Snoring Apps With No Subscription: 14 Apps Sorted by Cost

At a glance

Prices come from each app’s App Store listing, and the lowest and highest columns count the download price plus every in-app purchase the listing shows.

The App Store shows a list of top in-app purchases, so an app can sell things the listing leaves out, and you’ll often see the same plan name at two or three prices. Each app’s full label is in 14 snoring app privacy labels compared.

For the review notes, I read each app’s 50 most recent US App Store reviews on the same date, or every review when the feed had fewer, and I give that count. They’re opinions from users. Recent written reviews run more negative than overall star ratings.

Snore Timeline’s rating count is small next to most of these. It reached the App Store in September 2025, where SnoreLab has been since 2012, and I build it alone, with no outside funding and no marketing budget.

Nothing to buy

Two apps list no price at download and no in-app purchases. What the listing describes is what you get. No upgrade screen sits between you and a feature.

Snore Timeline

I build Snore Timeline. It has no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account and no server. Every user gets every feature, at no cost. It records the whole night through the phone microphone, AirPods or another Bluetooth mic, and it picks out snores, gasps, coughs, sleep talking and breathing as they happen. Snores group into episodes; a 30-second gap ends one, and for each episode you see its duration, snore count, peak and average loudness, rhythm, and a plain-English summary.

When a minute or more of audible breathing drops into 10 or more seconds of silence, and a recovery sound such as a loud snore, gasp or breath ends it, the app flags a breathing disruption. It estimates sleep stages (Awake, Light, Deep, REM) from the recording alone, with no wearable and no Apple Health, and on the nightly summary a band of your stages runs under the snoring chart, which switches between loudness and snores per minute, so you can see whether snoring clusters in light, deep or REM sleep. Each night gets a 0 to 100 sleep score with snoring and breathing disruptions counting against it. You can tag nights with any of 23 built-in sleep factors, CPAP or Nasal Strips for instance, or your own, and after at least 3 tagged and 3 untagged nights, the app ranks what helped.

Snore Nudge plays a sound, vibrates the iPhone or taps your wrist when you snore, in any mix you choose, with the sound one step louder each time a nudge doesn’t help. Wrist taps work on Apple Watch and on other watches that show iPhone notifications, such as Garmin, Fitbit or Huawei, and the Smart Wake Up Alarm wakes you in light sleep within a 15, 30 or 45 minute window you set. The Apple Watch app shows live heart rate and HRV and can stop a recording, and stage data from Apple Watch, Oura, Garmin, Whoop and Ultrahuman comes in through Apple Health, each source on its own timeline. CSV files, audio clips and full-night audio all export to Files. There’s an Android version too.

Its privacy label reads Data Not Collected. On the listing it has a 4.9 rating from 281 ratings.

I went through all 38 US App Store reviews the feed returned for it, from 14 November 2025 to 19 September 2026, and nobody complains about price. Twenty-three bring up having nothing to pay. One person asks for a donation or one-time purchase option to support development.

Snore Recorder - Sleep Monitor

Snore Recorder - Sleep Monitor comes from developer Irakli Chikvaidze. It lists no in-app purchases. Its App Store listing says it uses AI to detect and record snoring, talking and shouting and to build sleep soundscapes, and that it masks snoring with melodies so a partner can sleep. It also describes interval-based reports on what it calls potential sleep apnea episodes, with event counts and probability levels, and the same listing says the app is not a medical device and isn’t intended to diagnose or treat sleep disorders. It has a 4.5 rating from about 4,400 ratings.

Its label declares User Content and Usage Data. Both sit under Data Not Linked to You.

Pay once

Two apps charge at download and list no in-app purchases. Both declare Data Not Collected.

AutoSnore ($4.99)

AutoSnore is made by Tantsissa, the team behind the AutoSleep app. Its listing promises no subscriptions and no hidden extra in-app purchases. It records snoring and other sleep sounds, sorts them with machine learning into snoring, sleep talking, yawning and coughing, and rolls the night into a single Snurk score. You can track remedies, and snore data syncs with AutoSleep. The listing calls the current price a limited-time launch special. The $4.99 may go up. It has a 4.3 rating from about 1,400 ratings.

