Verdict
AutoSleep tracks sleep automatically from an Apple Watch and gives detailed nightly data without a subscription. It's a one-time purchase, which reviewers repeatedly call out as a relief compared to competitors, though a few complain accuracy has slipped and updates have slowed.
Best for
Apple Watch owners who want years of detailed sleep data without paying a recurring fee and who don't mind a dense, data-heavy interface.
Dealbreaker
A handful of reviewers report tracking accuracy getting worse and updates slowing to under once a year, so someone who wants a rapidly evolving app should look elsewhere.
The facts.

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★ (350,208) · Updated Oct 23, 2026
Verdict. ShutEye tracks sleep and snoring, but the reviews are dominated by complaints about surprise subscription charges and trials that convert without clear warning, plus a steady stream of crash and stopped-tracking reports.
Best for. Someone curious about casual sleep and snore tracking who will read the trial terms carefully and cancel before it renews.
Dealbreaker. Many reviewers report being charged for a subscription or annual plan without clear consent or a trial-end reminder, and getting no refund.
Free · 4.7★ (390,837) · Updated Oct 21, 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★ (172,609) · 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.
