Hevy alternatives
Hevy is a good tracker, but it isn't for everyone. Here's what else is out there, honestly and with prices. I'm first because it's my site — the rest get the same treatment: facts.
Prices and plans as of October 2026, in US dollars. They may differ in other countries and in newer versions.
Why people look for a Hevy alternative
Usually for three reasons: free Hevy caps your own routines and how far back the charts go, Hevy Trainer builds a plan with an algorithm but doesn't answer questions about your history, and it's another app to open at the gym.
- 1
Athlete Diary
Price: free, no paid plans
A workout diary in Telegram and on iPhone with one shared log. A set is a line,
100 8, or a voice message; I work out tonnage, records and e1RM. The AI coach answers from your history, builds a program by days and reviews videos of your sets. History from Hevy, Strong and spreadsheets comes over as a file.Good for: people who want to log in Telegram or on iPhone and ask a coach about their own diary — without a subscription
- 2
Strong
Price: free version; Strong PRO — $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year
A minimal tracker for iPhone and Android. Free gets you unlimited workouts and up to 3 custom templates. CSV export, yes; an AI coach and import aren't in the description.
Good for: people who want a simple, fast log with nothing extra

Fitbod
Price: $15.99 a month or $95.99 a year, 7-day trial
An algorithm builds today's workout from muscle recovery, history and equipment. It pulls workouts in from Apple Health and Strava.
Good for: people who don't want to run their own program and will pay for a ready workout every day
- 4
JEFIT
Price: free with ads; JEFIT Elite — $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year
An old, big tracker with a library of hundreds of exercises with videos and animations, community routines and an AI plan for your goal and equipment.
Good for: people who want a huge exercise library and community programs
- 5
Boostcamp
Price: free; Boostcamp Pro — $59.99 a year or $14.99 a month
A library of ready programs from well-known coaches, with a tracker. Free gets you the programs, tracker, RPE and RIR, rest timers and PRs; Pro adds exclusive programs, a strength score and deeper analytics.
Good for: people who want to run a well-known ready-made program

A spreadsheet in Excel or Google Sheets
Price: free
Full control and no apps: a row per set, your own formulas. The downside — awkward to fill in between sets, and you do all the math yourself. My template is laid out so you can later upload it to the diary without edits.
Good for: people who love spreadsheets and want to keep the data themselves
Switching
Hevy history moves as a CSV file: Settings → Export & Import Data — the file arrives by email. How to upload it here is step by step on the switch from Hevy page.
Try me first — switching takes a couple of minutes, and you can undo the import any time.