Paying comes up in five of AutoSnore’s 50 most recent US App Store reviews (23 December 2025 to 21 September 2026), and in four of them the reviewer says the $4.99 bought an app that failed for them.

SnoreClock ($9.99)

SnoreClock is by Ralph-Ruediger Schiffhauer. You start and stop each sleep session yourself. According to its listing, it highlights likely snoring events, marks talking, whispering and coughing, shows volume across the whole recording, and records for up to 11 hours. There’s no registration. Every recording stays on the device, the listing says. It’s rated 4.6 from 60 ratings.

Subscriptions

The remaining ten are free to download and sell plans inside the app, and for each one I list every in-app purchase the US listing showed on 1 November 2026, named the way the developer wrote it.

SnoreLab

SnoreLab has 58,000 ratings at 4.7, the largest base among the dedicated snore apps here, and it’s built around the Snore Score, which measures snoring intensity, plus remedy testing that shows how a change affects your results. The listing shows SnoreLab Premium 1 Month ($5.99, $7.99, $9.99), SnoreLab Premium 3 Months ($8.99), SnoreLab Premium 1 Year ($17.99, $39.99, $59.99), SnoreLab Premium ($5.99, $17.99) and SnoreLab Premium One-time Purchase ($7.99). The two plain SnoreLab Premium items carry no period in the name. Their term isn’t given. SnoreLab’s FAQ says Premium adds unlimited recording, full session history, full night recording, trends, audio backup and export, and that new users get a 7-day trial. The same FAQ says SnoreLab’s sleep phases come from an Apple Watch through Apple Health, and SnoreLab has no snore alarm. Its privacy policy lets it use your sleep data and the sex, age, weight and height you enter to tailor in-app content, including partner promotions if you opt in, and for research, and it keeps your data for 12 months after you delete your account or cancel. My Snore Timeline vs SnoreLab page goes deeper.

Across its 50 most recent US App Store reviews, dated 24 April to 26 September 2026, nine raise the price, the trial or the paywall.

Sleep Cycle

Sleep Cycle has a long record with its smart alarm, which wakes you in a light phase, and 31,000 ratings at 4.7; the subscription section of its listing says Sleep Cycle Premium unlocks all sleep aids and snore detection, among other things, and offers a free trial. On the purchase list are Sleep Cycle Premium ($2.99, $19.99, $57.99 twice), Premium ($9.99, $11.99, $19.99, $29.99, $34.99) and Premium: Unlock all features ($39.99). Not one of those names gives a period. Snore Timeline’s Smart Wake Up Alarm and snore detection are free. Sleep Cycle’s privacy policy says health data stays on your device by default, that its optional backup sends everything in the app to its servers on Google Cloud, and that with your consent it can share personal data with research studies.

The subscription, the trial or cancelling it is the complaint in 17 of the 50 most recent US App Store reviews (26 August to 25 September 2026). Seven couldn’t cancel, they say, or got charged anyway.

Pillow

Pillow carries Apple’s Editors’ Choice badge. It does detailed sleep tracking with an Apple Watch, iPhone or iPad and has 96,000 ratings at 4.4. Sound recordings, CSV export and smart wake-up are on its Premium list, all three free in Snore Timeline. Its subscriptions renew unless you turn off auto-renew 24 hours before the period ends, according to the listing, which shows Premium Sleep Tracking ($39.99), Pillow Premium - Monthly ($19.99), Pillow Premium - Quarterly ($59.99) and Pillow Premium - Annual ($39.99, listed twice).

Price or subscription complaints show up in 22 of the 50 most recent US App Store reviews (20 July to 25 September 2026), and in 17 of those the reviewer says the app opens on a trial screen with no way into the free version.

