BACtrack View App vs. Free BACtrack App

BACtrack offers two different Apps that work with our bluetooth-enabled breathalyzers, but they serve two very distinct purposes. Read below to understand the key differences between them.

Who It’s For

BACtrack View is designed for people who need an extra layer of verification and tracking to show that they are sober. They need to be able to set testing schedules and have results that are video-verified and easily shared with another party. Common use cases include:

  • Individuals in Recovery
  • Child Custody & Family Law
  • Compliance Monitoring
  • Health Professionals
  • Workplace Management
  • Teen Drivers

The free BACtrack App is designed for people who want to know more about how alcohol affects their body and, ultimately, make better decisions while drinking. It can be used for personal use and/or to test your family and friends to make sure they’re making safe choices. BAC results are stored in the App, but there is no video-verification, no reporting or sharing of results with others. Ideal uses include:

  • Personal Testing
  • Happy Hour
  • Dinner Parties
  • Social Drinking
Compatibility

BACtrack View is compatible with both Apple iOS and Google & Samsung brand Android devices.

The free BACtrack App is compatible with both Apple iOS and Google & Samsung brand Android devices.

Cost

Plans for BACtrack View start at $79.99/mo and go up to $129.99/mo. A BACtrack Mobile smartphone breathalyzer is included for you to use while you are paying for the service. If you stay on the service for more than three months, the breathalyzer is yours to keep, free of charge.

You must purchase a bluetooth-enabled BACtrack breathalyzer to pair with the BACtrack App, but the App itself is free to download.

Limitations

The free BACtrack App does not have video verification, reporting of test results or sharing capabilities. It is not designed for sobriety monitoring as it does not have a way to verify the identity of the person who is taking the tests. If you need these things, you should use BACtrack View.

BACtrack View App

BACtrack View is an app-based sobriety monitoring service, designed to help customers stay accountable and regain trust with their loved ones by allowing them to share video-verified results of their BAC tests directly from their smartphone. Monitors on the service can set testing schedules for the Tester and access testing history directly from the App. The App keeps track of all previous test results and can be exported into a PDF file that can be emailed and shared with others. Users pay a monthly fee to access this App.

Free BACtrack App

The free BACtrack App pairs with a bluetooth-enabled breathalyzer by BACtrack, for personal use. With the free BACtrack App, you can Guess Your BAC, track your results over time, and can even call an Uber directly from the App if you’ve had too much. It also features BACtrack’s ZeroLine® technology, which tells you when your BAC will return to 0.00%.
