Best Fitbod Alternatives in 2026, Compared

Fitbod is the most expensive general tracker here at $15.99 a month with no free tier, and its generated sessions make it hard to run a program of your own. Hevy replaces it for free, Boostcamp gives you real programs, and Ultra+ adds nutrition and a coach.

Last updated September 11, 2026. Prices and features checked on the vendors' own sites and store listings on that date.

Why people leave Fitbod

Price is the first reason. Fitbod is $15.99 a month or $95.99 a year with no free tier past the trial, and older subscribers were kept on $12.99 and $79.99, which makes the current price feel worse if you know someone paying the old one.

The second reason is control. Fitbod builds each session from your equipment, your goal and which muscles it treats as recovered. That is exactly what you want in a hotel gym and exactly what you do not want when you are eight weeks into a squat progression. The exercise, the order and the set count move, and that makes progressive overload harder to see.

The third is scope. Fitbod does not track nutrition, and its product pages do not list a plate calculator, a previous-set display or a data export, so for a lifter who wants those confirmed, they are unknowns.

The alternatives, in order

Ordered by how well each one replaces Fitbod, not by how much we like it. Prices are the vendors' own, checked on September 11, 2026.

Hevy app icon
1

Hevy

Free workout logbook with routines, a social feed, and a cheap Pro tier that removes the routine cap.

Free: Full logger, no ads, routines capped (Hevy's help centre says four) · $2.99/mo · $23.99/yr

The cheapest way out. Hevy's free tier is a complete logger with no ads and four routines, and Pro is $2.99 a month or $23.99 a year, which is a quarter of Fitbod's yearly plan. It shows your previous workout's numbers while you log, has a plate and warm-up calculator, and runs on Apple Watch, Wear OS and the web.

What you lose is the generator. Hevy will never tell you what to train, so you need a program from somewhere. If you have one, this is a straight saving of about $70 a year.

Where it is strong

  • Free tier covers full logging with no ads
  • Cheapest Pro of the group: $2.99 a month, $23.99 a year, or $74.99 once
  • Apple Watch and Wear OS apps, plus a web app at hevy.com
  • Plate calculator, warm-up calculator, RPE and supersets built in

Where it falls short

  • Free tier caps routines (Hevy's help centre says four)
  • No nutrition or macro tracking
  • No coach in the app: HevyGPT imports a plan from ChatGPT, it does not read your log
  • Progression is on you: it shows last time, it does not say what to do next

Best for: Lifters who want a free, well-made logbook with watch and web apps, and who plan their own progression.

Boostcamp

Free access to 11,000 plus programs, including coach-written ones, with a logger built around following them.

Free: All 11,000 plus programs, 130 plus coach-designed, and the logger · $14.99/mo · $59.99/yr

The answer if you want structure without a generator. Boostcamp carries 11,000 plus programs free, including 130 plus coach-written ones, and runs them as written with the progression schedule built in. Instead of a fresh session every day, you get twelve weeks that make sense together.

The logger includes previous set data, a rest timer, a plate calculator and estimated 1RMs, all free. Pro at $59.99 a year is still $36 less than Fitbod. It has no Apple Watch app, which Fitbod does.

Where it is strong

  • The biggest free program library: nSuns, GZCLP, 5/3/1, PPL, PHUL, plus 130 plus coach programs
  • Programs run as written, with progression built into the template
  • Free tier is not a demo: the programs and the logger cost nothing
  • Plate calculator, rest timer and estimated 1RMs included

Where it falls short

  • No Apple Watch or Wear OS app, and Boostcamp says so on its site
  • Pro at $14.99 a month is pricier than Hevy or Strong; the yearly at $59.99 is the sane option
  • Better at following a program than at freestyling a session
  • Export and nutrition are not listed

Best for: Lifters who want to run a known program (5/3/1, GZCLP, a Helms plan) and have the app handle the progression schedule.

Ultra+

Our app

Hypertrophy and strength tracker for iOS and Android with Blaze, an AI coach that reads your log.

No free tier · $12.99/mo · $74.99/yr

The answer if you liked being given a plan but want it to stay put. Ultra+ generates your first week from your quiz answers before you open the app, using your equipment, injuries and training days, and then you repeat and progress it rather than getting a new session each time. Your previous set and all-time best set show on every set.

