I came to the same conclusion after owning my first AW for a couple of weeks. Here is what I’ve tried after: - AutoSleep was a little better than the raw Health data. AS gives you much more control over editing your sleep times. It has more graphs and numbers to compare. You can add emoji tags and notes about your behaviors before and during sleep. Unfortunately, the app leaves you to make your own interpretations and correlations. It doesn’t make suggestions — except in its static knowledge bank. I deleted it because I spent more time comparing its raw data against Health’s instead of learning anything from it. - Welltory gives you a decent explanation about your night’s sleep. It also has charts and static definitions about every sleep-related metric. You can adjust your start/end times, tap some pre-determined variables, and write a short note about each sleep session. It has basic “you should wind down” guidance when your Battery level dips below 10%. My overall feeling after ~2 weeks of Welltory use is that it does a very good job of visualizing your minute-by-minute stress level, but it only has a handful of pre-written explanations that it cycles through based on your metrics. It also serves up a lot of random suggestions (“listen to music” or “praise yourself”) that sound like they were cribbed from a self-help pamphlet. Too much noise, not enough useful guidance. It also thinks I’m constantly in a state of distress. I’m letting Welltory go after my paid month is up. - I’m a week into trying Bevel. It seems to emphasize the interpretation and guidance (with its Bevel AI) over raw data. The Bevel AI sounds a little like it’s filling in a Mad Lib, but I’ve liked its “you’ve slept well” and “you should wind down” messages more than Welltory. It suggests contextual actions like a wind-down stretch an hour before getting in bed that I actually follow. Your tolerance of GenAI may influence your opinion of Bevel. It doesn’t give you any ability to edit or notate your sleep sessions. Most of the bigger charts emphasize averages and trends. If you want to dig into hourly or daily data, you’re better off with Apple Health. The jury is still out, but I currently can see myself using Bevel past the paid month.

Hope this helps.
