WeLift turns every workout into an opportunity to compete, improve, and connect. At its core is a dynamic ranking system that places your lifts on real-time leaderboards. Each time you log a weight or rep, you see where it ranks among athletes with similar age, weight, and experience. You can compare yourself against a global community or narrow the field to nearby lifters and friends. This approach keeps you motivated, pushing you to beat not only your personal bests but also the best in your region or around the world. Logging workouts is effortless. Simply select an exercise from the comprehensive library or create a custom movement, enter weight, sets, and reps, and the app calculates your estimated one-rep max. That value is immediately run through our ranking algorithm to update your position. Over time, you’ll see your progress on intuitive charts that show strength gains, one-rep-max trends, and consistency in your favorite lifts. Each chart can be filtered by date range, exercise type, or body-weight category, so you know exactly how much you’ve improved and what still needs work. Behind the numbers, there’s a vibrant social layer. Follow friends to see their latest lifts, share your own updates, and leave encouragement. When someone tops a lift you’ve recorded, you’ll receive a notification so you can go one step further next time. You can challenge a friend directly: pick an exercise, set a deadline, and see who claims bragging rights. Friendly competition fuels accountability and keeps every training session engaging. The app goes beyond lifting alone. Create and track personalized programs with built-in rest timers to keep your pace consistent between sets. Set weekly training goals—number of workouts, total tonnage lifted, or target one-rep max increases—and receive reminders when you fall behind or when you’re on track. Our algorithm also suggests auto-adjusted weight increases based on your recent performance, so you’re always working at the right intensity. An extensive exercise library includes video demonstrations and coaching tips for form and safety. Each entry lists primary and secondary muscles worked, equipment required, and common mistakes to avoid. Whether you’re using barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, or just your bodyweight, the library covers everything from beginner movements to advanced Olympic lifts. To keep your entire fitness journey in one place, the app integrates seamlessly with HealthKit to import body-weight entries and track workout duration. You can also export your lifting history to spreadsheets or share progress snapshots on social media. Push notifications are fully customizable: get alerted when a friend breaks your record, when a leaderboard resets at midnight, or when it’s time to log today’s workout. Designed for athletes of all levels, the app adapts to you. A newcomer can follow beginner-friendly programs and watch where their lifting ranks in a novice category, while an advanced lifter can take on regional or global elite leaderboards. Every time you open the app, you’re greeted with up-to-date rankings, clear progress charts, and a feed showing friends’ latest accomplishments. There’s no guessing where you stand or how to plan your next workout—everything you need to grow stronger is right at your fingertips.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: WeLift at every 3 days against Setgraph's every 3 weeks. WeLift also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 16.4). Setgraph's advantage is ratings volume (6.2K vs 54) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Setgraph sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and WeLift sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Setgraph holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Setgraph has 6.2K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Setgraph's written reviews are positive against 82% of WeLift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Setgraph ships an update every 3 weeks, WeLift every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
