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.

MyFitnessPal
- Massive database covers most branded foods
- Connects with many apps and wearables
- Familiar, easy daily logging
- User-submitted entries are often inaccurate
- Free version is ad-heavy with key tools paywalled
MyFitnessPal is the calorie counter most people try first, and its food database is the biggest reason to stick with it. You will find almost any branded or restaurant item. But much of that database is user-submitted, so errors creep in, and the free version leans heavily on ads while many useful tools sit behind Premium. It still works for basic calorie counting, with more friction than before.
