The number on the scale can go up even when you’re making progress. Honest Scale is a calmer weight loss tracker that helps you look past normal day-to-day changes and understand where your weight is actually headed. See your weight trend, note factors like sleep or travel, and stay focused on meaningful progress—not one stressful number. SEE THE TREND, NOT THE NOISE Honest Scale shows both the number on the scale and your underlying weight trend, helping you recognize real progress even when individual weigh-ins bounce up and down. GET INSIGHT, NOT JUST DATA Today’s Weight Insight uses your latest weigh-in together with your history, weight trend, and goal to provide relevant guidance. You can add optional details about sleep, salty meals, workouts, or travel to better understand what may be happening. Today’s Perspective provides a separate, supportive view that helps keep one number in proportion. KNOW WHETHER YOU’RE ON TRACK Explore interactive charts covering 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or your complete history. Follow milestone progress, see how much your weight has changed since your first weigh-in, and view an estimated timeline toward your next milestone when enough information is available. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Connect Apple Health to import existing weigh-ins with their original dates. You can also log manually, add notes and real-life factors, and optionally save manual entries to Apple Health. SEE YOUR WHOLE JOURNEY Review your individual weigh-ins, weight trend, average weekly change, notes, and real-life factors in an organized monthly history. Filter manual or Apple Health entries and revisit the moments behind the numbers. BUILD A CALMER ROUTINE Choose a gentle reminder schedule that fits you. Honest Scale won’t remind you again after you have already logged that day. PRIVATE AND IN YOUR CONTROL Protect Honest Scale with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Export your history as a spreadsheet file (CSV), or create a backup file to move or recover your app data. HONEST SCALE INCLUDES • Clear weight trends and interactive charts • Personalized Weight Insights and Today’s Perspective • Optional real-life factors and notes • Goal milestones, progress, and estimated dates • Import from Apple Health and optional saving of manual entries • BMI reference based on your saved height and weight • Flexible weigh-in reminders • App Lock, spreadsheet export, backup, and restore Honest Scale is built for people who want to lose weight, maintain their weight, understand weight changes, or feel less anxious about stepping on the scale. It stays focused on helping you understand your weight—without the calorie counting, meal logging, and clutter of an all-in-one diet app. Premium subscription required for full access. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your App Store account. Trial availability depends on App Store eligibility.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Honest Scale at 100% against Eight Sleep's 28%. Honest Scale also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Eight Sleep's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
