WLog vs Hevy (2026)

Why choose WLog over Hevy?

• Unlimited routines and custom exercises, free. Hevy's free plan allows 4 routines and 7 custom exercises. Both free plans limit how far back you can read, not what you can log: Hevy keeps 30-day or 3-month stats history, and WLog shows history and charts for the last two weeks, with older sessions kept and opened by PRO.
• Free automatic progression. WLog applies your increment after a successful session, holds after a miss and deloads 10% after three failed sessions. Hevy Trainer, Hevy's progression feature, is Pro.
• Log a set without opening the app. On iPhone the current set and rest timer sit on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a button that logs the next set (iOS 17 or later); on Android the same button is in a live workout notification. Both are free.
• One tap per set. Every row of the set table is pre-filled from your plan, your progression target or your last session, with last session's weight and reps beside it. Tap the check mark and the set is logged.
• Free Apple Watch and Wear OS apps that work without the phone. Once your routines have synced, the watch starts, runs and finishes a session without the phone nearby.
• Body measurements logged free. WLog logs body weight and tape measurements (neck, shoulders, chest, arms, waist, hips, thighs, calves and more) on the free plan, with trends in PRO. Hevy's free plan tracks body weight and waist only.
• Programs from a photo, PDF or CSV. Import a plan from a camera photo, screenshot, PDF, CSV file or pasted text. We could not find photo or PDF import in Hevy.
• Strength levels, PR tracking and a muscle map, free. Each lift gets a level from Beginner to Elite, scaled to your body weight and age.
• Focused, not social. No feed or followers, just your training.

How do WLog and Hevy compare feature by feature?

Does Hevy have automatic progressive overload?

On Pro. Hevy Trainer builds a program and gives progressive-overload suggestions; Hevy's help center describes it as algorithmic and says it does not rely on AI.

WLog's progression is free. You set the increment per exercise; WLog applies it after a successful session, holds after a miss and deloads after repeated misses. With Global weight increase on, the same exercise goes up in every routine that contains it. More on how it works.

Which is cheaper, WLog PRO or Hevy Pro?

WLog PRO is $4.99 a month or $24.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. Hevy Pro is $2.99 a month or $23.99 a year, or $74.99 once for lifetime access. The core of WLog (unlimited routines, automatic progression and the watch apps) is free, so you may never need PRO.

Can I switch from Hevy to WLog?

Yes, for your routines: export your workouts from Hevy as a CSV file and drop it into AI import, and WLog rebuilds your routines from it. A screenshot or pasted text works too, or you can rebuild them by hand. Past workout history stays in Hevy's CSV export: the import builds routines, not past sessions.

Where is Hevy ahead?

• A social feed with followers and comments.
• A web app.
• CSV export, and import of Strong CSV files.
• A longer free history window: 30-day or 3-month stats history, against the last two weeks on WLog's free plan.
• A larger rating base: 4.92 from 94,421 US App Store ratings.
• A lower price ($2.99/mo, $23.99/yr) and a lifetime plan ($74.99).
