Workout Tracker / Logger / Planner, Compared: Boostcamp vs Strong, Hevy & Jefit

Boostcamp does everything Strong and Hevy do for logging your lifts — then adds a proprietary Strength Score, a strength-balance radar, and cleaner Training Trends on top. Here is the full breakdown, feature by feature.

Last updated October 15, 2026

The quick answer

For everyday logging, Boostcamp, Strong, and Hevy are all excellent and closely matched — sets, RPE, rest timers, plate math, PRs, and history are covered in all three. Boostcamp pulls ahead on analytics: it is the only one with a proprietary Strength Score that trends over time, a strength-balance radar across the main lifts, and a clean dedicated Training Trends view. Strong's edge is Apple Watch; Hevy's is its social feed and browser-based logging. Boostcamp counters with a web-based program builder and an iOS Live Activity. Jefit, as of its latest AI-first update, no longer surfaces a straightforward manual logger.

None of these apps is a full food logger, and Boostcamp has no macro tracking at all — it stays focused on training. Strong does not track nutrition natively either: it only displays calories and macros synced in from Apple Health. If in-app macro logging matters to you, plan to keep a dedicated nutrition app alongside any of them.

What makes Boostcamp's tracking different

Only in Boostcamp

A single Strength Score — and it moves with you

Boostcamp rolls your logged lifts across 13 exercises in five movement categories into one proprietary Strength Score from 0 to 100, based on the DOTS formula relative to bodyweight and adjusted for age, with a strength level (here, Intermediate) and how you stack up against other lifters.

Every workout nudges the number, and the live delta (that −4.9) tells you at a glance whether you are trending up or backsliding. Strong, Hevy, and Jefit have per-exercise records — none of them give you one composite score that tracks over time.

See exactly where you're strong — and where you're lagging

The Strength Score breaks down across the main movement patterns — squat, deadlift, vertical press, horizontal press, and pull — on a balance radar with a percentage for each.

It is the fastest way to catch imbalances (here, presses trailing the lower-body lifts) and decide what to prioritize next. No other tracker here visualizes strength balance this way.

Down to a 1RM and a level for every main lift

Drill into the Max view for an estimated 1RM on each key lift, each tagged with its own strength level from Beginner to Super Elite. It turns a pile of logged sets into a clear, ranked read on where your strength actually sits.

Training Trends you can actually read

Volume and frequency plotted over 7 days to a full year, on charts that stay legible instead of cramming everything into one busy graph. Spot a deload, a missed stretch, or a volume ramp in a glance — no spreadsheet exports required.

A workout history that's a pleasure to scroll

Every session lands as a clean card with duration, total weight lifted, and PRs called out with a badge — so your history reads like a training log, not a raw data dump. Tap any workout to see best sets per exercise.

Repeat any past session in one tap

Quick Single Workout surfaces your saved and recent sessions so you can repopulate an entire workout — exercises, sets, and weights — instantly. Less tapping at the rack, more time actually lifting.

Everything Strong and Hevy have, too

The Strength Score is the headline, but Boostcamp also ships the staples you expect from a modern logger — so switching costs you nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Does Boostcamp do everything Strong and Hevy do for tracking?

For core workout tracking, yes: logging weight × reps, RPE, supersets and drop sets, a rest timer, a plate calculator, per-exercise PRs, estimated 1RM, and a full workout history are all in Boostcamp. On top of that it adds the proprietary Strength Score, a strength-balance radar, and a dedicated Training Trends view. The main gaps versus a competitor are a native Apple Watch app (Strong, Hevy, and Jefit have one) and in-app nutrition tracking. Boostcamp does have a web app for building programs, though logging your workouts still happens on mobile.

Can you still track workouts manually in Jefit?

As of our August 2026 hands-on testing, the current Jefit app funnels you heavily toward AI-generated plans (its Progressive Overload System) and we could not find a straightforward manual workout logger in the app. Jefit's marketing site still advertises full manual tracking, so there may be a path we missed or it varies by version — but the in-app experience is now clearly AI-first. If a simple, direct manual logger is what you want, Boostcamp, Strong, and Hevy are more predictable choices.

What is the Strength Score, exactly?

It is Boostcamp's proprietary 0–100 score that combines your lifts across 13 exercises in five categories (squat, deadlift, horizontal press, vertical press and pull) into a single number, based on the DOTS formula relative to bodyweight and adjusted for age. It assigns a strength level (Beginner through Super Elite) and tracks how that number changes over time. You can also view it as a balance radar across movement patterns and as a per-lift breakdown. The Score view is free; the Level, Max and Balance views are part of Boostcamp Pro. It is unique to Boostcamp among the apps compared here.

Is Boostcamp free?

Yes — core workout logging, the full history, and the programs library are free and ad-free. Boostcamp PRO unlocks unlimited use of some tools that the free tier caps (the plate calculator has 10 free uses, the warm-up sets generator 5, and the in-workout Muscles Worked sheet 10), plus deeper analytics such as the Muscle Tracker, Exercise Analytics and Training Trends. The rest timer is free with no limit. Pricing is verified at checkout.

Does Boostcamp have an Apple Watch app?

No — this is a real gap compared to Strong and Hevy. Boostcamp instead uses an iOS Live Activity, so your current exercise, set and rest countdown show on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while you train. If wrist-based logging is essential to you, that is a fair reason to weigh the alternatives.
