What each app does that SnoreLab does not, what it gives up, and what it costs.
SnoreLab has 57K ratings at 4.7 and a Snore Score built for testing remedies, so it stays a strong pick if you will pay for Premium. If you want to skip the subscription, Snore Timeline (no subscription, no in-app purchases, Data Not Collected label), AutoSnore ($4.99 once) and SnoreClock ($9.99 once) record the whole night without a paywall. Pillow and Snollo add Apple Watch sleep data, while ShutEye and BetterSleep pair a snore recorder with large sleep-sound libraries on a subscription.

SnoreLab holds 4.7 stars from 57K ratings on the US App Store. Its listing says it has monitored more than 50 million nights, and its website now puts that figure at more than 170 million. The listing cites an award from 2014.
The Snore Score is its signature. SnoreLab calls it a measure of snoring intensity that combines volume, duration and frequency, and breaks each night into quiet, light, loud and epic. You tag remedies and lifestyle factors each night, create your own, and the Trends view shows which ones line up with less snoring. It adds remedy information screens, BreathFlow and a breathing disturbance index. Its FAQ states that it is not a medical device and not an automatic sleep apnea detector.
The free tier has limits. The SnoreLab FAQ says the free version records, shows charts, plays captured audio and tags remedies. After your first 5 sessions, it cannot run on 2 consecutive days. By default it saves 20 audio samples a night, and the number of recordings you can play per night in the free version is limited. Full-night recording, full session history, Trends and export sit behind Premium.
Premium is a subscription. The App Store lists Premium plans from $5.99 to $59.99: monthly at $5.99, $7.99 and $9.99, 3 months at $8.99, and yearly at $17.99, $39.99 and $59.99. One item is labeled "SnoreLab Premium One-time Purchase" at $7.99.
The privacy label lists tracking. As declared on the App Store on 27 September 2026, SnoreLab lists Usage Data under Data Used to Track You. Data Linked to You covers Health & Fitness, Contact Info, User Content and Identifiers. User Content includes Audio Data, which means the developer declared it collects audio; the label alone does not say how. The FAQ explains that detection runs on the device and that the app uses an internet connection to upload sessions to your SnoreLab account.
Snore Timeline records the whole night and keeps all of it for playback, where SnoreLab's free tier saves 20 samples. It detects snores, gasps, coughs, sleep talking and breathing, groups snores into episodes (a 30-second gap closes one), and summarizes each one in plain English. It flags breathing pauses: a minute of audible breathing, then 10+ seconds of silence, then a recovery sound. CSV, clips and full-night audio export to the Files app. It runs on iPhone and Android with no account.
It has no Snore Score, and no remedy library with reading material. You tag nights with sleep factors such as CPAP, Mouth Guard or Nasal Strips instead. Its 214 ratings are a fraction of SnoreLab's.
Its App Store listing describes an app built around Apple Watch: heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen trends through the night, plus a sleep-stage breakdown. SnoreLab shows watch sleep phases through Apple Health, and its listing does not mention blood oxygen. The listing says acoustic analysis runs on the iPhone, and recordings and health logs sit in your private iCloud container.
It is new, with 14 ratings at 2.9, and its listing mentions no remedy tracking or Snore Score equivalent. Audio review covers noise events from your last session.
Pillow carries an Editors' Choice badge on the App Store and 96K ratings at 4.4. Its strength is Apple Watch sleep tracking: wear the watch and Pillow detects and analyzes your sleep, with heart-rate analysis and a stage diagram of Awake, REM, Light and Deep. It adds a smart alarm that aims for your lightest sleep stage, plus nap modes. The listing says audio processing runs on the device.
Sound recordings, CSV export and unlimited history all sit in its Premium list, so the free app is thin for snoring. Its listing names no snore-specific score.
ShutEye has 4.8 stars from 350K ratings, second only to BetterSleep’s 391K in this list. Its listing leads with an extensive library of sleep sounds, bedtime stories and customizable sound mixes, plus a smart alarm clock. It tracks snoring and saves sleep sessions to Apple Health.
Snore tracking is one feature among many. The listing does not describe remedy tagging, a snore score or how playback works.
Sleep Cycle built its name on the Smart Alarm, which wakes you in your lightest sleep phase. Its listing cites more than 40 million downloads. It tracks sleep by sound or accelerometer, detects snoring, coughing and sleep talking, and adds an AI sleep coach called Luma.
Snoring is a side metric. The listing names data export and Apple Health sync as premium tools, and it describes no remedy tracking like SnoreLab's.
BetterSleep has 391K ratings at 4.7. Its listing counts more than 300 sleep sounds and music tracks, more than 250 meditations and more than 100 stories. The sleep recorder captures the sounds you make and marks when you snore, move or talk, and you can listen back in the morning.
