BikeSignal is your modular bike computer for iPhone and Apple Watch. Start your ride in seconds and keep all key metrics live at a glance: distance, speed, elevation, heart rate, zones, and more. Customize your tracking layout to match your ride style – from compact to large – with freely configurable metrics and colors. Connect external sensors such as heart rate, cadence, speed, or power meters and ride with the data that matters most to you. In map view, follow your route live and switch between different map styles as needed, so navigation and ride data stay visible at all times. New: Import GPX files directly into BikeSignal via the iOS share sheet and display them as a route overlay on the map. You can also reload routes from your history—either as a visual guide or as a ghost ride against your previous effort. With Apple Health integration, BikeSignal reads relevant workout data and writes completed activities back to Health, keeping your training and health history consistent. For elevation calculation, BikeSignal can use the Apple Watch barometer for especially stable and precise elevation gain. You can switch to GPS-only elevation at any time. After each ride, everything is organized in your history with detailed analysis, profiles, and metrics. If you want, BikeSignal can automatically upload your activity to Strava. Highlights: · Live tracking with iPhone and Apple Watch · Map view with live route · GPX import via share sheet · Ride route again & ghost ride against yourself · Apple Health integration (read & write) · GPS route, elevation profile, ascent/descent · Precise elevation from Apple Watch barometer · Heart rate and power zones · Bluetooth sensor support · Auto-pause and smart resume · Fast history detail analysis · Strava integration with optional auto-upload BikeSignal focuses on what matters most: clean tracking, clear data, and full control on every ride.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kadans at none against BikeSignal's 3. BikeSignal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
