The best sleep tracking apps.

AutoSleep: Watch Sleep Tracker is the top pick, best for an Apple Watch owner who wants detailed sleep stats without another monthly subscription. It's a one-time purchase, and long-time users say it has stayed accurate for years. Everything else on this list runs on subscriptions with heavy trial-billing complaints, so if you don't own an Apple Watch, weigh those trade-offs carefully before choosing between ShutEye, BetterSleep, or RISE.

The filter. 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.
Top pick

ShutEye®: Sleep Tracker, Sound

Enerjoy Pte. Ltd.
View on the App Store ›
Free4.8★ (349,572)Updated Sep 3, 2026unverified
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.
The catch
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.

BetterSleep: Relax and Sleep

Ipnos Software Inc.
View on the App Store ›
Free4.7★ (390,722)Updated Aug 31, 2026unverified
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.
The catch
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.

Sleep Number

Sleep Number Corporation
View on the App Store ›
Free4.5★ (172,390)Updated Aug 26, 2026unverified
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.
The catch
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.

RISE: Sleep Tracker

Rise Science Inc
View on the App Store ›
Free4.7★ (68,570)Updated Sep 11, 2026unverified
Verdict
RISE tracks sleep with a clean, easy-to-use interface, but its free trial and subscription billing draw the most complaints in its reviews, with many users reporting being charged after canceling or without clear warning.
Best for
Someone who wants a polished sleep-coaching app and is willing to set a calendar reminder to cancel before the trial ends, or who doesn't mind escalating to customer support if billing goes wrong.
The catch
A large share of reviews describe being billed after cancelling or without a clear end-of-trial notice, and getting it fixed often means emailing support rather than cancelling cleanly in-app.

AutoSleep: Watch Sleep Tracker

Tantsissa
View on the App Store ›
$8.99 once4.7★ (61,660)Updated Nov 29, 2025
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.
The catch
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.

Who should skip this entirely.

If you don't wear anything to bed and refuse to buy a wearable, skip this whole category — phone-based motion and sound tracking is a rough proxy for real sleep stages and won't give you data worth trusting. If you already own a Sleep Number bed, only that app's tracking matters, and you should judge it on the hardware experience, not against these others. And if you just want to fall asleep faster, a plain white-noise or meditation app will do the job without any of the subscription traps described here.

Questions.

Do I need an Apple Watch or other wearable for accurate tracking?For the most reliable data, yes. AutoSleep depends entirely on Apple Watch sensors, while phone-only apps like ShutEye and BetterSleep rely on motion and sound, which is less precise. Sleep Number's app only works with its own smart bed hardware.
Which of these apps won't try to bill me unexpectedly?AutoSleep is the one built around a one-time purchase rather than a recurring subscription. ShutEye, BetterSleep, and RISE all have review patterns describing surprise charges after free trials or content moved behind paywalls, so read trial terms closely before starting one.
Is Sleep Number's app worth it if I don't own their bed?No. It functions as a remote control and tracker specifically for Sleep Number's smart bed hardware and won't do anything useful without one. Reviewers who own the bed are split between liking the passive tracking and disliking privacy overreach and laggy controls.
Can I trust the star ratings on these apps?A high rating doesn't rule out serious billing complaints — ShutEye and BetterSleep both have large, high ratings alongside frequent subscription-related grievances in recent reviews. Look at what reviewers say happened after the free trial ended, not just the overall score.
