The differences you'll notice every day
Both give you a nightly sleep score, a readiness read and a smart alarm from the Apple Watch you already wear. The choice comes down to 2 things: whether you want a sleep specialist you pay for once, or a free all-in-one health app that also covers training and food.
| Day to day | AutoSleep | Bevel |
|---|---|---|
| How sleep is tracked | AutoSleep detects when you fell asleep and woke up from your Watch data. There is nothing to start or stop. | Bevel reads the sleep your Watch, Oura or Garmin already records. It suggests a Sleep Schedule or Sleep Focus for consistent nights. |
| Scores | A sleep rating, Sleep Fuel for quality and efficiency, and a Readiness score for physical and mental stress. | Sleep, Recovery, Strain and Stress scores, rolled into 1 Energy Bank number. |
| Beyond sleep | Overnight vitals: blood oxygen, breathing rate, wrist temperature, HRV and noise. It stays focused on the night. | A strength log with 700+ exercises, food logging from a 6M+ food database, and a habit journal. |
| Without a wearable | Built for Apple Watch. With the Watch off, it logs time in bed and ends the session when you pick up your iPhone. | Works with no wearable for lifting, food and journaling. Sleep and Recovery scores need a device worn overnight. |
| Paying | $9.99 once. No subscriptions and no in-app purchases. | Free for sleep, recovery, strain, nutrition and strength. Pro is $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year and adds the AI coach, health records and biological age. |
| Where it runs | iPhone and Apple Watch only. | iPhone and Apple Watch only. There is no Android app as of October 2026. |
| Privacy label | Data Not Collected, per the developer's App Store label. | Collects contact info, identifiers and usage data linked to you. Health data is listed as not linked to you. |

Questions people ask
Is Bevel better than AutoSleep?
For sleep alone, AutoSleep gives more overnight detail for a single $9.99 payment and collects no data. If you also want recovery, strain, lifting and food tracking in 1 app, Bevel is the better pick, and its core features are free.
Is Bevel free?
Yes. Sleep, recovery, strain, nutrition and strength tracking are free. Bevel Pro, at $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year, adds the Bevel Intelligence AI coach, health records, biological age and training plans.
Do I need an Apple Watch for AutoSleep or Bevel?
AutoSleep is built around the Apple Watch and only logs time in bed without one. Bevel also works with Oura and Garmin, but it needs some wearable worn overnight to give you a Sleep or Recovery score.

No. It costs $9.99 once on the App Store, with every feature included and no in-app purchases.

Our verdicts
AutoSleep

Each morning you get a sleep rating and rings for deep sleep, REM and heart rate, plus blood oxygen, breathing rate and wrist temperature. It costs $9.99 once and collects no data, where Athlytic charges $29.99 a year for its sleep scores.

Pro, at $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year, adds the Bevel Intelligence AI coach, health records, biological age and training plans.
