Where it sits in the data

Sober Tracker's $5.5K in the last 30 days is higher than 90% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Health & Fitness” category (505 projects) it is higher than 93% (category median $96). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view is that a version of this product would need a clear buyer: people tracking alcohol sobriety, other sobriety journeys, or habit changes. Distribution would have to come through app-store discovery, comparisons of sobriety apps, and related product surfaces.

The harder parts are supporting sensitive recovery use, maintaining privacy, and delivering reliable offline functionality. You would also face competition in the app market and need to decide how to handle premium features and ongoing support without weakening the private product promise.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Sober Tracker shows a product shape built around private mobile tracking, a free entry point, and optional premium tools. The buyer is introduced through app-store availability, sobriety-app comparisons, and a related quitting-smoking product.
