Verdict
AutoSleep leans on Apple Watch data with a one-time purchase instead of a subscription, and long-time users say it's stayed accurate and useful for years without recurring fees.
Best for
An Apple Watch owner who wants detailed sleep stats without signing up for another monthly subscription.
Dealbreaker
A few users report it's gone stretches of many months without updates and started behaving unreliably, and importing historical data requires manually long-pressing every single day rather than a bulk export.
The facts.
Pulled from the App Store, not written by hand.

Where we recommend it
The best sleep tracking apps ›Sleep trackers that are well rated and still maintained, with what each one gets wrong.
Alternatives with the same rule.
Every app here is rated 4.2 or better, has been updated in the last eighteen months, and has no significant number of reviewers reporting it broken. Price is not the rule on this list — some are free, some are not. Also with a catch.
Free · 4.8★ (349,572) · Updated Sep 3, 2026
Verdict. ShutEye has a huge rating base but its own reviewers describe aggressive subscription tactics: surprise charges after free trials, no end-of-trial reminders, and refund refusals. On top of that, reliability complaints (crashes, tracking that silently stops working) show up often enough to matter.
Best for. Someone who is comfortable setting a calendar reminder to cancel a trial themselves and mainly wants snoring/audio tracking rather than guaranteed nightly accuracy.
Dealbreaker. Multiple reviewers report being charged right after starting a 'free' trial with no reminder beforehand, and getting refused refunds when they tried to dispute it — read the trial terms carefully before tapping start.
Free · 4.7★ (390,722) · Updated Aug 31, 2026
Verdict. BetterSleep has a large user base and a high rating, but the recent review pattern is dominated by complaints about content being locked behind a subscription that used to be free, including features people already paid for once.
Best for. Someone who wants a broad library of sleep sounds and stories and is fine paying an ongoing subscription to keep using them.
Dealbreaker. Reviewers report that sounds and features they used to access for free (or via a one-time payment) have been moved behind a paywall, and several say the free trial itself doesn't work as promised.
Free · 4.5★ (172,390) · Updated Aug 26, 2026
Verdict. This app only works if you already own a Sleep Number smart bed, and it functions mainly as a remote control and tracker for that hardware. Reviewers split sharply between people who like the effortless tracking and people angry about privacy overreach, laggy controls, and expensive customer support experiences.
Best for. Someone who has already bought a Sleep Number smart bed and wants an app to adjust settings and passively log sleep data without extra effort.
Dealbreaker. It requires a Sleep Number smart bed to work at all, and multiple reviewers describe forced data sharing, laggy or freezing controls when adjusting the bed, and costly, unhelpful customer service when something goes wrong.
