is there a free no contact app?

Short answer: almost all of them are free to download, and most are paywalled at the moment you need them. NO CONTACT CLUB is free with no account, no email and no card, and the parts that keep someone safe — your pod, the shared streak, talk-me-down — stay free by rule. The free browser counter on this site needs no download at all.

what each one actually costs

Taken from store listings. Treat every number as a price someone was shown rather than the price: several of these apps run visible A/B tests, so the annual figure genuinely differs between two people opening the same listing on the same day.

the difference that is not about price

Every app above is a solo tracker with an AI coach attached. That is a real product and some people prefer it. It is also a different thing from what happens here, and the distinction matters most on the night it matters at all:

Who answers at 2am?
An AI coach. Reviewers keep saying it's worse than free ChatGPT.
People. Or the app tells you plainly that nobody came. It never fakes a reply.
What happens when you slip?
Back to day one. The most-cited complaint in the category.
Nothing resets. A wobble, not a reset. Your 30 days still happened.
Where do your private notes live?
On their servers, covered by a privacy policy.
Only your phone. There is no column for them, and the API rejects a note field.
Can a stranger message you?
Open feeds and DMs, in most of them.
No. Not a policy — there is no table a stranger DM could exist in.
Is your ex named anywhere?
“Day 14 without them.” The counter points at the person.
Never. It counts days of choosing you. The ex is not an entity here.
What does safety cost?
Paywalls, often after you have entered everything.
Nothing, ever. Pod, streak and talk-me-down are free by rule.

why you might want a different one

Genuinely: this is iOS only, it is new, and the pods are small on purpose. That means we cannot promise a human is awake at 3am — what we promise is that the app will tell you the truth about whether anyone came, instead of generating a reply that reads like a person. If an always-instant answer matters more to you than a real one, an AI coach is the honest recommendation and several of them are good at it.

And if you do not want to install anything at all, the free browser counter works right now, keeps nothing on a server, and the timeline of what each stage feels like is free to read either way.

the questions people actually ask

Is there a completely free no contact app?

Free to download, yes — nearly all of them. Free at the moment you actually need it, far fewer: the common pattern is a free counter with the support features behind a subscription, and several apps run wide price tests so two people see different annual prices for the same thing. NO CONTACT CLUB is free with no login wall and no card, and the safety features are free by rule rather than by current pricing.

What does “free by rule” mean?

That the pod, the shared streak and talk-me-down do not go behind a paywall, ever. If anything is ever charged for, it will not be the parts that keep someone safe at 2am. That is a commitment about the future, which is worth exactly what our track record makes it worth — it has been true since launch and we would rather write it down where you can hold us to it.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no login wall, no email capture and no password. If you only want a counter and nothing else, the free browser counter on this site needs no download at all.

Why should I not use this one?

Three honest reasons. It is iOS only. It is new and small, so we cannot promise somebody is awake when you hit the button — the app tells you plainly when nobody came rather than faking a reply. And if you want an AI coach that always answers instantly, we deliberately do not have one, and several competitors do it well.

no numbers we cannot show you

You will notice no download count and no success rate on this page. The category is full of both and we have never been able to trace one to anything. Ours would be small and the honest version is: very few people, recently launched, pods of three to five so you would be noticed if you went quiet.

if it's heavier than a breakup

If you're thinking about hurting yourself, please don't sit with it alone — call or text 988(US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or your local emergency number. We're peer support, not a crisis service, and this is the one thing we'd never want you to use us for.

the hard part isn't the counting.

It's 2am, and a number can't answer you. NO CONTACT CLUB puts 3–5 real people at your exact stage on the other end of one shared streak — so when the urge hits, you text them instead of your ex.
