RHRSpark puts your resting heart rate on your Apple Watch face as a sparkline, a gauge, or a corner complication. WHAT YOU GET • Three free 24-hour complications: a sparkline, a gauge, and a corner • Seven Pro complications across 8-hour, 7-day, and 30-day windows • Recent sedentary heart rate and Apple's daily resting heart rate, each labeled • Calculation notes for every complication in the iPhone gallery TWO SOURCES, SHOWN CLEARLY The 8-hour and 24-hour views use heart-rate samples that HealthKit labels as sedentary. The 7-day and 30-day views use Apple's daily resting heart rate. When there is no recent sedentary sample, the big number shows Apple's latest resting heart rate and says so. Longer gaps stay visible instead of being filled in. BUILT FOR THE WATCH FACE Choose rectangular, circular, or corner complications. A short HR or RHR label tells you which source you are seeing and leaves the sparkline the room. The Apple Watch app works without the iPhone app and keeps a record of your daily values. The iPhone app adds older days whenever you open it. ONE-TIME PRO UNLOCK Download free and use the three 24-hour complications. Unlock all ten with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, account, ads, or telemetry. PAIR IT WITH HRVSPARK HRVSpark gives the same direct view of raw SDNN heart rate variability across useful time windows. HealthKit data stays on your devices and moves only between your iPhone and Apple Watch through Apple frameworks. RHRSpark may request a small configuration file from filamentlabs.io to show current product messages. That request contains no health data. RHRSpark is for informational purposes only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: RHRSpark at Free against RunnerGoal's $2.99. RHRSpark also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). RunnerGoal's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
