Teams replace a fitness or health API for a few recurring reasons: a deprecation or migration, an access-approval barrier, cost or a membership requirement, missing data, or wanting one integration instead of many. Each page below is anchored on a specific product — why builders look for an alternative, the realistic options, and which one fits — with links to the full side-by-side comparisons.

Frequently asked questions

Why do teams switch fitness APIs?
The usual triggers are a deprecation or migration (Google Fit is winding down; the legacy Fitbit Web API is moving to the Google Health API), an access barrier (Garmin's developer program needs Garmin's approval, now as Starter and Enterprise Access), cost or a membership requirement (Oura, WHOOP), missing data or platform coverage, or wanting one integration instead of many. Each alternatives page below walks the specific trigger and the realistic options.
What's the fastest way to cover many wearables at once?
Use a health-data aggregator (Terra, Junction/ex-Vital, Rook, Spike): one integration and one webhook normalizes data from many devices, so you don't build and maintain a separate integration per provider. The trade-off is a recurring cost, and for some providers you still register your own developer credentials.
Are these alternatives drop-in replacements?
Rarely. Different providers expose different data, auth models, and access requirements, so a switch usually means re-doing OAuth, re-mapping fields, and asking users to reconnect. The alternatives pages flag where a move is genuinely easy versus where it's a real re-integration.
