What Soberlink, Inc. does

Soberlink, Inc. (operating as Soberlink Healthcare LLC) is a US-based provider of remote alcohol monitoring hardware and subscription services, headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, and operating for over 15 years. The company builds professional-grade fuel cell breathalyzer devices with integrated facial recognition, tamper-detection sensors, and either Bluetooth pairing (Soberlink 7.0) or embedded LTE cellular connectivity (Soberlink Cellular 2) for transmitting test results to its cloud platform. The companion mobile app, MySoberlink customer portal, and Sober-Sky provider portal complete the ecosystem, and an AI-powered Advanced Reporting module generates court-admissible PDF and calendar-format reports. Soberlink serves three primary markets: family law (custody and parenting-time monitoring under Level 1 and Level 2 programs), addiction recovery (the Share Program, anchored by treatment centers such as Caron, Bradford Health, and Cirque Lodge), and workplace compliance for safety-sensitive and licensed-professional roles. The company monetizes through a combination of device rental or purchase (e.g., $19-$29/month rental for 7.0) and recurring monthly monitoring subscriptions ranging from $135 to $265 depending on tier and program, with additional professional services such as calibration, reactivation, and expert testimony. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via the company website, supplemented by professional referrals from family law attorneys, mediators, treatment providers, and an enterprise sales motion for high-volume accounts. Soberlink holds HIPAA, SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, and SOC 3 certifications, and is led by founder and CEO Brad Keays.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• PEth/Phosphatidylethanol Lab Testing Providers: Direct biomarker (PEth) blood tests and other alternative alcohol tests are increasingly used in family law and recovery monitoring as a complement or substitute for breath-based monitoring. These testing modalities compete for the same sobriety-verification budget in custody, recovery, and workplace contexts.
• QuanTEM Substance Abuse Testing: QuanTEM provides workplace and clinical substance abuse testing services, including lab-based alcohol and drug screening. While a different modality, it is adjacent to Soberlink's workplace compliance segment as a competing employer-mandated testing channel.

Emerging players

• Intox Box / KHN Solutions: KHN Solutions produces intoxBox, a court-ordered portable alcohol monitoring device with cellular transmission. As an emerging player, it is similar in form-factor and use-case to Soberlink's Cellular 2, competing for individual court-mandated monitoring contracts.

Direct peers

• Lifeloc Technologies: Lifeloc manufactures professional-grade fuel-cell breath alcohol testers used by law enforcement, workplace, and treatment programs. Its professional breathalyzers compete head-on with Soberlink's fuel-cell sensor technology for accuracy and court-defensible BAC readings.
• Smart Start: Smart Start provides ignition interlock and alcohol monitoring services nationally, with a heavy court and state contract footprint. It directly overlaps Soberlink on court-mandated monitoring budgets and shares the customer base of state-monitored DUI offenders.
• BACtrack: BACtrack is a leading consumer and professional breathalyzer brand that has expanded into remote monitoring and law-enforcement-grade devices. Like Soberlink, it sells Bluetooth-enabled breathalyzers used for personal/professional alcohol accountability and competes in adjacent drinking-and-driving and personal monitoring use cases.
• SCRAM Systems (Alcohol Monitoring Systems): SCRAM Systems is the dominant provider of court-ordered continuous alcohol monitoring, best known for the SCRAM CAM ankle bracelet. It directly competes with Soberlink's remote breath-based monitoring product in the same family law and addiction recovery customer segments, and is the most-frequently compared alternative in court-admissible alcohol monitoring.
• Intoxalock: Intoxalock is one of the largest ignition interlock device providers in the US and a major player in court-mandated alcohol monitoring. While its primary product (in-vehicle interlocks) differs from Soberlink's portable breath unit, it competes for the same court and state-procurement budget allocations.

Broad incumbents

• Drägerwerk (Dräger): Dräger is a global medical and safety technology incumbent whose Alcotest product line is the long-standing standard for evidential breath testing in law enforcement. Soberlink's professional-grade device sits in the same fuel-cell evidential-grade category and competes for institutional procurement budgets.

Regional players

• Monitech: Monitech is a leading ignition interlock and alcohol monitoring provider primarily serving the southeastern US. It overlaps with Soberlink on court-mandated alcohol monitoring but operates with strong regional concentration rather than national reach.
