Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: StrengthLog at 3.7K against Gymguru's 4. Gymguru's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). 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. StrengthLog sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $16.90 per month and Gymguru sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for StrengthLog against 5.0 for Gymguru. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StrengthLog has 3.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of StrengthLog's written reviews are positive against 100% of Gymguru's.
StrengthLog ships an update weekly, Gymguru every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
