9Bar tells you how your bean behaves before you pull — then gives you exactly one thing to change after each shot. Dial in faster, waste less, build a library of every recipe that worked. **Bean Intel — before shot #1** See how this specific bean tends to behave: grind direction, yield preference, freshness window. When real community data exists (10+ pulls from other users), you see real patterns — percentages, ratios, shot times. When it doesn't, 9Bar gives you roast-level estimates grounded in extraction physics and tells you the difference. **One adjustment after every shot** Log your shot in under 30 seconds — dose, yield, time, taste, flow. 9Bar gives you one specific adjustment with direction, magnitude, and the extraction reason behind it. Not a checklist. Not five suggestions. One move. **Save your recipe when it's right** When your shot tastes balanced — or even just better — save it as your dialed-in recipe. Your library keeps every recipe you've nailed, organized by bean and roast level. **Your data, your patterns** See your total shots, beans dialed, and average shots to dial in. Over time, 9Bar surfaces what works for you specifically — which adjustments fix which problems, and how you compare to the community. **76 roasters. 265 beans. Add your own.** From Onyx to Happy Mug, Counter Culture to Kirkland Signature. Search by name, roast level, or style. Don't see your bean? Add it in seconds — your shots build the signal for everyone who pulls it after you. **Your setup, your way** Set your machine, grinder, basket, and scale. Choose ristretto, normale, or lungo — guidance adapts to your shot type. Switch units between grams and ounces. Your first 5 beans are free. After that, unlock unlimited beans with 9Bar Pro ($2.99/month or $19.99/year). Terms of Service: https://madebykindred.co/9Bar/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 011 at none against 9Bar's 2. 011 also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). 9Bar's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
