This is the best app to track your climbing and boulder sessions automatically. Redpoint gives you detailed overview and feedback on your ascents. Use your Watch or iPhone as a fitness tracker for bouldering and climbing. Contribute your climbing session to closing your daily rings! Workouts are stored in HealthKit and therefore visible in the Health app and Workouts app as well. After each session you will see detailed information about your climbs: the overall height, your heart rate, duration, maximum ascent height, ascending speed, difficulty of routes, and most importantly: Redpoint will give you personalized training suggestions based on that data. How to go from V4 to V5? Or from 5.11b to 5.11c? Redpoint creates a training plan just for you to achieve your next climbing goals. So, how does that work? Thanks to highly advanced machine learning we are able to classify climbing movements right on your Watch. In addition to that we use the built-in barometer to measure the ascended altitude. You can track the difficulty of ascended routes right from the Watch. With Redpoint you can use your Watch for: - Bouldering - Top Rope - Sport Climbing - Trad Climbing - Multi Rope (Alpine) - Free Solo - Aid Climbing - Via Ferrata - Ice Climbing Available Redpoint Membership Subscriptions: There are two options available: Three-months membership and annual membership.

SpeedClimbingTimer

SpeedClimbing is a professional timer built for speed climbing. It follows the official IFSC start procedure with two-lane, millisecond-accurate timing, so every attempt is measured and recorded. KEY FEATURES · IFSC start sequence: READY -> MARKS (voice) -> SET (two lights) -> CLIMB!, just like a real competition · Duo Mode: time lanes A and B simultaneously with millisecond precision and automatic winner detection · Single Mode: pick one climber and stop the clock with a single STOP button, ideal for solo training · Start tone and per-second ticks keep the climbing rhythm on track · Voice callout of the results and the winner at the finish · Climber list: manage athletes, pick names per lane and swap lanes in one tap; renaming a climber keeps the whole history · Personal history and progress chart for every climber, with lanes A and B side by side and the faster run highlighted · Video recording: both timers are burned into the top of the video and the clip is saved to your photo library, replayable straight from the history row · Portrait, large-display layout, easy to read from the wall side or the stands PRIVACY The recorded audio is the app's own cues captured internally — no microphone, no ambient sound. All data (climber list, results, videos) stays on your device. We do not collect or upload any personal information.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SpeedClimbingTimer at none against Redpoint's 5. SpeedClimbingTimer also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
