WLog vs Strong (2026)

Why choose WLog over Strong?

• Unlimited free routines. Strong's free plan allows 3 templates; a push/pull/legs split uses all three. WLog has no limit on routines, workouts or custom exercises.
• Automatic progression. Give each exercise an increment, such as +5 lb or +2.5 kg. When every set reaches its target reps, the weight goes up next session; miss three sessions in a row and the lift drops 10%. We could not find anything like it on Strong's App Store page or in its help center.
• 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.
• Programs from a photo, PDF or CSV. Import a plan from a camera photo, screenshot, PDF, CSV file or pasted text. A CSV export from Strong is rebuilt into routines. We could not find photo or PDF import in Strong.
• Body measurements logged free. WLog logs body weight and tape measurements on the free plan, with trends and older history in PRO; Strong puts body-part measurements in PRO.
• 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.
• 1,000+ exercises, each with an offline video demo, RPE and RIR, and warm-up, drop, pause, superset and failure sets.

How do WLog and Strong compare feature by feature?

What do you get free on WLog and on Strong?

WLog free: unlimited routines and custom exercises, automatic weight progression and deloads, and the Apple Watch and Wear OS apps, set logging from the lock screen, 1,000+ exercises each with an offline video demo, the rest timer, strength levels, PR tracking, the muscle map, body measurements and progress photos, and Apple Health and Health Connect sync. History and charts cover the last two weeks. PRO adds your full history and trend charts beyond those two weeks, body-measurement trends, session-by-session comparison, the rest of the ready-made program library, automatic warm-up sets, the plate-by-plate loading picture, and cloud backup and sync.

Strong free: unlimited workouts and 3 templates. Strong PRO adds unlimited templates, body-part measurements, all charts, the plate calculator, the warm-up calculator, and custom icons and themes.

Which is cheaper, WLog PRO or Strong PRO?

WLog PRO is $4.99 a month or $24.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. Strong PRO is $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, or $99.99 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 Strong to WLog?

Yes, for your routines: export your workouts from Strong 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. Your past workout history stays in Strong's CSV export: the import builds routines, not past sessions.

Where is Strong ahead?

• CSV export of your workout data.
• A larger rating base: 4.86 from 108,521 US App Store ratings.
• A lower price ($4.99/mo, $29.99/yr) and a lifetime plan ($99.99).
