Gyroscope is not just an app, but a new operating system for the human body. You’ll be able to see everything about your biology, and update your internal systems for our modern world. Better nutrition, better exercise, better living with AI. With the world’s first Health Camera, now tracking your life is as simple as taking a photo. Use the app to take a photo of everything you eat (and drink) to get realtime and accurate data. While there are many other photo food camera apps on the market now, Gyroscope is the most accurate and combines photos, text labels, scale data, nutrition labels and years of data for the most reliable tracking system. With Gyroscope One, you can track everything in one place: your food, fasting, mood, meditation, exercise, travel, sleep, glucose, productivity, and thousands of devices like Apple Watch, wifi scales, glucose monitors, blood pressure cuffs, and more. Even if you don’t have any devices, the app can measure essentials like mood, calories, protein, travels, sleep, food and more! Successfully losing bodyfat and staying healthy long term takes more than just eating less. In the app, you can get the full checklist of best practices to make sure you follow the right protocol to not only lose weight, but also keep your muscle mass.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gyroscope at 4.8 against STEPN's 4.2. Gyroscope also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and review sentiment (65% vs 49%). STEPN's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
