Depth where your training needs it.
Food, recovery, body comp, and bloodwork, read by one coach.

Cronometer went deep on one layer, the food data. Augur went deep on the whole athlete: food, recovery, body comp, and bloodwork, with one coach that reads all of it.
Augur tracks micronutrients too: 20 from USDA data, the ones most athletes act on. But its depth went somewhere else, into the data around the food log and a coach that reads it together.
Apple Health brings in sleep, resting heart rate, and HRV from whatever wearable you use, and Strava adds workouts. Photograph an InBody or DEXA printout and the metrics are read, reviewed, and trended. Upload a lab report and your biomarkers are trended across draws.
Then you ask, and the coach answers with your numbers, so you are not the one connecting your ferritin trend, your sleep, and your protein intake across three charts. The coach never diagnoses and never gives medical advice; bloodwork shows only what your lab printed.
Micronutrient depth. Cronometer tracks 80 or more nutrients from curated, lab-sourced databases such as NCCDB. If you are managing a specific deficiency or following a clinical protocol, that precision is what it is built for.
Its data-quality standards run through the whole product. It also runs on Android and the web, has a free tier, and Gold costs less than Augur: $59.99 per year or $10.99 per month.

| Recovery data | Sleep, resting heart rate, and HRV via Apple Health; used by the coach | Activity syncing, not recovery-aware coaching |
| Body comp scans | Photograph an InBody or DEXA printout; read, reviewed, and trended | Manual biometric entry |
| Bloodwork | Photo or PDF lab reports, read and trended (lab-printed values only) | Manual biometric entry |
| Connect to Claude (MCP) | Yes | No |
| Platforms | iPhone | iPhone, Android, web |
| Price | $199.99 per year, 14-day free trial | Free tier; Gold $59.99 per year or $10.99 per month |
Pick Cronometer if micronutrient precision is the point, you need Android or web, or you want a free tier.
Pick Augur if the question you care about is whether your fueling is helping your training, answered by a coach that sees your food, recovery, body comp, and bloodwork at once.
For micronutrient depth alone, Cronometer: 80 or more nutrients from curated, lab-sourced data. Augur tracks 20 from USDA data, the ones athletes act on most, and puts its depth into recovery, body comp, and bloodwork.
Yes, as manual biometric entries. Augur reads them from a photo or PDF of the report and trends them across draws, showing only the values, units, ranges, and flags the lab printed.
Augur reads sleep, resting heart rate, and HRV from Apple Health, and the coach and plateau detection use them. Cronometer focuses on the depth of the food data rather than recovery-aware coaching.