It also adds what Fitbod does not have: a food log with barcode scanning and macros, and Blaze, which reads your training and nutrition before it answers. It is $12.99 a month or $74.99 a year, about a fifth less than Fitbod yearly, with no watch app and a smaller 500-exercise library against Fitbod's 1,000 plus.

Where it is strong

  • Previous set and all-time best set shown on every set
  • Blaze reads your workouts, nutrition and bodyweight before answering, and changes the plan only when you ask
  • Nutrition journal with barcode scan and macros in the same app
  • Volume change after each session and a weekly card built from what you actually did
  • A finished first week already in the app from the quiz

Where it falls short

  • No web app
  • No Apple Watch app
  • No program marketplace or library of named programs
  • Newer app with a smaller exercise catalog (around 500) than JEFIT's 1,400 plus
  • No plate calculator and no data export
  • No free tier: a 7-day trial, then paid

Best for: Lifters who have trained for a while, want the number to beat on every set, and want a coach that reads their training and their food before it answers.

Alpha Progression app icon

Alpha Progression

Plan generator plus a weight and rep recommendation for every set, built on 795 filmed exercises.

Free: Unlimited logging, all 795 exercise videos, your own plans, rest timer, records, CSV export · $12.99/mo · $79.99/yr

The closest thing to Fitbod's decision-making at a lower price. Alpha Progression recommends the weight and reps for each set and its plan generator builds a full plan from your goal, days and equipment, but the plan persists instead of being rewritten daily.

Pro is $12.99 a month or $79.99 a year, and the free tier already covers logging, 795 filmed exercises, rest timer, records and CSV export with no ads. Apple Watch is not listed, so you lose that against Fitbod.

Where it is strong

  • A recommended weight and reps before every set, adjusted for fatigue within the session
  • 795 exercises filmed in a real gym
  • Free tier with logging, videos, rest timer and CSV export, no ads, no account
  • Plate and warm-up calculators, periodization and deloads on Pro

Where it falls short

  • Pro is $12.99 a month or $79.99 a year, the same band as Ultra+ and JEFIT
  • No nutrition tracking
  • Apple Watch support is not listed on its site or store page
  • The recommendations come from an algorithm; there is nobody to ask why

Best for: Lifters who want to be told the weight and reps for each set without paying RP prices.

Strong app icon

Strong

A simple, fast logbook for the gym. Free for unlimited workouts with three custom routines.

Free: Unlimited workouts, three custom routines · $4.99/mo · $29.99/yr

The answer if you have concluded you want a tool, not a coach. Strong's logging screen is the fastest here, it has plate and warm-up calculators, and it exports everything to CSV. Unlimited workouts are free with three routines; PRO is $29.99 a year.

It does nothing Fitbod does on the programming side, and that is the point. Take it if leaving Fitbod means you have decided to write your own training.

Where it is strong

  • One of the fastest set-logging screens around
  • Plate and warm-up calculators built in
  • CSV export of everything
  • Apple Watch app, and unlimited workouts on the free tier

Where it falls short

  • Free tier stops at three custom routines
  • No programs or progression logic: it records, it does not plan
  • No nutrition tracking
  • No coach

Best for: Lifters who run their own program from a spreadsheet or their head and want the quickest possible logbook.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Fitbod so expensive?

It is priced for the generator rather than the logger: $15.99 a month or $95.99 a year, with no free tier past the trial. Older subscribers are still on $12.99 and $79.99, which is why quoted prices vary online.

Is there a free alternative to Fitbod?

Hevy and Boostcamp both have free tiers that cover real training. Boostcamp's includes 11,000 plus programs, so it is the closest thing to free structured training on this page.

Which alternative still generates workouts for me?

Alpha Progression's plan generator and per-set recommendations come nearest, and JEFIT Elite has an adaptive plan. Neither rebuilds the session from scratch every day the way Fitbod does.

Can I run a fixed program instead?

That is what Boostcamp is for, and it is free. Ultra+ also keeps one plan in place and shows your previous and best set so you can drive it, rather than replacing the session each time.

Does any of them track nutrition?

Ultra+ includes a food log with barcode scanning and macros. Fitbod does not track nutrition and neither do Hevy, Strong, Boostcamp or Alpha Progression, so with those you are running a second app.

Ultra+ gives you one plan that stays put, with your previous and best set on every set, and your food tracked in the same app.