ShutEye

ShutEye pairs a large library of sleep sounds with a snore and sleep-talk recorder, has 350,000 ratings at 4.8, and names an auto-renewing subscription at $59.99 a year on its listing. Enerjoy’s privacy policy says it won’t share Health Data with advertising partners under any circumstances. Then the purchase list gets long. It shows ShutEye Premium ($59.99), 1-Month ShutEye Premium ($9.99), 1-Month ShutEye Premium Plan ($9.99), 1-Year ShutEye Premium ($59.99), 1-Year ShutEye Premium Plan ($59.99), 1-Year ShutEye Family Plan ($59.99), Limited Time Offer ($29.99), Limited Time Offer (6-Month) ($19.99), ShutEye Gold (Special Offer) ($29.99) and ShutEye Premium Special Offer ($29.99).

Nineteen of the 50 most recent US App Store reviews (30 June to 24 September 2026) complain about the price, the paywall or trial charges.

BetterSleep

BetterSleep has the most ratings of the 14, 391,000 at 4.7. The listing counts more than 300 sleep sounds and music tracks and a sleep recorder that identifies snoring and sleep talking, and it says it offers auto-renewable subscriptions, which on the listing are BetterSleep Premium ($11.99, $23.99, $39.99 twice, $59.99, $69.99, $99.99), BetterSleep Premium-Tracker ($52.99, $69.99) and Subscription ($69.99). That $99.99 is the highest single price among the 14 apps.

Of its 50 most recent US App Store reviews (26 August to 26 September 2026), 33 complain about the price, and 22 of those are about sounds people used for free that now need a subscription.

SleepScore

SleepScore tracks sleep without contact. It uses sonar through the phone’s speaker and microphone, and its listing adds sleep cycle analysis and a smart alarm. Snore Timeline estimates stages from the recording and has a Smart Wake Up Alarm, both free. SleepScore has 7,500 ratings at 4.4. Its app privacy policy says it doesn’t sell your data to advertisers or use your sleep data to target outside ads, and that it uses sleep data and demographics to train its sleep models for more relevant advice. It stores data in the United States. The listing describes auto-renewing monthly and yearly subscriptions, and the purchases it shows are Premium Monthly (7-day Trial) ($9.99, listed twice), Premium Yearly (7-day Trial) ($59.99), Premium Yearly (Trial) ($59.99), Premium Yearly ($59.99, listed twice), SleepScore Premium Monthly ($9.99) and SleepScore Premium Yearly ($59.99).

Twelve of its 50 most recent US App Store reviews complain about the price, trial charges or refunds, and those reviews span 22 September 2024 to 5 September 2026.

Snollo

Snollo classifies sound on the device with Core ML. It estimates sleep stages with an Apple Watch, or with the iPhone’s microphone and motion sensors when you don’t wear one, per its FAQ. Its privacy policy says sleep data and clips stay in your private iCloud and that its analytics tools get no sleep data or audio. The listing describes an auto-renewing subscription and shows two plans, Monthly Subscription ($5.99) and Annual Subscription ($39.99). It has 16 ratings at 3.1.

Koala Nap

Koala Nap detects snoring and sends a gentle alert through an Apple Watch vibration, an iPhone notification or Bluetooth earphones, so you shift position without waking. Snore Nudge does the same in Snore Timeline, with a sound, an iPhone vibration, a wrist tap or any mix of them, at no cost. The listing includes a 7-day free trial. It sits at 4.4 from 344 ratings. It sells Monthly Subscription ($4.99, $6.99, $9.99) and Yearly Subscription ($24.99, $29.99, $39.99).

Its 50 most recent US App Store reviews reach back to 31 October 2023 and run to 4 July 2026, and eight of them complain about the price or about cancelling the subscription.

Snore Control

Snore Control, from Apirox, detects snoring with AI, records it, and runs a stop-snoring function after two snores in a row; it writes to Apple Health and has 608 ratings at 4.4. It sells Smart Alarms as a $3.99 add-on, where Snore Timeline’s Smart Wake Up Alarm and Snore Nudge come in the free download. Its listing has a subscription information section on auto-renewal. The purchases are Full Version - Monthly ($4.99), Full Version - Yearly ($15.99), Full Version ($31.99), Smart Alarms ($3.99), Sleepy Sounds ($3.99) and Themes ($0.99). That $31.99 “Full Version” has no period in its name. The listing doesn’t state its term either. I checked the Snore Control page on apirox.com too. It describes features and gives no pricing. So I couldn’t confirm whether the $31.99 item is permanent.

