FitPlot is a private, everything-in-one-place fitness tracker for people who log every set, mile, round, and hold. Log every kind of workout, capture body measurements with the front or LIDAR camera, and watch your progress in a chart-first Performance view. Your workouts, measurements, and body data never leave your device. Log workouts fast. Tap Workout Session and FitPlot creates today's session automatically. Add exercises from a picker of names you've already used — a returning Bench Press, 5K row, AMRAP, or weighted plank all come pre-populated with last week's numbers, so you only type what actually changed. Every set is independent, so if you drop weight when redlining on set 3 the volume math still comes out right. Save an exercise and the session lands in your history with real start and end timestamps. Four exercise types, one workout log. **Resistance Training** captures sets, reps, weight, and one-rep max. **Cardio** covers Walking, Hiking, Running, Cycling, Rowing, and Other — with fields for duration, distance, steps, heart rate, calories, and additional weight carried (for rucking or weighted vests). **Circuit** logs AMRAP and for-time WODs as rounds plus partial reps. **Isometric** captures hold time per set for planks and wall sits, with resistance weight when you use it. Type is picked once per exercise name; returning names skip the picker. Measure your body without a tape. The front-camera scan uses pose detection and a body-mask to estimate every major circumference — neck, chest, waist, stomach, hip, upper arm, forearm, thigh, calf — plus a body-fat percentage using the U.S. Navy formula when you've provided your biological sex. On iPhone Pro models the Lidar scanner adds true depth for a more accurate reading. Voice-triggered — say "measure" and the scan starts hands-free. Chart everything. The Performance view plots exercise volume (weight times reps, per set, summed across the workout) over time, with orange callouts on workouts where your working weight changed. Switch the picker to any measurement — Chest, Waist, Body Fat, Shoulder Width — to graph body-composition trends the same way. Ties into Health. Each completed session writes an HKWorkout to Apple's Health app with duration and estimated active energy, so your Move and Exercise rings reflect what you actually did. Cardio subtypes route to the matching activity in Fitness — a hike logs as Hiking, a run as Running, a ruck on flat ground as Walking with the pack weight factored into calories — instead of collapsing every session into a single generic type. FitPlot Pro. A monthly subscription that removes every ad, unlocks CSV export of your workouts and measurements for use in a spreadsheet, and adds LIDAR camera access plus 3D body rendering on devices equipped with LIDAR. What's included: Workout Session — log lifts, cardio, circuits, and holds. Workouts — browse and review previous sessions. Scan — front-camera body measurement, rear-camera scan on LIDAR-equipped iPhones. History — every measurement you've captured, with swipe-to-delete. Performance — Swift Charts–based graphs for every metric. Operator Manual — a built-in guide covering every screen. FitPlot Pro — Auto-Renewable Subscription Title / duration: FitPlot Pro, monthly subscription. Price: $0.99 / month. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FitPlot at 5.0 against Gym Diary's 4.3. Gym Diary's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (125 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. Gym Diary sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and FitPlot sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FitPlot holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gym Diary has 125 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Gym Diary ships an update every 3 weeks, FitPlot every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
