Upright
Read full descriptionHide full description
Upright is a symptom and standing-test tracker built for people with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). LOG SYMPTOMS IN TWO TAPS โ Track dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, brain fog, and more, even on your worst days. GUIDED STANDING TESTS โ A step-by-step flow: lie down five minutes, stand, and record heart rate at 1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes. Leave the app during timers โ notifications bring you back at the right moment. With an Apple Watch, heart-rate fields fill automatically during a workout. A REPORT YOUR DOCTOR WILL READ โ Your tests, averaged, on one page. Made for the appointment desk. Upright is a documentation tool, not a diagnostic device. It never interprets your results โ that conversation belongs to you and your doctor. Health data stays private; heart rate is read-only from HealthKit.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Upright at 15.1 against SaltStack's 18.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
