App Purpose BIDSleep is a wellness app that helps users collect heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO₂), motion, and optional sleep stage data during rest or overnight sessions. It is designed solely for personal data logging and self-monitoring purposes. Use of HKWorkoutSession To enable higher-frequency physiological data collection (e.g., heart rate approximately every 5 seconds), BIDSleep uses HKWorkoutSession with the .mindAndBody activity type. This is required because alternative background methods like WKExtendedRuntimeSession do not allow sufficient sampling rates. No Analysis or Interpretation BIDSleep does not perform any health analysis, sleep scoring, or diagnostic interpretation. It simply facilitates the collection and optional export of raw physiological data from the Apple Watch and HealthKit for the user’s personal reference. Privacy All collected data remains securely stored on the user’s device and is never transmitted, analyzed, or shared without the user’s explicit consent. Disclaimer BIDSleep is not a medical device and does not provide any health diagnostics, treatment recommendations, or clinical functionality. It is intended only for general wellness and self-tracking use.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Training Today at 4.6 against BIDSleep's 2.6. Training Today also leads on review sentiment (53% vs 25%) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 5). BIDSleep's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Training Today sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.95 per month. BIDSleep asks for nothing beyond the download.
Training Today holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Training Today has 2.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Training Today's written reviews are positive against 25% of BIDSleep's.
