Compare Fitrockr with Thryve

Overview

Thryve focuses on infrastructure only and sells a wearable API data pipe. You get an API/SDK that harmonizes device data, but you build the actual product — the dashboard, the participant management, the alerting, the security, the data backups, the UI — yourself.

Fitrockr is built differently. Fitrockr is a vertical platform company: the unified wearable API, which supports 700+ device models, is the foundation, but it also adds a plug-and-play, ready-to-use, no-code, flexible platform, workflow engine, flexible configuration and hosting services on top of it. This is where Fitrockr leaves the competition behind. Local cloud hosting, sole data processing, highest security standards, deepest wearable integration, extensive functionality, vast project experience (since 2018) and premium support, just to name a few.
