Two of the best-rated lifting apps, and the choice comes down to the free tier, the Apple Watch, and whether you want other people in your log.

Hevy is free to log with, but three caps decide whether you will ever pay: 4 routines, 7 custom exercises, and only 3 months of graph history.

Read →JEFIT alternative: no ads, no Elite tier, guides that work offline