It is a relaxation app first. The listing describes no snore score, no remedy tracking and no export.
This app from developer Irakli Chikvaidze has 4.5 stars from 4.2K ratings, and the App Store lists no in-app purchases for it. Its listing describes AI detection of snoring, talking and shouting, playback of each episode, and a feature that masks snoring with melodies so your partner sleeps. It also generates AI soundscapes.
It has no remedy tracking in its listing. It describes interval reports of potential sleep apnea episodes with probability levels; like every app here, it is not a medical device, and its own disclaimer says so.
AutoSnore comes from the team behind AutoSleep. It records snoring and sleep sounds, classifies them with machine learning (snoring, talking, yawning, coughing), and rolls the night into a single "Snurk" score, the closest match here to SnoreLab's Snore Score. You can track remedies and lifestyle changes, and data syncs with AutoSleep.
It has 1.3K ratings against SnoreLab's 57K, and its listing describes no export beyond sharing a single recording. We found no Android version.
SnoreClock records up to 11 hours, shows volume across the whole recording, and lets you tap anywhere on the chart to listen. It highlights likely snoring and marks talking, whispering and coughing. It stops on low battery. Its listing says it needs no registration and stores everything on the device.
It is minimal. It has 60 ratings, and the listing describes no remedy tracking, no score and no export.
Your Snore Score history stays in SnoreLab, since no other app computes that score. Its spreadsheet export of all sessions needs Premium and leaves out audio, so export before your subscription ends.
Your remedy log and the remedy information screens stay too. In Snore Timeline you rebuild the log with sleep factors: 23 built-in ones, including CPAP, Mouth Guard, Nasal Strips and Slept on Side, plus custom factors for anything missing.
Allow microphone access, plug the phone in, and turn on Do Not Disturb so a call cannot stop the recording. Put the phone 3 to 4 feet away for snoring, or 1 to 2 feet if you care about breathing pauses. In the morning, play the loudest episode. If you can hear yourself, placement works. Your First Week walks through each night.
Put SnoreLab on one device and the new app on another, side by side at the same distance. SnoreLab's free tier will skip every other night after your first 5 sessions.
A Snore Score and a total snore time use different scales, so compare direction: both should rise on loud nights and fall on quiet ones. Tag any remedy in both apps. Testing a Snoring Fix explains how many nights you need before the comparison means anything. For the head-to-head, read Snore Timeline vs SnoreLab.
Four apps here carry no recurring cost, and three of them declare Data Not Collected. The privacy labels guide sets all 14 labels side by side, and snoring apps with no subscription covers pricing. After that, pick by the feature you care about most: watch vitals (Pillow, Snollo), sleep sounds (ShutEye, BetterSleep), a smart alarm (Sleep Cycle), or a score to drive down with remedies (AutoSnore). Android users can start with the Android guide.
The NHLBI lists breathing that starts and stops, frequent loud snoring and gasping for air as sleep apnea symptoms you may not notice until someone tells you. A recording can help you describe them to a doctor. Export & Sharing shows how to hand Snore Timeline files over.
Snore Timeline analyzes audio. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose sleep apnea or any other condition. Bring recordings to a doctor if you suspect breathing pauses.
Yes. Snore Timeline and Snore Recorder - Sleep Monitor both list no in-app purchases on the App Store as of 27 September 2026. Snore Timeline records the full night and exports audio and CSV files, with no account.
SnoreLab has a free version too, but after your first 5 sessions it cannot run on 2 consecutive days.
Snore Timeline has no subscription and no in-app purchases. AutoSnore costs $4.99 once and SnoreClock costs $9.99 once, and neither lists in-app purchases. Snore Recorder - Sleep Monitor lists none either.
Pillow, ShutEye, Sleep Cycle, BetterSleep and Snollo sell subscriptions.
Some do. SnoreLab runs on iOS and Android, and Snore Timeline runs on Android 10 or later, minus the Apple Watch features.
Snollo's App Store listing describes an iPhone and Apple Watch app, and Pillow's site lists Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad. We found no Android version of either.
Going by the App Store privacy labels declared on 27 September 2026, three apps in this list declare Data Not Collected: Snore Timeline, AutoSnore and SnoreClock. Snore Recorder - Sleep Monitor declares only User Content and Usage Data not linked to you.
Each label is the developer's own declaration of what it collects.
Snore Timeline exports episode clips, full-night audio and CSV reports to the Files app. SnoreLab exports with Premium: a per-session email report with audio and chart, or a spreadsheet of all sessions without audio.
Pillow's listing names CSV data export as a Premium feature, and Sleep Cycle's lists data export among its premium tools. AutoSnore's listing says you can choose to share a recording. The other listings do not describe an export feature.
Free. No subscription, no account, no in-app purchases.