Somnio+

Somnio+ (listed as Sleep Apnea Detector - Somnio+) records sleep sounds and marks snoring, sleep talking and long silences as possible breathing pauses. Its listing states that it is not a medical device and does not provide a diagnosis, it declares Data Not Collected, and it has 18 ratings at 3.9. The listing shows Sleep Apnea Detector - Weekly ($9.99), Weekly Special ($4.99), Sleep Apnea Detector - Annual ($29.99) and Annual Special ($14.99).

If you’d rather compare snore trackers by feature, try SnoreLab alternatives or free snoring apps for iPhone.

What a subscription pays for

Section 3.1.2 of Apple’s App Review Guidelines says an auto-renewable subscription has to keep giving the customer ongoing value, and its examples include apps with consistent, substantive updates, large or updated media collections, software as a service, and cloud support. In a sleep app the ongoing cost is servers and accounts. Sound libraries add licensing and new content.

ShutEye and BetterSleep each ship a large sound library. SnoreLab offers audio backup.

Snore Timeline has none of those costs. There’s no server, no account and no sound library to license, and since recording, detection and storage all run on your phone, a new user adds no running cost. How detection works explains what runs on the device.

What to check before you pay

Trial terms

A trial turns into a paid plan unless you cancel. Apple’s support page on cancelling a subscription says to cancel a trial at least 24 hours before it ends if you don’t want it to renew. I’d set a reminder the day you start one. Use the trial nights to check that the app keeps the audio you want, and Getting started covers phone placement for a first night. Among the apps above, SnoreLab (per its FAQ), Koala Nap and SleepScore state a 7-day trial; Sleep Cycle lists a free trial with no length on its listing.

The Purchases line on the privacy label

Sleep Cycle, SleepScore and Snollo declare Purchases as Data Linked to You, BetterSleep declares it both as linked to you and as Data Used to Track You, and Pillow declares it as not linked to you. Any of those means the developer has declared that it collects your purchase history. The four Data Not Collected apps declare nothing, Purchases included.

How to cancel

On an iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, pick the plan, and tap Cancel Subscription; if there’s no Cancel button, or you see an expiration message in red, Apple’s page says the subscription is already cancelled.

Frequently asked questions

Which snoring apps have no subscription?

Four of the 14 snore and sleep apps I checked on the US App Store on 1 November 2026 sell no subscription. Snore Timeline and Snore Recorder - Sleep Monitor have no price and no in-app purchases, while AutoSnore ($4.99) and SnoreClock ($9.99) charge once at download and list no in-app purchases.

Is Snore Timeline free forever?

As of the date at the top of this page, Snore Timeline has no subscription and no in-app purchases, every user gets every feature, and there’s no account or server to pay for.

No developer can promise future prices. The About page explains who builds Snore Timeline and how I date and re-check these guides.

Does SnoreLab have a lifetime purchase?

SnoreLab’s US App Store listing has an in-app purchase called “SnoreLab Premium One-time Purchase” at $7.99, and two items named SnoreLab Premium at $5.99 and $17.99 with no period in the name, and neither the listing nor the FAQ on snorelab.com says any of them gives lifetime access.

For prices, SnoreLab’s FAQ points you to the in-app upgrade screen. The listing’s own text describes subscriptions that renew unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the period ends.

Do one-time-purchase apps collect data?

Not by their labels. AutoSnore and SnoreClock both declare Data Not Collected on the App Store, and each label is the developer’s own declaration.

How you pay doesn’t decide the label. Somnio+ sells subscriptions and declares Data Not Collected, while Snore Recorder - Sleep Monitor sells nothing and declares User Content and Usage Data as not linked to you.

How do I cancel a snoring app subscription?

Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose the subscription and tap Cancel Subscription, and if you started a trial you don’t want renewed, Apple’s support page says to cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
