Strong in short

A plain log with an Apple Watch app and a one-time Forever purchase. The downside: the free tier caps templates at 3, and we found no import from other apps.

Boostcamp in short

The free program library is the biggest of the loggers here. The downside: no watch app, and the monthly Pro price is high next to Hevy or Strong.

If a game is what you are missing

Neither app has a game layer. We make GYM RPG, which logs the same sets, reps and weight and adds XP, a skill tree and a party boss. It is not a drop-in for either app, because we have no import tool and you would start fresh.
