Comparison · as of 20 August 2026
WearLink vs ROOK
A wearable data API positioning on integration breadth and fast implementation, with usage-based pricing.
ROOK competes directly with Terra on catalogue size, advertising 400+ integrations and emphasising speed of implementation. Its pricing is usage-based with published tiers framed around active-user bands rather than a flat monthly fee.
Against ROOK, WearLink is not competing on catalogue size — we would lose that comparison and there is no point pretending otherwise. We compete on three things: predictable flat pricing, transparent hosting and provider status, and nutrition plus energy balance in the same API.
If your evaluation is "who supports the most devices", run it and pick ROOK or Terra. If your evaluation includes where the data physically sits, or whether calories-in comes from the same vendor as calories-out, the comparison changes.

When ROOK is the better choice
ROOK's catalogue is far larger
400+ integrations against our 14. If device coverage is your first-order requirement, this comparison is over before it starts.
Their SDKs are published, ours are not yet
Our Swift and Kotlin SDKs work but ship as source — Maven Central and CocoaPods publishing is still in flight. If you want a one-line dependency today, they are ahead.
They have more production mileage
More customers means more edge cases already discovered. We are earlier than they are.
Where WearLink is the better fit
Published pricing you can model without a sales call
Our tiers are on the pricing page. You can build a cost model before speaking to anyone.
DPDP-aligned hosting
For health products, infrastructure location is a compliance input, not a preference. We publish exactly where we run — isolated single-tenant infrastructure with Asia-Pacific (Malaysia) data residency — so your transfer analysis starts from a fact.
Intake and burn in one place
Energy balance needs both sides. Getting them from one vendor against one user record removes a reconciliation problem that otherwise never fully goes away.
