ASICS Runkeeper
Runkeeper suits people who want phone-based logging, a web history and many named wearable connections. Its free entry level handles the basic record, while Go targets runners seeking structured plans, audio coaching, deeper reports or Live Tracking. Apple Watch support is listed for iPhone users with Series 3 or newer, and Android does not provide coaching or target pace. The discontinued developer API is relevant if outside software needs to read or write Runkeeper data.
- Phone GPS captures distance, duration, pace or speed, calories and route maps.
- Runkeeper names Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Coros, Suunto, Polar and Amazfit as supported wearables.
- Free Basic plan is available.
Sleep as Android
Sleep as Android fits Android users who want sleep tracking tied closely to alarm behavior. Its range of sensing methods, wearable support, sleep metrics, and difficult-to-ignore dismissal tasks gives it a broad nightly toolkit. The free version remains usable, but tracking becomes less frequent after the trial and ads appear. Check your watch, phone version, permissions, and preferred integrations before paying. Buyers should also note the differing seven-day and 14-day trial descriptions and the several paid routes with unlisted prices.
- Uses phone, wearable, mattress accelerometer, or contactless sonar tracking.
- Supports Pixel Watch, Wear OS, Garmin, Fitbit, Polar, and other named wearables.
- Offers smart alarms, sleep metrics, snoring records, and CAPTCHA dismissal tasks.
Round by round
Published pricing
Runkeeper publishes a free Basic plan, Runkeeper Go at $39.99 a year, and a paid price from $11.99 per month. Sleep as Android also describes a 14-day unrestricted trial in its licensing information, while its pricing note says a 7-day trial. Runkeeper wins because its recurring paid prices are stated clearly, while Sleep as Android combines one known lifetime price with several undisclosed prices and differing trial figures.

Free access
Both products have a free option. Runkeeper’s Basic plan includes activity tracking and logging, basic stats, progress insights, workout comparisons, prescribed workouts, premium training plans, weather insights and Live Tracking. Sleep as Android’s free plan provides all features during its trial, then sleep tracking every other day, unlimited alarms, lullabies, CAPTCHA tasks and bedtime notifications, with ads after the trial. Runkeeper’s free plan is continuous for its listed functions, while Sleep as Android offers broad trial access before restrictions. The facts do not establish one as more useful overall because the apps serve different purposes.
Core features
Runkeeper records distance, duration, pace or speed, calories and route maps with phone GPS. It supports running, walking, biking, hiking, indoor activities and manual entry, plus guided workouts, routes, training plans, reports and Live Tracking. Sleep as Android tracks sleep with phone or wearable sensors, mattress accelerometers and contactless sonar. It offers smart alarms, sleep phases, deficit and regularity metrics, snoring and sleep-talk recording, lullabies, CAPTCHA dismissal tasks and anti-snoring functions. Each has a deeper feature set for its own job, so the facts do not support an overall winner.
Integrations
Runkeeper connects with Apple Health, Google Health/Fitbit, Health Connect and MyFitnessPal, and lists Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Coros, Suunto, Polar and Amazfit support. Its iOS listing also names Apple Music and Spotify. Sleep as Android lists Google Fit, Health Connect, Samsung Health, Google Calendar, Google Assistant, Spotify, Philips Hue, IKEA smart lights, IFTTT, MQTT, Tasker, Automate, webhooks and many watches and bands, including Pixel Watch, Galaxy, Wear OS, Garmin, Polar, Fitbit, Mi Band, Amazfit, Zepp and PineTime. Sleep as Android wins on the broader stated range of health, wearable, smart-home and lifestyle connections.

Platform coverage
Runkeeper is available on Android, iOS and the web. Its Apple listing identifies iPhone and Apple Watch support, and its system information lists iOS and Android availability. Sleep as Android is an Android app; its listed platforms are Android, API and web, and AppBrain says it requires Android 7.0 or newer. Both provide web-related access, but Runkeeper covers both major mobile platforms while Sleep as Android is Android-only for mobile use. Runkeeper wins for people choosing between phones or using iOS.

Support and documentation
Runkeeper maintains a searchable Help Center for accounts, billing, devices, imports, exports and troubleshooting, and lists [email protected]. Sleep as Android lets users contact support or report a bug from the app’s Support menu or Settings help. Its official documentation covers setup, permissions, alarms, sleep metrics, wearables, services, troubleshooting, APIs and release notes. Runkeeper offers a clearly listed email route and broad help topics, while Sleep as Android combines in-app support with deeper technical documentation. Sleep as Android wins because the stated documentation covers more product and developer areas.

Privacy controls
Runkeeper provides settings for who can view activities and maps, explains location and other permissions, and says it uses security measures to protect information. It does not identify a compliance certification in the stated material. Sleep as Android allows opt-out of anonymous analytics, says those analytics collect no personally identifiable information, and offers coarse location of about five kilometres rather than an exact address. Its documentation also describes GDPR and CCPA advertising-consent controls, Android Scoped Storage and local backups. Sleep as Android wins because its stated controls and compliance-related documentation are more specific.

Developer access
Runkeeper’s Health Graph API was discontinued in a 2022 integration notice. The former developer documentation URL redirected to the home page, and new API registrations were no longer accepted except for selected partners. Sleep as Android documents Intent, Content Provider, Wearable, CAPTCHA, CSV and SleepCloud Storage APIs. Its Intent API broadcasts sleep events and accepts tracking and alarm actions; the Content Provider supports reading sleep records and alarm operations with permission; SleepCloud uses OAuth2 for sleep records. Sleep as Android wins because it documents multiple current access paths, while Runkeeper’s stated public API access is discontinued or restricted.
