Frequently asked questions
Is I Am Sober free?
I Am Sober has a free tier with basic sobriety tracking and daily pledges, but most meaningful features — milestone celebrations, detailed stats, and full community access — require a paid subscription at $9.99/month or $29.99/year. SoberCrew is completely free, forever, with no premium tier.
Does I Am Sober have a 12-step tracker?
No. I Am Sober does not include a 12-step tracker, Step 4 moral inventory, or amends tracker. SoberCrew includes a full 12-step tracker with personal notes, a Step 4 inventory tool, and an amends tracker built for Steps 8 and 9.
Which sobriety app is better for AA members?
SoberCrew is built with AA and 12-step recovery in mind. It includes a full 12-step tracker, Step 4 moral inventory, amends tracker (Steps 8–9), nightly inventory (Step 10), meeting finder, and service commitments tracker (Step 12). I Am Sober has none of these features.
Can I connect with my sponsor on I Am Sober?
I Am Sober has a general buddy/accountability feature in the paid tier, but it is not sponsor-specific. SoberCrew has a dedicated Crew feature where you invite your sponsor, family, and friends — they see your sobriety milestones in real time.
