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. It does not provide medical advice or diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.
Vantage

Vantage is a longevity coach, not another dashboard. It reads your Apple Health data and tells you what to do today for your training, nutrition and sleep. Two scores. No streaks. Start with a 7-day free trial. Most health apps show you fifteen metrics and leave you to figure out what to do. Vantage shows you two numbers — Recovery and Longevity — and the actions worth taking today. That's the whole idea. Radical simplicity, on purpose. WHAT VANTAGE DOES Reads your Apple Health data with your permission: sleep, activity, workouts, heart rate, HRV, body measurements and nutrition. Writes your weight and body measurements back. You choose what to share and can revoke it any time. Gives you two scores. Recovery tells you how ready you are to train today. Longevity is one number, 0 to 100, built from your VO₂ max, your body composition, and your consistency in training, nutrition and sleep over the last 30 days. Every input is broken out, so you can see where your score comes from. Gives you today's actions. The prioritized moves for your training, your nutrition and your sleep, chosen for today. Training: a program built for longevity. Zone 2, VO₂ max and strength sessions in your own heart-rate zones, built around your equipment and your schedule. Every exercise demonstrated on video. Nutrition: calories set by your body composition, protein set by your bodyweight, and a calorie balance that carries across days and grows with what you train. Log your meals and run a fasting timer: you pick the fasting protocol, Vantage keeps the clock and the history. Sleep: up to six sleep tactics built from your nights and your habits (schedule, bedroom, caffeine, alcohol, late meals), ranked by how much each should lift your sleep score. After 30 nights, see which of your behaviors actually move it. WHO IT'S FOR People who take their health seriously, want the evidence-based version, and are tired of dashboards that measure everything and tell you nothing. If you already think in terms of healthspan, not just lifespan, Vantage was built for you. WHAT VANTAGE WON'T DO No streaks to break. No badges. No gamification. No dark patterns. No shame when you miss a day. No ads. No selling your data. A coach, not a slot machine. SUBSCRIPTION Free: your daily Recovery score, sleep metrics, nutrition logging and fasting timer Premium: the Longevity score, today's actions, and your training, nutrition and sleep plans. Monthly or annual, each with a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: RHRSpark at 3 against Vantage's 1. RHRSpark also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
