# Google (web) vs Google Fit (Health Connect) connection?

These are two different [data sources](https://docs.tryterra.co/health-and-fitness-api/integration-setup/setting-up-data-sources), and neither is tied to a specific tracker; both are aggregators that surface whatever apps and devices have written into them.

* **Google (web):** a browser-based auth flow with no app code, pulling whatever sits in the user's Google account.
* **Google Fit (Health Connect):** reads from Android's Health Connect store and requires the [Mobile SDK](https://docs.tryterra.co/health-and-fitness-api/mobile-only-sources) embedded in your app (SDK-only, no web flow).

**Use Google (web) if you have no mobile app, and Health Connect via the SDK if you do.**
