How does LiftLog compare to Hevy?

Logging a set works much the same in both. The pricing, the account, and the social side differ.

Pricing model

LiftLog: Free for 7 days with no card, then one payment at the tier you choose, from $9.99 to $39.99. Every tier unlocks the same app, and Family Sharing is on.

Hevy: Freemium. Hevy Pro unlocks advanced features for $2.99 or $3.99 a month, $23.99 a year, or $74.99 as a lifetime purchase (US App Store, checked 29 October 2026).

Programs

LiftLog: 40 ready-made programs based on well-known routines, plus your own. With a progression scheme (Double progression, Linear, % of training max, or RPE / RIR), each set arrives with the weight to lift.

Hevy: Routines library, share-with-friends programs, large community templates.

Logging a set

LiftLog: A docked keypad that never covers the set you're on. Each row shows last session's numbers, the rest timer starts when you check a set off, and a PR badge appears the moment you beat your estimated 1RM history.

Hevy: Set logging with previous values, a rest timer, and PR tracking, plus an Apple Watch app.

Social

LiftLog: None. It is a tool for training solo. Workout Complete can save a summary image if you want to share one.

Hevy: Friends, social feed, workout sharing.

Privacy and account

LiftLog: No account, analytics, or ads. Workouts stay on your iPhone and every feature works offline. See the Privacy Manifest.

Hevy: Account required for sync and social.

Devices

Questions

FAQ

What is the best Hevy alternative for iPhone?

LiftLog suits lifters who like Hevy's logging but want to skip the account and the social feed. It fills each set from your last session, starts the rest timer when you check a set off, and shows a PR badge the moment a set beats your estimated 1RM history. It has 1,500 exercises with animated demos, 40 ready-made programs that can suggest your next weight, 10 widgets, and 6 Siri actions. It is free for 7 days with no card, then a one-time purchase from $9.99 to $39.99.

Is LiftLog a one-time purchase?

Yes. LiftLog is free for 7 days with no card required. After that you buy it once at the tier you choose: $9.99 (Fair), $19.99 (Good), $29.99 (Generous), or $39.99 (Patron). Every tier unlocks the same app, nothing renews, and Family Sharing is on. If you never buy, your history, charts, and exports stay readable.

How is LiftLog different from GymLogger X?

Both are strength trackers from Lagerland Apps. LiftLog runs on iPhone only and is a one-time purchase after a 7-day trial, with 40 ready-made programs, smart weight suggestions, and 10 widgets. GymLogger X is a separate app with its own Apple Watch app. Pick GymLogger X if you want to log sets from your wrist.

Does LiftLog track me?

No. LiftLog needs no account and carries no analytics, ads, or third-party SDKs. Workouts stay on your iPhone, every feature works offline, and there is no cloud sync. You can export your history as JSON or CSV at any time.
