list shows several Full Access plans from $2.99 to $99.99, so make sure you know which plan length you’re agreeing to.
8. BlockerX
BlockerX is a blocker for phones, computers and Chrome, with optional accountability. The app is free to download, but its App Store listing says a subscription is needed to access all features. Its site lists a 1-day trial, and the plans and prices differ between the site and the stores, which is why I show only the US App Store lifetime price. If you want a dedicated cross-platform blocker, it’s a real option; it’s just not a free one.
9. Detoxify
Detoxify: Sobriety Tracker is an iPhone sobriety tracker that covers several habits at once, not only porn: it has a counter, urge logging with notes, a recovery timeline and daily challenges. It’s free to download, with in-app plans of $3.99 weekly, $7.99 monthly or $29.99 yearly on the US App Store. I couldn’t verify which features stay free, and I found no Android version on Google Play under that name or similar titles. It’s a new listing (first released April 2026) with no ratings yet, so I ranked it below the apps whose free access I could confirm.
10. Seed
Seed is a gamified app with streaks, hypnosis and breathing exercises, and a community. I found no free version: a paywall follows the onboarding questions. Its US App Store list shows monthly at $12.99 and yearly Seed Pro at $49.99, and there are other offers with different names and prices, so what you’re shown may differ.
How I ranked
I ranked the apps by how much of the app you can use for free, and for how long. A plan with real features and no clock comes first. Free signup with paid full features comes next, then free trials, with the longer, fuller trials ahead of the shorter ones. Detoxify sits below the trials because I couldn’t verify what its free version includes. An app with no free version comes last. I haven’t ranked on features, polish or how well an app works for recovery: that’s a different question, and it depends on you.
How I checked
I checked each app on 14 November 2026. For store presence and prices I used the Apple lookup API, the US App Store pages and the Google Play pages. For Accountable2You, Pluckeye, Covenant Eyes and Canopy, I read the official sites and pricing pages. Where I’d seen an app’s details on an earlier date, I looked again before writing this.
What I couldn’t verify: exactly which Fortify and Detoxify features stay free, BlockerX’s plan prices outside the lifetime plan, and anything that only appears after you’ve signed up in an app. Apps change their pricing without notice, so treat the table as a snapshot and check the store listing before you commit.
How to choose
The ranking is about free value. Pick for the job, not just the price tag:
- You want a tracker you can use for free, with no clock on it: the free plan on SEVER is built for that, and I’d start there. I built it, so check it yourself.
- You want a person to answer to: an accountability app like Accountable2You or Covenant Eyes, or just a friend you trust. A phone call is free.
- You want a hard filter on every device: a filtering app like Pluckeye, Canopy or BlockerX does that job, and you’ll pay for it after the trial.
- You want a structured program with a trial: Brainbuddy offers one. Decide before the trial ends whether you’ll keep it.
An app won’t do the work for you. The habits that matter are the same ones I write about in how to stop masturbating and how to overcome lust: get out of the room when the thought hits, don’t argue with it, and remove what makes the first click easy.
A note on QUITTR
QUITTR was never a free app, and it is no longer available on the App Store or Google Play (as of 14 November 2026). I left it out of the ranking for that reason. What happened to QUITTR has the details.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best free quit porn app?
Ranked by how much you get for free, SEVER is #1 in my list: a Free Core plan with streak tracking, daily check-ins and relapse logs, no trial clock. I built it, so check it against the others. Fortify is #2, with free signup and paid full features. The rest are free trials or paywalled.
Is there a free app to quit porn?
Yes, but 'free' means different things. In my check on 14 November 2026, SEVER (my app) has a Free Core plan with no trial clock: streak tracking, daily check-ins and relapse logs. Fortify lets you sign up for free but locks its full features behind Premium. The other apps I checked are free to download only, or free for a trial.
Are quit porn apps really free?
Most are free to download and paid to use. Several show a paywall right after onboarding, so the app is free in the store listing but not in practice. Check what you can still use after day one before you invest time in an app.
What is the difference between a free trial and a free plan?
A free trial is a clock: you get everything for a few days, then pay or lose access. A free plan has no clock: a smaller set of features stays available as long as you want them. Apps that call themselves free often mean only the first.
Do I need a blocker or a tracker?
They do different jobs. A tracker or check-in app helps you stay honest and see your progress. A blocker or filter makes access harder. Many men use both, plus a person they can be honest with. Neither replaces the other.
Why do the prices differ from what I see in my store?
Prices differ by country, store and offer, and apps change them. Every price on this page is marked (US) or taken from the app's own site, and the table shows when I checked.
