Top 3 Best Sleep Tracking Apps in 2024 - Pillow vs Sleep Cycle vs AutoSleep (Test & Review)

[@TheFoocookie]

I dislike that most useful apps these days make you pay monthly. Netflix and Spotify keep serving new content, so for things like these it makes sense. But a monthly subscription for a glorified alarm clock? Never.

[@ArthurBrassart]

Yeah, the subscription model is really bad. I don't like it too! I paid a yearly fee. But still, I don't own the app. I own the right to use it for 1 year 😀Unfortunately, that's how it works today 🤐

[@ArthurBrassart]

@@justnaturalcake1 Extra statistics and smart alarm feature - it will wake you up at the lightest sleep stage 😀 But yeah, I think the old school alarm clock can do the job as well 😁

[@justnaturalcake1]

@@ArthurBrassart Is AutoSleep still worth using? It hasn't been updated in 5 months and the design looks not great. I tried it the first night and it's not accurate at all, maybe I'll need to try more nights?

[@TomboySuccubus]

For real I’d be ok with paying a one time fee but monthly? Get out of here 😂

[@CreatingAffluence]

It’s how companies get bigger valuations due their guarantee of income the following month / year etc. If they didn’t they would struggle to achieve funding

[@meinkanta]

I think AutoSleep’s integration of the Apple sleep stages makes it the best

[@ArthurBrassart]

i like app that don't use the subscription base model - like AutoSleep 😀

[@LUKAS-bb4jc]

@@ArthurBrassart so data will not duplicate ? And it uses the latest HealthKit so ?

[@Nogitsune_Yako]

Except that my iPhone shows that time asleep is always higher than time in bed. Wtf, iPhone thinks that during the night I sleep on the floor as well?

[@rockyevans1584]

​@@Nogitsune_Yakoyou probably just sleep faster than time by a bit

[@brandall101]

It does? I just tried it for the first time and last nite I have 42% deep sleep where the Apple health kit stages show 11%? Seems it's doing its own thing trying to interpret the data.

[@Thomasromer2002]

Good video. I use AutoSleep, but if pillow had a one time purchase I would go for that, because I don’t really like autosleep’s design.

[@ArthurBrassart]

Thanks for your comment :) Yeah, a few years ago Pillow had a 1 time purchase model. Now its a subscription system as everyone on the market. Me too i am not a big fan of AutoSleep's Design. It looks a bit weird :D I bought Pillow for 1 year with 50% off - sometime you can find great deals in these applications.

[@alexjenkins8026]

reading off a script point by point doesn't effectively communicate the difference. I actually have no idea if AutoSleep offers snoring/sound tracking/playback since you completely skipped this feature for this app but didn't for the others... Does that mean it doesn't have it? A simple approach for next time is to have a table with features and apps so they can be compared, expose them 1 by 1 to keep the user engaged and focused (showing the full table at the end), highlight the differences between them (and maybe add your personal rating to for that feature on that given app).

[@ArthurBrassart]

hi, thanks for your comment :) Good critics! PS. AutoSleep doest not have the feature to record sounds.

[@sebastianpostigo4025]

Oye, por primera vez en muchísimo tiempo me encontré un VERDADERA crítica constructiva, no sólo expresaste una disconformidad de manera educada sino que hiciste una propuesta de valor, señor Usted es un verdadero caballero, lo felicito por su educación, alegra encontrar gente así

[@lowellwalters]

respectfuly, the most important thing is accuracy. If you can test that, it would make a great video. price and the features are irrelevant if it's inaccurate. I use autosleep bc it came with the phone and I like the alarm, but there are times it classifies me as "asleep" when I'm reading a book, and there are times that I'm asleep for over 30 min that are definitely missed. There is a correction feature that is nice, but the real question is why should we pay anything for apps that give us bad data?

[@BaveRAWWR]

Did you found one that works? I’m about to give Pillow a try.

[@gabrielledavis6382]

Does this still work if my phone is on a wireless charger on the nightstand next to pillow? Or does it physically have to be on the mattress?

[@JamesDory]

Hello, which of them is best for snoring control via apple watch? Thx you.

