Bevel Pro vs MetricBridge: A Coach on a Plan, or Answers You Buy Once
Bevel's tracking is free: recovery, sleep, strain and stress cost nothing. What Bevel Pro sells is mostly its AI coach, Bevel Intelligence. MetricBridge sells a narrower thing for a single payment: answers to your own questions about your Apple Health data, computed on your iPhone, with the numbers shown. They are not the same product, and for some people Bevel Pro is the better buy.
AI-assisted, human reviewed. How we use AI
MetricBridge makes one of the products compared. Facts about Bevel come from Bevel's own help centre, privacy policy, feedback board and US App Store listing, read on 12 November 2026, each linked where it is used.
Quick answer. Pick Bevel Pro if you want a coach that checks in on you, builds training and meal plans, reads your lab results and remembers earlier chats, and you are comfortable with that running on cloud models. Pick MetricBridge if what you want is to ask your own data a question and check the answer, with nothing about your health sent to a cloud model, your full history as a file, and your own AI agent able to read it, for one payment. Plenty of people could sensibly run Bevel's free tier and MetricBridge side by side. Both are wellness tools, not medical advice.

Where Bevel Pro is the better pick
- A coach that comes to you. Daily check-ins and accountability are part of Bevel Intelligence. MetricBridge answers when you ask.
- Plans. Training plans, and nutrition and meal planning. MetricBridge describes what happened and how it compares with your usual; it does not prescribe a programme.
- Lab results and memory. Bevel can analyse uploaded health records, including blood biomarkers, and keeps files as long-term memory across chats. MetricBridge does neither.
- Bigger models and the web. Bevel runs on large cloud models and lists web access for medical research. A model that fits on a phone is smaller, and MetricBridge keeps it to your own numbers on purpose.
- Food logging by AI. Bevel logs meals. MetricBridge reads nutrition other apps write to Apple Health, with no meal logger of its own.
- The free tier. If all you want is a daily recovery number on your Apple Watch, Bevel's free tier already gives you one, and you need neither Pro nor us for that.
Where MetricBridge is the better fit
- Your question never goes to a cloud model. Ask runs on the iPhone. There is no setting that sends a health question to a provider, so there is nothing to switch on by mistake.
- You can check the answer. Each answer shows which metric, which days and how many samples it used, and the readiness estimate publishes every weight on /methods/.
- No allowance. Ask as often as you like. There are no credits to run out of and none to buy.
- Your agent, today. The open-source MCP server lets Claude, Cursor and other clients read your real numbers now. Bevel's connector is planned, with no date given.
- Your history as a file. 194 metrics as JSON or CSV, full history, on a schedule, to a place you choose.
- One payment. $24.99 once covers everything. A year of Bevel Pro is $99.99, and that buys more coaching than we offer, so compare what you would use, not only the price.
How to choose in two questions
- Do you want to be coached, or to ask? If you want something that plans your week and nudges you, that is Bevel Pro. If you mostly open the coach to ask "how did I sleep this month compared with last?" or "is my resting heart rate drifting?", that is the job Ask does.
- Are you comfortable with health data on cloud models? Bevel is clear that Intelligence is off until you enable it, and that enabling it sends pseudonymized data to its model partners. If that is fine for you, Bevel's coach can do more. If it is not, on-device is the reason to pick MetricBridge.
You can also keep Bevel's free tracking and use MetricBridge for questions, export and your agents. MetricBridge only reads Apple Health, so the two do not conflict.
The same caution applies to both
Both describe your own data against your own history. Neither diagnoses anything, and a pattern in your data is not proof that one thing caused another. Use either to notice and ask, and a clinician to decide.
Ask your data. Check every number.
On-device answers with the days and samples shown, a readiness estimate with the method published, 194 metrics as JSON and 22 MCP tools (20 read-only). Free trial, then $24.99 once.
7-day free trial, then $24.99 one time. Not a subscription. No account. Your health data never reaches us or a cloud AI; the export goes only where you point it. Works on any iPhone; a ~400 MB on-device model covers phones without Apple Intelligence. Where your data goes · How the numbers are computed
Frequently asked questions
Is Bevel free?
Bevel's tracking is free: its help centre lists Recovery, Sleep, Strain, Stress, nutrition and strength tracking and more in the free plan, and says features in Free today will stay free. Bevel Pro, at $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year in the US, adds Bevel Intelligence, Health Records, Biological Age and Training Plans. Read on 12 November 2026.
What is the difference between Bevel Intelligence and MetricBridge Ask?
Bevel Intelligence is a cloud AI coach: check-ins, training and meal plans, lab result analysis and long-term memory, within a weekly allowance. MetricBridge Ask answers questions about your Apple Health data on your iPhone, shows the days and samples behind each answer, and has no usage limit. It does not coach or plan.
Does Bevel Intelligence send my health data to the cloud?
Bevel's privacy policy says Intelligence is off until you enable it. When it is on, pseudonymized health data is processed by Bevel's LLM partners and some Apple Health data is stored on Bevel's servers; the policy says those partners may not train on it. MetricBridge's Ask runs on the iPhone and has no cloud model option.
Is there a limit on Bevel Intelligence messages?
Yes. Bevel's help centre describes a weekly allowance that resets every 7 days, without stating its size, and extra credit packs are sold in the app, from $4.99 for 350 credits to $49.99 for 4,200 on the US App Store. MetricBridge does not meter questions.
Can I use Bevel and MetricBridge together?
Yes. MetricBridge only reads Apple Health, so it does not conflict with Bevel. A common split is Bevel's free tier for the daily recovery number and MetricBridge for questions, exports and your own AI agents.
