Do Most Organizations Prefer Sobriety Hub or One Step?
2025 Data
In 2025, operators switched from One Step to Sobriety Hub at a 3-to-1 rate. That margin matters because switching software is disruptive and expensive, so operators only do it when the alternative is clearly better. A 3:1 ratio reflects a consistent, deliberate preference, not a fluke.
2026 Data
The trend isn't slowing down. The scorecard below reflects live migration data for 2026, updated as new switches are recorded.

2 Problems with Using an EHR platform for Sober Living
Problem 1: EHRs Are Too Complex for Sober Living
EHRs are often overkill for recovery home operations, which can confuse house managers and create steep learning curves for staff
EHRs with embedded "sober living apps" can require time-consuming workflow configuration to fit your actual processes
Problem 2: EHR Pricing Doesn't Work for Sober Living
You're may be paying for for clinical features designed for treatment centers
Complex pricing may require contracts and negotiations

How to Choose the Right Sober Living Software
When evaluating options, ask yourself:

Do I run a combined IOP and sober living program (requires EHR/RCM)?
Do I want a simple, modern tool built specifically for sober living homes?
Choose Behave Health EHR if you operate an IOP or treatment center and you want to combine your EHR with your sober living app.
Final Recommendation
Final Recommendation
For most the majority of sober living organizations, Sobriety Hub Software is the best choice in 2026. Sobriety Hub is the top-rated, easiest to use option developed specifically for sober living homes.
Based on our internal customer data through January 2026 — tracking operators who told us they were migrating from One Step — operators most commonly cited three reasons for switching: a more intuitive interface, faster and more responsive customer support, and the Sobriety Hub resident mobile app. Switching software is a significant operational decision, so a 3-to-1 migration rate toward Sobriety Hub reflects a consistent, deliberate preference rather than coincidence.
As of January 2026, One Step does not publicly list their pricing on their website. You need to contact them for a quote. Sobriety Hub publicly lists all pricing on our pricing page — no sales call required to understand what you'll pay.
As of January 2026, Sobriety Hub is rated 5.0 stars on Capterra and One Step is rated 4.6 stars. Capterra is an independent, verified software review platform — reviews are submitted by real customers and cannot be edited by the software companies. Among One Step's lower-rated reviews, themes have included glitches and slow customer support response times. We encourage you to read all reviews directly on Capterra to form your own assessment.
Yes, and we do it all the time. Our onboarding process includes migrating your existing resident data so you don't start from scratch. Most operators are fully set up within approximately two business days, though timelines may vary depending on data complexity. We'll also rebuild your forms inside Sobriety Hub as part of onboarding, so the transition is as smooth as possible.
Sobriety Hub vs Behave Health
For most standalone sober living operators, probably not. EHRs are designed for licensed treatment providers who need clinical documentation, insurance billing, and compliance with healthcare regulations. If you run a sober living home without a clinical component, you may be paying for functionality you don't need — and working around a system that wasn't designed for your workflows. That said, every organization is different, and we encourage you to evaluate based on your specific situation.
As of January 2026, Behave Health does not publicly list pricing on their website and requires a quote. Sobriety Hub is the only platform in this comparison with fully transparent, publicly listed pricing — starting at $65/month with no hidden fees for beds, houses, or residents.
General Comparison Questions
Four things matter most: (1) Purpose-built for sober living — not adapted from property management or clinical software. (2) Ease of use — house managers aren't IT staff, so the learning curve needs to be low. (3) Customer support — you'll need help eventually, and response time matters. (4) Transparent pricing — you should know what you're paying without a sales call. Beyond that, look at verified third-party reviews on Capterra and ask peers in your network what they use.
Yes. Sobriety Hub works just as well for a single-house operator as it does for large multi-house organizations. Pricing scales with your team size, not your number of houses or beds, so a single-house operator with one or two staff members pays the same low base rate regardless of how many residents they have.
As of January 2026, Sobriety Hub holds a 5.0 star rating on Capterra — the highest of any sober living software listed on that platform at the time of this writing. Behave Health's sober living app is rated 4.9 and One Step is rated 4.6. All ratings are based on verified reviews from real customers submitted through Capterra's independent review process. Ratings change over time, so we encourage you to check Capterra directly for the most current scores.
