Waterie vs WaterllamaA Waterllama alternative for iPhone and Android

Waterllama is a popular water tracker for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, but there is no Android version. Waterie is a hydration tracker for both iPhone and Android, with every drink counted on the free plan and a companion who reacts to your day, or roasts you if you let it. Here is how the two compare.

Why choose Waterie

  • It runs on Android as well as iPhone, so it works if you, or the people you share it with, use both.
  • Every built-in drink and its hydration value is on the free plan, including Thai favourites like Thai tea, oliang and pink milk.
  • Your companion has a voice. Pick Roast and Plip or Plop teases you into drinking, or pick Friendly for warm encouragement. Both are free.
  • Photo logging: point your camera at a drink and Waterie identifies it.
  • No drink counts for more than its volume, so your progress only shows fluid you actually drank.

Who Waterie is for

Waterie is for people who want a hydration tracker on Android, or on both Android and iPhone, and for anyone who drinks plenty besides water and wants all of it counted without paying.

It is also for people who ignore polite reminders. Pick the Roast voice and Plip or Plop will tease you until you drink. If you would rather be encouraged, the Friendly voice does that instead, and you can switch any time.
