Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Weight Lifting at freemium against Workout Log's subscription. Weight Lifting also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Workout Log's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (192 vs 34). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Workout Log sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Weight Lifting sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Weight Lifting holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Workout Log has 192 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Workout Log's written reviews are positive against 67% of Weight Lifting's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Workout Log ships an update every 10 days, Weight Lifting every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
