Hevy vs Boostcamp.

Hevy vs Boostcamp at a glance

TL;DR: Pick Hevy for the fastest logger, the biggest social feed and a cheap $74.99 lifetime; pick Boostcamp for its huge free library of proven coach programs (5/3/1, nSuns, PPL) with no paywall.

Hevy and Boostcamp look similar on the store — both log your lifts on your phone — but they solve different problems. Hevy is a best-in-class workout logger: the fastest set entry, a 14M+ social feed and deep history, all at the cheapest price in the category. [3] Boostcamp is a program-follower first: it hands you 130+ proven coach-designed programs for free and wraps clean logging around them. [4]

Neither is a wrong answer. The right pick comes down to one question: do you want the leanest possible logger with a community and a lifetime price (Hevy), or do you want to follow a proven coach's program for free (Boostcamp)?

Pricing compared: Hevy vs Boostcamp

Answer: Hevy is far cheaper on paid tiers — $2.99/month, $23.99/year, or $74.99 lifetime — while Boostcamp Pro is $14.99/month or $59.99/year. But Boostcamp is more generous where it counts most: its entire library of proven coach programs is free with no paywall, so most people never need to pay at all.

These two price very differently because they sell different things. Hevy charges a small fee to unlock a better tracker, and its $74.99 lifetime unlock is one of the best values in fitness — pay once, own it. [1] Boostcamp gives away the thing most people want — proven programs — for free, and charges only for advanced analytics. [4] Boostcamp Pro is notably pricier per month, but you only reach for it if you want the extra data; the training content itself is free. [5] Hevy free is capped at 4 routines, 7 custom exercises and 3 months of stats. [2]

Programs & logging

Answer: Boostcamp wins on programs — 130+ proven coach-designed programs (5/3/1, nSuns, Eric Helms, PPL) plus 11,000+ community programs, all free. Hevy wins on pure logging speed and flexibility. Boostcamp's logging is capable — rest timers, plate calc, RPE/RIR, supersets, mid-workout swaps — but built around following a program rather than freestyling.

If you want a coach's plan handed to you, Boostcamp is unmatched: it ships famous, battle-tested programs from names like Jim Wendler, Eric Helms and Alberto Nuñez for free, and logging happens inside that structure with rest timers, a plate calculator, RPE/RIR, supersets and drop sets, and the ability to swap exercises mid-workout. [4] Hevy is the better tool if you build your own sessions and want the fastest, cleanest set entry, with progressive overload handled by Hevy Trainer on Pro. [3] In short: Boostcamp for following a proven program, Hevy for freestyle logging.

Community & analytics

Answer: Hevy has the bigger community — a 14M+ athlete social feed you can follow and share to. Boostcamp's community shows up as 11,000+ shared programs rather than a feed. On analytics, Hevy's are solid out of the box; Boostcamp's best analytics — Strength Score and a per-muscle volume heatmap — sit behind Pro, and its standalone tracking is lighter than a dedicated tracker.

Hevy treats lifting as social: a 14M+ feed for following friends, liking workouts and saving routines is a real motivator. [3] Boostcamp's community is content-shaped instead — a huge pool of community programs you can pick up and run. [4] On analytics, Hevy gives you solid charts and history for free, while Boostcamp reserves its standout data — a Strength Score and a per-muscle volume heatmap, plus personalized and exclusive coach programs — for Boostcamp Pro. [5] Being program-first, Boostcamp's plain tracking is lighter than a dedicated logger like Hevy.

Platforms

Both are phone-first for live logging. Hevy ships iOS, Android and an Apple Watch app, plus a web presence at hevy.com for building routines and reviewing analytics — though the actual session still happens on the phone or watch. [3] Boostcamp is iOS and Android only, with no Apple Watch app and no web logging. [6] Neither offers full live workout logging in a browser — that's the one gap the web-first option below fills.

When to pick Hevy

Answer: Pick Hevy if you want the fastest logger, the biggest social feed in lifting, and the cheapest price with a $74.99 lifetime unlock.

• You want the fastest logger — Hevy's set entry is best-in-class. [3]
• Community motivates you — its 14M+ feed is the biggest in mainstream lifting.
• Price matters — $23.99/year or $74.99 lifetime is hard to beat. [1]
• You build your own sessions and want flexible, freestyle logging.

When to pick Boostcamp

Answer: Pick Boostcamp if you want to follow a proven coach-designed program — 5/3/1, nSuns, PPL — completely free, with structured logging built around it.

• You want proven programs free — 130+ coach programs, no paywall. [4]
• You'd rather follow than freestyle — logging is built around the plan.
• You like famous templates — 5/3/1, nSuns, Eric Helms, PPL are all in.
• You value structured features — rest timers, plate calc, RPE/RIR, supersets.

The web-first alternative: Nishaana

Answer: Both Hevy and Boostcamp are phone-first for live logging, and Boostcamp is iOS and Android only. Nishaana runs the full workout tracker in any browser on desktop or phone with no app-store download, adds free 1RM, TDEE and macro calculators plus free auto-progression and built-in programs, and imports your Hevy or Strong history in about a minute. It's a genuine third option if the phone-only model is what's holding you back.

If neither phone-first model fits — maybe you plan programming on a laptop, use a shared gym computer, or just don't want another app on your phone — Nishaana is worth a look. The whole tracker lives in the browser: warm-ups, working sets, rest timers and notes all happen in a tab, on desktop or phone, from one account. It ships free 1RM, TDEE and macro calculators, free basic auto-progression, a daily 0–100 training score for consistency, and built-in programs like PPL, 5x5, 5/3/1 and Upper/Lower.

We're honest about the trade-offs: Boostcamp's free coach-program library and Hevy's social feed and $74.99 lifetime price are all real strengths Nishaana doesn't try to out-hype — we're newer, with a smaller community, and our Apple Watch and Wear OS support is still on the roadmap. But if browser access is the deciding factor, it's a fair third choice — and moving over is easy.
