Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Hevy at weekly against Trybe's every 6 weeks. Hevy also leads on ratings volume (94K vs 722) and review sentiment (98% vs 77%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Trybe sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Hevy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Trybe against 4.9 for Hevy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hevy has 94K ratings behind it against 722, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of Trybe's written reviews are positive against 98% of Hevy's.
Trybe ships an update every 6 weeks, Hevy weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
