“Letter from Founder & CEO Ben Moradi
I’m in recovery. I built a sobriety app. Here’s why it’s free.
I’ve seen the apps. Tracker behind a paywall. “No ads” — but only if you subscribe. Features locked until you pull out a credit card.
I know what it’s like to not have a credit card. Addiction has a way of doing that to you.
So when I built SobrCircle, I made a decision:
the person who just blew up their life and finally decided to get help should be able to download this and use all the feautures. For free. For real.
With No ads. Ever.
That’s a principle, not a marketing line. Outside influence has no place here.
Fundamentally, this is meant to be a tool first.
If somebody wants community, it’s there.
If somebody simply wants privacy, a sobriety tracker, widgets, journaling, meeting navigation, reminders, and a place to quietly rebuild their life without ads or their data being sold, they can use it that way too.
Here’s what’s free, no catch:
• Day counter + sobriety widgets
• Journaling + check-ins
• Meeting finder with 195,000+ meetings and in-app navigation
• A private circle of up to 5 people
• Milestone tracking with circle notifications
• Group rooms + meeting rooms you can join when invited
There’s a Supporter option for heavier users — bigger circles and hosting rooms — because storage costs money and somebody has to keep the lights on without selling ads. Cap on scale, not features.
In the spirit of recovery, the people who can help support the platform make it possible for the newcomer.
I built this because I felt like too many tech companies were building recovery apps as conversion plays, looking at addiction from the outside.
I’m someone in recovery who just happens to love tech, and I wanted to build something from the inside — rooted in privacy, connection, and the principles that actually matter to people living it.
I wanted to build one like one of us would.”