[@ArthurBrassart]

For snoring detection Pillow and Sleep Cycle are both quite good. Try them out (free trial)

[@bvenkateshx]

How is accuracy comparison of this vs an Oura ring?

[@protectork9831]

Best is galaxy watch. It records me snoring blood oxygen which my ultra doesn’t . Stages are accurate and same on both

[@MarcoLuisiASMR]

Hello! I have a question, does the Autosleep app have the recording night sessions? To hear all the snoring and talking in the sleep?

[@ArthurBrassart]

Hi, no you cannot record sounds. But you can see sound level min-max. Sleep Cycle and Pillow allow you to record sounds.

[@panzer948]

I don't understand, do these have to work with Apple Watch. What if I have a Garmin watch? Which I understand does a lot of this already and connects to their app. Be nice if content creators don't automatically assume everyone has Apple, as after all, Apple is not the end all be all (but I know Apple users believe otherwise lol).

[@eatsmartandhealthy]

The Sleepi app is the best for me. Could you make a review of it ?

[@opalthebest]

Could someone show me where the auto tracking feature is on pillow. I couldn’t find it anywhere

[@thomasje64]

If you open pillow on you iPhone, you have 5 buttons at the bottom. Choose the middle one. Then in the top right corner, select settings. Scroll all the way down and then a little back up again. There is “about” at the bottom. “Support” above that. “Data&service” above that, “pillow premium” above that and then above “pillow premium” there is “automatic detection”

[@--_16]

For the app alarm to work, you need to turn off the traditional cell phone?

[@ArthurBrassart]

Hi, no you don’t have to turn off the traditional cell phone 🙌

[@z_kingmaster_z6635]

Dose it take a lot og battery

[@ArthurBrassart]

Usually you should keep your iPhone on the charger to avoid the battery drain 😀

[@xxChemist]

Best app for sleep without watch? How does it know? How does it track your sleep off an app I have no idea? Without a watch. It tracks your movement? I'm confused

[@ArthurBrassart]

The best app for sleep without a watch is Sleep Cycle. It uses a microphone to detect movements and by using a special algorithm it can establish your sleep stages and sleep quality.

[@ivanzq21]

I wanna know is auto-sleep let you know if you are snoring or not. thanks

[@ArthurBrassart]

Hi with auto sleep you can check a noise graphic with all ambient noises - so technically you can determine whether you were snoring or not. But it is not recording audio. With Sleep Cycle and Pillow, you can listen to an audio recording 😀

[@ivanzq21]

@@ArthurBrassart yes, thanks for the reply; I tested, just with auto sleep its not enough, I now another app its called Snore its free, it works perfectly well, it records the snoring XD

[@ArthurBrassart]

@@ivanzq21 Nice nice :)

[@renflarj]

@@ArthurBrassart therefore auto-sleep would not be an accurate option to monitor snoring? Once it would capture not only my snore but also other sounds such as my wife’s snore, wind outside, a fan, tv if forgotten as on, etc

[@FrancescaMirime95]

I think Autosleep it's good for me

[@ArthurBrassart]

Merci pour info :)

[@djextrodinare9495]

Good Video! From what you’ve said I personally like Auto Sleep, but it doesn’t have everything like Pillows!

[@ThunderFarter]

Is there a sleep cycle alternative that is free?

[@ArthurBrassart]

Hi, there are a lot of free sleep trackers on the App Store. But if you want to have some premium or more advanced features or stats you have to pay :(

[@dgpianomusic]

Just buy app bro. What’s more important that investing money into your health?

Sir please make video and show all watch faces in apple watch

This video is about sleeps apps not the hundreds of watch faces there are. Get lost, lindu.

[@crankrespect]

Can it record noises from another room?

[@ArthurBrassart]

Hi, sorry for the late answer. If noises are very loud it can capture them as well. You have to test it :)

paying a subscription is absolutley bullshit for any app really!! Autosleep for the win and it's not even close!! I will never pay a sub fee for a sleep app or a god dam weather app...LOL

Have you tried sleep ++ it free with 99cents to get rid of the ads it works great
