Compare gambling recovery apps: NoGambling.app vs four alternatives
Disclosure: we make NoGambling.app, so we are not a neutral source. Facts about the other tools come from their official sites (Gamban, BetBlocker, GamStop, Gambling Therapy), checked November 2026. A "No" in the table means we did not find that feature listed there.
How to use this page
Pick the competitor closest to what you have today (or were about to install). Every comparison below is honest about what the other tool does well before laying out where NoGambling.app fits differently. If you want a tracker, urge tool, savings estimate and community feed in one iPhone app, that is what NoGambling.app is for. It does not replace a cross-device blocker, UK self-exclusion or talking to a person, so you may want to combine tools.
