Nixd vs. Quitzilla
A multi-habit tracking app — porn, alcohol, sugar, social media, nicotine.
Nixd is the better fit for vapes and nicotine pouches. Live-to-the-second streak. A six-tool SOS craving response built for the 3–5 minute window when an urge actually peaks. A personalized taper plan that recalculates around your real usage. A slip flow that doesn't reset you to day zero. Brain-recovery and milestone visualizations grounded in cessation science.
Why Nixd over Quitzilla
Quitzilla was built for a different problem than the one most people quitting today are actually trying to solve. Nixd is built around what vapes and pouches actually are now — always-on, invisible, easy to underestimate. Every feature in the list below is downstream of that one design decision.
- Personalized quit plan based on your actual usage and spend
- Real craving intervention toolkit (six tools, not a quote)
- Health milestones specific to nicotine, not generic
- Brain recovery visualization grounded in nicotine-specific neurobiology
- Slip flow that lets you log a slip without resetting
- Quit method switching, taper schedules, and a daily plan

FAQ
Is Nixd or Quitzilla better for quitting vaping? +
Nixd. The differences show up in the small things: live-to-the-second streak vs. a daily counter, a six-tool SOS toolkit vs. a single craving response, a personalized taper plan that does the math from your real numbers, and a slip flow that doesn't reset you to day zero. If you're quitting a vape, JUUL, or pouches like Zyn, On!, or Velo, Nixd is the call.
What's the price difference between Nixd and Quitzilla? +
Nixd is free to download with a 3-day free trial; current subscription pricing is shown in the App Store at the time of purchase. Quitzilla: $2.99/mo or $19.99/yr for Quitzilla Pro.. The numbers are close enough that price isn't the deciding factor — fit is.
Can I import my history from Quitzilla into Nixd? +
Not directly today. The simplest way: tell Nixd your quit date during onboarding and the streak, milestones, and money-saved math start from there. If your old app exported a JSON or CSV, email feedback@nixdapp.com and we'll see what we can do.
Does Nixd handle nicotine pouches like Zyn, On!, and Velo? +
Yes — natively, with a dedicated pouch flow. Onboarding asks about pouch strength (mg), brand, and daily count. The taper plan uses two knobs (strength and count) instead of one. Quitzilla treats pouches the same as vapes — Nixd doesn't.
Why bias the comparison toward Nixd? +
Because we built Nixd. The feature grid is honest — every row marks Yes/Partial/No based on what each app actually does, including where Quitzilla matches us. The narrative tells you why we made the calls we did. If you'd rather read a third-party review, Quitzilla has plenty; this page is ours.
