Compare Ultra+ with other workout apps
Ten workout apps, compared on the things that decide it: what the free tier really includes, whether anything plans your training, whether food is in the same app, and what it costs a year. Every figure comes from the vendor's own site.

Ultra+ against each app
Each page covers the same ground: what the two apps actually do differently, what each one costs, who should pick which, and the questions people ask before they switch.
- Ultra+ vs HevyHevy is free, fast and has Apple Watch, Wear OS and a web app, so it wins on price and on where you can use it.
- Ultra+ vs StrongStrong is the quickest way to record a set and it exports your whole history as a CSV.
- Ultra+ vs FitbodFitbod decides your session for you each day from your equipment, your recovery and what you trained last.
- Ultra+ vs RP HypertrophyRP Hypertrophy is the Renaissance Periodization method as software, with mesocycles that adjust from your pump and soreness feedback.
- Ultra+ vs Alpha ProgressionAlpha Progression tells you the weight and reps to use before each set, and its free tier already includes logging, 795 filmed exercises and CSV export.
- Ultra+ vs JEFITJEFIT has the biggest exercise library here at 1,400 plus, plus Apple Watch and Wear OS apps and a free tier that carries ads.
- Ultra+ vs BoostcampBoostcamp is the cheapest way to run a named program properly: 11,000 plus of them, including coach-written plans, all free.
Comparisons without Ultra+
These three are the ones people ask about most, and Ultra+ is not the answer to any of them. Each page says so, then explains where Ultra+ would sit if you want it.
Looking to replace one app
Each of these ranks the apps that replace one specific tracker, starting with why people go looking in the first place.
- Hevy alternativesMost people leave Hevy for one of three reasons: they hit the four-routine cap, they want food tracking in the same app, or they want something that plans their training instead of only recording it.
- Strong alternativesStrong is the fastest logging screen in lifting and exports everything to CSV, but the free tier stops at three routines and the app deliberately does no programming.
- Fitbod alternativesFitbod 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.
- RP Hypertrophy alternativesRP Hypertrophy costs $34.99 a month or $299.99 a year, has no free trial, and runs one methodology.
- Alpha Progression alternativesAlpha Progression is one of the best pure training apps at this price, so people usually leave for something it is missing rather than something it does badly: nutrition tracking, a watch app, coach-written programs, or somebody to ask why a recommendation is what it is.
- JEFIT alternativesPeople leave JEFIT for the same two reasons: the free tier's ads, and how many taps it takes to log a set.
- Boostcamp alternativesBoostcamp gives away more programming than any app here, so people rarely leave over price.
- The best workout tracker appsAll ten ranked, with the category each one actually wins.
Frequently asked questions
Which workout tracker should I use?
Hevy if you want the best free logbook, Boostcamp if you want to run a named program for nothing, Ultra+ if you want your training and your food in one app with a coach that reads your log. The roundup ranks all ten with the reasoning.
How often are these comparisons updated?
Every price and feature on these pages was read from the vendor's own site or store listing on September 11, 2026, and the date is printed on each page. They are reviewed monthly, because app prices move without notice.
Are these comparisons biased towards Ultra+?
Ultra+ is our app, so judge for yourself. What we can say is that every page names what Ultra+ does not have: no free tier, no web app, no Apple Watch app, no data export and around 500 exercises. The roundup puts Hevy first.
Do you take money from any of these apps?
No. There are no affiliate links on these pages and no app paid to be included or ranked.
Ultra+ shows your previous set and your best set on every set, and tracks your food in the same app.
