- The one-time purchase model remains a differentiator against the subscription-heavy health category, appealing to users who dislike recurring costs.
The SWOT
- Decimal-based entry system removes input friction for precise tracking.
- Apple Watch integration reduces session latency by enabling quick logs.
- One-time purchase model avoids recurring subscription fatigue.
- Localizing unit standards for US and international markets would expand the addressable audience.
