Strengths and weaknesses
Brolic
- Free with no ads and nothing locked
- Leaderboards by country, city and weight class
- Community voting keeps fake lifts off the boards
- No AI-generated programs or coaching
- iPhone and iPad only
Brolic is a quick workout logger with a twist: every lift has a leaderboard, worldwide or narrowed to your country, city or weight class, and it shows exactly what you need to pass the next person. Other lifters can vote on suspicious numbers, which keeps the boards more honest than most. Programming tools are lighter than Hevy or Fitbod, but logging is fast and everything is free.

Hevy
- Generous free plan with unlimited workout logging
- Quick, clear logging screen mid-workout
- Active community for routines and motivation
- Free plan caps the number of saved routines
- Less hand-holding than coaching apps like Fitbod
Hevy is the best workout tracker for most lifters. Logging sets is fast, rest timers and previous numbers sit right where you need them, and the free plan is unusually generous. A social feed lets you follow friends and copy their routines. Hevy Pro unlocks unlimited routines and deeper analytics. The main catch is that it tracks your training rather than planning it, so you bring the program.
