Componentry vs WatchMy.Bike

Great component tracking. On the web. Only.

WatchMy.Bike does interesting things — public bike profiles, cost analytics, document storage. But it's web-only with no iOS or Android apps, and Strava is the only way rides get in. Componentry tracks the same components, connects to four platforms directly, and lives natively on your phone.

Choose WatchMy.Bike if you want to showcase bike builds publicly, track cost per kilometre, and store receipts — and a browser-based workflow suits you. Choose Componentry for native mobile apps, four provider integrations, a predicted replacement date for every component, multi-dimension wear, and electronic shifting battery tracking.

Where WatchMy.Bike works well

WatchMy.Bike has genuinely differentiated features: public profile pages for sharing bike builds, a 30,000+ bike model catalog, cost-per-kilometre analytics, document storage for receipts and warranties, and an AI assistant integration via MCP. Its Steel tier is free forever, and its published comparisons of other apps — ours included — are notably fair. For cyclists who want to document builds publicly and track their costs, it's a thoughtful product.

Where Componentry goes further

Strong on what happened, silent on what comes next

WatchMy.Bike is genuinely good at retrospective analytics — cost per kilometre, service history, receipts and warranties. The wear tracking underneath is distance against thresholds you set, which their own FAQ describes plainly. Componentry adds the forward half: watts lost to contamination and chain stretch, a lifespan modelled from your terrain and weather, and a replacement date. These are two halves of the same problem, so it is worth knowing which half you actually want.

No native apps — at all

WatchMy.Bike is web-only: no iOS app, no Android app. For a tool whose job is showing component status after every ride, that matters — cyclists check their phone at the bike stand, not a laptop. Componentry is native on iOS and Android, with a full web app alongside.

Strava only

Like most dedicated competitors, WatchMy.Bike connects through Strava exclusively, so Garmin, Wahoo, and Hammerhead riders reach it through the Strava relay — an extra hop, an extra account, and an extra thing to break. Componentry connects to all four platforms directly, so your rides land wherever they came from.

Distance-only wear

WatchMy.Bike tracks component wear by distance. Componentry tracks distance, moving time, and elapsed duration, enriched with weather data — because how far you rode is only part of what wears a component.

No electronic shifting tracking

Di2, AXS, and EPS batteries aren't covered by WatchMy.Bike. Componentry tracks them alongside your mechanical components, with charge reminders based on your riding.

WatchMy.Bike's Alloy tier is €3.25/month or €39/year, with a free-forever Steel tier for up to 3 bikes — monthly billing arrived in 2026, and prices are close to Componentry's $4.00/month. The difference isn't price: it's native apps, four providers, predicted replacement dates, and battery tracking versus public profiles, cost analytics, and document storage. Pick by workflow.

Switching is a 10-minute job

There is no data lock-in to fight. Connect your Strava, Wahoo, Garmin, or Hammerhead account, add your bikes, and log each component once with its current mileage. From that point every ride updates your components automatically — nothing to migrate, nothing to maintain by hand.

Frequently asked questions

Does WatchMy.Bike have a mobile app?

No — it's web-based, designed to be saved to your home screen from the browser. Componentry ships native iOS and Android apps plus a web app.

How fast does each app sync after a ride?

Both are quick: WatchMy.Bike receives Strava activities on the Strava webhook, and so does Componentry. The difference is reach — Componentry also receives directly from Wahoo, Garmin, and Hammerhead, so riders on those head units never route through Strava at all.

Does Componentry have public bike profiles?

No — WatchMy.Bike genuinely wins here. If public build showcasing is your priority, it's the better tool for that job.

Can I track maintenance costs in Componentry?

You can log service records with notes, but there are no cost-per-kilometre analytics like WatchMy.Bike's. On the flip side, Componentry tracks wear across time and conditions, not just distance.

Can I switch from WatchMy.Bike to Componentry?

Yes — connect your ride provider, add your bikes, and log each component once with its current mileage. About ten minutes, and wear tracking is automatic from there.

Which is cheaper?

They're close: WatchMy.Bike's Alloy is €3.25/month or €39/year against Componentry's $4.00/month, and WatchMy.Bike has a free-forever tier while Componentry has a 2-month free trial. Choose on capability, not price.
