The short answer
Switch to CheersCount if you want an estimated curve that changes with what you ate, a personal elimination rate from your own breathalyzer readings, the same log on Android and in any browser (iPhone included), or shared evenings with friends. Stay with AlcoDroid if you want a home-screen widget, a one-time purchase instead of a subscription, and long-range trends broken down by drink and strength.
AlcoDroid and CheersCount, point by point
| AlcoDroid and CheersCount, point by point | AlcoDroid | CheersCount |
|---|---|---|
| Runs on | Android | Any browser, including Safari on iPhone; Android app |
| Blood alcohol | Estimated from the drinks you log and your settings, on a chart and a home-screen widget | Estimated with a pharmacokinetic model, drawn as a curve with a ±25% band |
| Food | Not mentioned in its listing | Logged meals and caloric drinks slow absorption and lower the estimated peak |
| Your own breathalyzer | Not mentioned in its listing | Two readings an hour apart on the way down fit your own elimination rate |
| Diary and trends | Days to years, broken down by drink or strength, against a limit you set | Every night as a session, monthly insights, goals you set, a monthly and yearly Wrap |
| With friends | Not mentioned in its listing | Hangouts: shared evenings, rounds for the table, friends who don't use the app (needs an account) |
| Your data | Backup and restore; log and statistics exported as text files | Servers in Germany, sync with an account, JSON and CSV export |
| Widget | Yes, a BAC widget | No |
| Price | Free with ads; a one-time purchase removes them | Free tier; Pro from $2.99 a month, 30-day trial |

When AlcoDroid is still the better pick
You may not need to switch at all. I'd stay with AlcoDroid if:
- You don't want an account or a server copy of your log. AlcoDroid's listing mentions neither; CheersCount keeps your log on its servers.
- You use the home-screen widget. CheersCount has none.
- You'd rather pay once to remove ads than have a subscription. CheersCount's Pro is a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase, and its free tier has no ads.
- You mostly read weeks and months of totals, broken down by drink and strength, more than single evenings.
- You have years of history in it. CheersCount can't import AlcoDroid's files.
What changes if you switch
- You can start without an account and sign in later with Google or a 6-digit email code. Friends, hangouts and sync across devices need an account.
- The curve needs your height, weight and sex. You can set a driving limit for a warning when the estimate is above it, or switch on "I don't drive".
- Your history starts fresh: CheersCount imports only its own JSON backups. AlcoDroid's text export still opens in a spreadsheet.
- Logging, the estimated numbers, the time until zero, every finished night's curve, goals (except spending goals), hangouts and export are free. Pro adds the live curve of a night that's still running, unlimited drink templates (Free keeps five active), expenses, community chat and posting stories. New profiles get a 30-day trial, and nothing is charged when it ends.
- Crash reports and anonymous usage statistics are on by default and can be switched off in Settings. There are no ads and no data is sold.

Questions
Is there an AlcoDroid for iPhone?
AlcoDroid is on Google Play, and its listing doesn't mention an iPhone version. CheersCount runs on iPhone as a web app in Safari that you can add to the home screen, and on Android as an app from Google Play.
Can I move my AlcoDroid history to CheersCount?
No. CheersCount imports only its own JSON backups, so your log starts fresh. AlcoDroid's text export stays readable in a spreadsheet.
Does CheersCount account for food?
Yes. A logged meal slows absorption and lowers the estimated peak, depending on its size and when you ate, and a drink with calories counts too. It's still an estimate: people differ by roughly 20-30% from any model, and no app can tell you whether you're fit to drive.
Try the curve first
The free calculator runs the same model as the app, with no sign-up. The app keeps every night and starts with a 30-day Pro trial.
