# HealthLog vs SmartBP

> Choose SmartBP if blood pressure is your main measurement and you want Apple Watch, iPad or Android support or several profiles; choose HealthLog if you log blood pressure alongside blood sugar, weight and pulse on iPhone and want notes and tags on each reading. Both accept manual entry from any monitor and both export PDF and CSV reports. SmartBP can also sync from Apple Health or Google Fit. HealthLog reads from Apple Health only if you allow it, needs no account, and saves entries in an encrypted file on the device with optional iCloud sync. Both have paid tiers: SmartBP Premium is a yearly subscription, and HealthLog Premium is weekly, monthly or a lifetime purchase. Both are logs, not medical advice.
