The short answer
Use Bevel if you want one app for everything today: recovery, sleep and strain, a smart alarm, Strength Builder with Muscle Freshness, food logging, an AI coach in Pro, and integrations with Garmin, Oura and Google Health. It's on the App Store now.
Use Auralo if you want fewer numbers and a clearer answer: a verdict for the day, one line on why, how sure it is, and a plan that ticks itself off. No account and nothing uploaded. Auralo+ is $19.99 a year, against $99.99 for Bevel Pro.

Switching from Bevel
- Allow Apple Health access in Auralo. Your Watch's heart, sleep and workout history is there already, whichever app you used.
- Strength history: Bevel keeps Strength Builder sessions in its own app, and there's no export to Auralo. If you also log in Hevy or Strong, Auralo's import Coming in the next beta brings that across.
- Delete your Bevel account from Bevel's settings if you're leaving, since Bevel stores your name and email.
Questions
Is Auralo cheaper than Bevel?
Both have a free version. Bevel Pro is $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year. Auralo+ is $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year.
Does Auralo log food?
Auralo logs water and caffeine and reads nutrition from Apple Health, but it isn't a food logger. If you want food logging in the same app, Bevel does that.
Does Auralo have strength tracking?
A strength log with what you lifted last time beside every set, and a muscle recovery map, are coming in the next beta.
Do I need an account?
Not for Auralo. Bevel's App Store label lists name and email as collected.
Is this medical advice?
No. Both give wellness information. If something feels wrong, talk to a doctor.
