Considered Both Products	Fitbit Verified User Anonymous Chose Fitbit It's quite less expensive than Fitbit Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fitbit I love Apple Health's more advanced and comprehensive approach to health and wellbeing - so personally, I switch over to Apple Health and a Apple Watch recently.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Fitbit The Fitbit is a complement and enhancement at the same time with those products. Incentivized Helpful? EN Edwin Nalukurthi Softtware Engineer Chose Fitbit Apple health is more integrated features. It has many features what fitbit doesnt have. but, the price of fitbit is relatively affordable. Incentivized Helpful? KT Karen Tuecke Partner in Mission Chose Fitbit The cost of Fitbit is much more affordable and more reasonable for the population we serve.

One is the affordability (although we do … Incentivized Helpful?	Virgin Pulse Verified User Anonymous Chose Virgin Pulse n/a Incentivized Helpful? Brandon Johnson Human Resources Information System Analyst Chose Virgin Pulse DESTROYS the competition. I am so happy that Virgin Pulse took over the capabilities that Gilsbar was in charge of due to Gilsbar 's lack of user-friendly, up to date, technology. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Fitbit	Virgin Pulse
Likelihood to Recommend	This is great for someone strictly dedicated to tracking their motions/activity ranges but are not worried about calls, texts or other distractions in that moment. They are a great tool, but in these specific scenarios. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It's well suited for businesses who are looking for a way to approach employee wellness in a fun and fresh manner. It also helps create a little more connection between teams within the business and across other departments. Incentivized Kevin McLennan Relationship Manager Read full review
Pros	Continuous health vital stats monitoring Heart rate and stress level monitoring Personalised, health insights based on captured data Companion to user's mobile devices Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Nothing because [I feel] they are horrible.

Cons	more sync capabilities with Iphone More smart features can be included when compared to apple watch better workout/walking/running calorie recognition Incentivized EN Edwin Nalukurthi Softtware Engineer Read full review	I'd like if the interface was easier to use, it is great the way it is but sometimes it is a little confusing to new users. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	The cost of Fitbit is much more affordable and more reasonable for the population we serve. We do wish that some of the features would be improved and easily navigated as the Apple Health app. We selected Fitbit for multiple reasons. One is the affordability (although we do feel that the price is still a bit high). Another is for the personal knowledge of [our] staff and residents on their overall health and how to improve themselves. In addition, the food tracker and sleep tracker provide extra benefits for the individual. Overall this contributes to the wellness program we have implemented and overall our wellness discount to be applied for our staff and residents.
