A Quit Tracker alternative with a daily companion.

Lungo vs Quit Tracker: what changes in everyday use?

Here is a practical comparison of public product information. Features and paid options can change; check the linked sources for the version on your phone. Lungo information comes from our current product and store descriptions. [3] [4]

Quit Tracker already offers playful features. The difference to explore is how Lungo’s companion, check-in and item collection fit into your day. A feature missing from a public description should not be treated as a confirmed omission.

Give your savings a place in Lungo’s little world

Money is a useful starting point because it makes an avoided purchase visible. But a number can remain abstract: you open the app, see it rise, and close the screen. Lungo adds something you can do with the progress. Virtual savings unlock items for your frog and his rooms, while the actual money stays yours.

A hat is a small reward, not an investment or a cash payout. You are personalising a character with progress you have recorded. That can make a quiet, ordinary day feel worth checking in for, even when you are nowhere near a big anniversary. If you enjoy collecting things or making a small space your own, this is a good reason to try Lungo.

Keep the estimate grounded in your own habits

For example, imagine someone previously smoking 10 cigarettes a day from packs of 20 costing €8. That works out to €4 per day, or €28 across seven days without those purchases. These are illustrative inputs, not current cigarette prices or a forecast of your bank balance. Your own consumption, prices and purchases determine what you actually keep.

Use our quit smoking savings calculator to explore your numbers before downloading. If you use pods, try the separate vaping savings calculator. The point is to give your progress context that matters to you, whether that means a meal out, a hobby or simply less money spent on nicotine.

From checking a number to checking in with Lungo

The frog is part of a repeatable interaction. You do not need to invent a new task every day or wait for a new milestone before opening the app. Here is how the main loop works:

1. 1

   Choose what you are leaving behind

   Set up smoking, vaping or both, and enter your previous habits. That starting point gives the tracker context. Pick the option that describes your situation rather than squeezing a vaping habit into a cigarette count.

2. 2

   Hand over your avoided units

   At the daily check-in, you pass the cigarettes or puffs you avoided to Lungo in his pixel world. It is a game interaction, with no real tobacco involved. Your part is the progress you made outside the screen.

3. 3

   See the response to your progress

   XP, streaks and achievements give you several ways to see the journey. The character adds personality to those numbers. You can enjoy that response without treating a score as a judgement of how well you are coping.

4. 4

   Make the frog’s world yours

   Use virtual savings for cosmetic items. Come back for a small check-in, then get on with your day. Lungo is designed to accompany the change you are making, rather than require you to spend long sessions inside an app.

Imagine using the check-in after breakfast or before bed. A familiar moment gives the interaction a place in your existing routine. This is an example of how you could use the app, not a tested treatment schedule or a promise that a daily check-in will prevent a slip.

When you want a pause rather than another statistic

A savings total can explain why you want to quit; it may not be what you want to look at during a difficult coffee break. Lungo puts a guided breathing exercise next to the tracker. You can take one minute to follow it and then decide what to do next. You do not need to reach a level or earn an item to use the core craving tools.

Craving logging gives that moment a record: what triggered it, how intense it felt and whether you made it through. Over time, these entries can give you material for reflection. Lungo Plus adds deeper insights and the Plus Coach; the basic act of logging remains part of the free core.

Try the one-minute breathing timer on our website to get a feel for a guided pause. You can also read our guide to identifying smoking triggers and write down one familiar situation you want to approach differently.

What to check before switching your quit tracker

Start with the record you already have. If you value an old milestone, note the date and save the information you want to keep before changing apps. Do not assume that a new app can import another app’s history. Check the current settings and support information for export or transfer options.

Then choose one thing you want the new experience to offer. Perhaps it is tracking vaping alongside cigarettes, a daily character interaction, or an ad-free place for a quick check-in. Having a specific reason makes it easier to judge whether Lungo fits, instead of comparing every screen at once.

You can explore the free core before deciding about Plus. There is no need to delete an existing record just to see whether you like the frog. If you keep more than one tracker temporarily, decide which one is your main record so that different settings do not turn into confusing comparisons.

What can you try without Lungo Plus?

The free core includes your buddy, daily check-ins, streaks, savings, craving logging and breathing exercises. Optional Plus adds deeper craving insights, the Plus Coach, exclusive cosmetics and extended calendar history. Start with the features you want to use; you can decide separately whether the extras interest you.
