Updated September 2026
Do or Drink nails the simplest drinking game there is: draw a card, do the dare or drink. The premium bundle is a one-time $9.99 with no subscription and no ads, which is rarer than it should be. So why look for something like it? Three reasons come up again and again. It's iPhone-only in practice – the official Android app disappeared from Google Play in 2024, and the "Do or Drink" listings you'll find there now are unrelated clones. Recent reviews report the premium unlock re-locking after closing the app and no reply from support. And the free deck repeats after a game or two. Here are six apps that cover the same ground, with their real pricing from the US App Store in September 2026.
Cold Ones is our own app and sits at number one; the pros and cons are honest.
Cold Ones
Eight games, both platforms, no ads.
Truth or Dare with Classic and Hot & Spicy modes covers Do or Drink's territory directly, and then there are seven more games – Never Have I Ever, Paranoia, Impostor, Trivia, They're a 10, But…, Party Mode and Roulette – with 3,000+ prompts in four languages. iPhone and Android, no login, works offline, never any ads. Impostor, Trivia, Roulette and Party Mode Classic are free; one optional subscription unlocks the rest.
Pros
- On both iPhone and Android
- No ads, no account, offline
- Eight games instead of one deck
- Genuinely free games with no time limit
Cons
- Optional subscription rather than a one-time price
- Fewer themed decks than Do or Drink
Picolo
The household name – personalised prompts, subscription pricing.
Type in everyone's names and the prompts weave players into every dare. Polished, fast, huge catalog of themed packs, rated 4.7 from about 45,000 ratings, no ads. The trade-off is the model: one mode is free and the rest is subscription-gated (tiers up to $45.99 on the listing), with plenty of reviews about surprise charges. See our Picolo alternatives if that's a deal-breaker.
Pros
- Name-personalised prompts feel targeted
- Big library, 14 languages
- Both platforms
Cons
- Subscription, with weekly-billing complaints
- Only one mode free
TOZ
Fourteen party games in one app.
Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever, Most Likely To, Would You Rather and more, three intensity modes, weekly new cards, 30 languages, both platforms, rated 4.7 on iOS. Premium tiers run $4.99 to $44.99 and recent reviews say the best packs moved behind them.
Pros
- Widest variety on this list
- 30 languages, both platforms
Cons
- Best content behind a subscription
- Weekly pricing complaints
Truth or Dare · Party Games (Chouic)
The top-rated pure Truth or Dare app.
Over 1,000 questions, five intensity levels, couple and group modes, a spin-wheel picker, 12 languages, rated 4.9. No ads mentioned. Subscriptions run weekly or yearly, but one-time unlocks at $3.99–$8.99 exist – take those.
Pros
- Enormous Truth or Dare pool
- One-time unlock available
Cons
- Single game
- Weekly subscription is the default upsell
Most Likely To (DH3 Games)
Cheap pass-the-phone voting.
Everyone votes on who's most likely to do what the card says; the loser drinks. Premium is $2.99–$4.99 one-time (avoid the $2.99 weekly option), rated 4.5. The listing says it contains advertising.
Pros
- Cheap one-time unlock
- Works for any group size
Cons
- Ads in the free version
- One mechanic
Drink Roulette
Spin the wheel, do the challenge.
Add names, spin, obey. Lots of modes with adjustable intensity and free to start. Ads in the free version and weekly-leaning premium pricing keep it at the bottom.
Pros
- Instant fun, no learning curve
- Free to start
Cons
- Ads
- Weekly-leaning premium
Do or Drink vs Cold Ones
- Platforms: Do or Drink – iPhone. Cold Ones – iPhone and Android.
- Price: Do or Drink – $9.99 one-time bundle, decks $4.99. Cold Ones – free games plus one optional subscription.

If you own Do or Drink on iPhone and it works for you, keep it – a one-time price is a good deal. If you're on Android, or want more than one game on the phone, Cold Ones is free to try.
Frequently asked questions
Is Do or Drink available on Android?
Not officially any more. The developer's Android app was removed from Google Play in 2024, and the "Do or Drink" listings there now are unrelated clones from other developers. On Android the closest equivalents are Cold Ones, Picolo and TOZ.
Why does my Do or Drink premium keep locking again?
It is a known complaint in recent App Store reviews: the premium unlock reverts after the app is closed, and support has not been responding. Restoring purchases sometimes helps temporarily. If it keeps happening, an app with a working free tier avoids the problem entirely.
What is the closest app to Do or Drink?
For the same do-the-dare-or-drink loop, Cold Ones Truth or Dare and Picolo are the nearest matches, and both are on iPhone and Android. Cold Ones adds seven other games in the same download; Picolo personalises prompts with the players' names.
Is there a drinking game app with a one-time payment?
Do or Drink sells a one-time premium bundle rather than a subscription, and the Truth or Dare app by Chouic offers one-time unlocks alongside its subscription. Cold Ones takes a different route: four complete games free forever, with one optional subscription for the rest.
