# Hevy vs Boostcamp

Hevy and Boostcamp both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 98% of Hevy's written reviews are positive against 60% of Boostcamp's. Hevy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (100K vs 11K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hevy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Boostcamp sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 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 — 4.9 for Hevy against 4.9 for Boostcamp. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hevy has 100K ratings behind it against 11K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 98% of Hevy's written reviews are positive against 60% of Boostcamp's.

Hevy ships an update weekly, Boostcamp fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
