Is Boostcamp Free? What's Free, What's Pro, and What It Costs
Short answer: yes. The program library and the workout tracker are free, with no trial clock and no cap on how many programs you run or build. Boostcamp Pro is an optional upgrade for deeper analytics and exclusive coach programs. Here is exactly where the line sits, and how Pro's price compares to other lifting apps.
The quick answer
Yes, Boostcamp is free. The 14,000+ program library, the full workout tracker, exercise demos, RPE logging, rest timers, PR boards, the Weekly Report and the custom program builder cost nothing, with no time limit and no cap on programs. The plate calculator includes 10 free uses. Boostcamp Pro is optional: $59.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $14.99/month. It adds Personalized Programs, Auto Progression, the Strength Score Level, Max and Balance views, the Muscle Tracker, Exercise Analytics and 20+ exclusive coach programs.

What Boostcamp Pro costs
Both plans are managed through your Apple ID or Google Play account and cancel anytime. If you cancel, your account goes back to the free tier and your training history stays.
How Pro compares to other lifting apps
Boostcamp Pro costs more per year than Hevy Pro or Strong PRO, and it doesn't offer a lifetime plan. What's different is the free tier: Hevy and Strong cap how many routines you can save for free, while Boostcamp's free tier has no program cap and includes a full library of coach-designed programs. AI coaching apps cost more and have no permanent free tier.
| App | Free tier | Paid |
|---|---|---|
| Boostcamp | Program library + full tracker, no cap on programs | Pro: $59.99/yr (7-day trial) or $14.99/mo |
| Hevy | Tracker with a cap on saved routines | Pro: $23.99/yr, $2.99 to $3.99/mo, or $74.99 lifetime |
| Strong | Tracker with a cap on custom routines | PRO: $29.99/yr, $4.99/mo, or $99.99 lifetime |
| StrongLifts 5x5 | None (subscription required to use) | $59.99/yr (7-day trial), $29.99/quarter, or $11.99/mo |
| Caliber | Tracker; structured plans are paid | Caliber Plus: $36 to $72/yr or $6 to $12/mo |
| MacroFactor Workouts | None (7-day trial) | $71.99/yr or $11.99/mo |
| JuggernautAI | None (2-week trial) | $349.99/yr or $34.99/mo |

- You build your own programs and just want to log them. The builder is free with no cap.

- You manage weekly volume per muscle and want the Muscle Tracker heatmap to spot under-trained areas.
- You want one of the 20+ Pro-exclusive coach programs, or a starter plan built for you from a questionnaire.
