WHOOP and Oura compare you to population averages. Kreev uses Z-score statistics against your own historical data. An elite athlete at 42 bpm and a weekend jogger at 72 bpm both get accurate, meaningful scores.
Other platforms give you a number and ask you to trust it. Kreev publishes its scoring methodology and explains every score with a plain-language AI narrative. No black boxes.
WHOOP costs $219+ for a band. Oura costs $299+ for a ring. Kreev costs nothing extra — it uses the Apple Watch sensors you already have. Start for free, upgrade to Sentinel for $3.33/mo.
