# Hevy vs OverLoad

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hevy at 103K against OverLoad's 25. Hevy also leads on chart position (#29 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hevy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and OverLoad sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 5.0 for OverLoad. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hevy has 103K ratings behind it against 25, 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 92% of OverLoad's.

Hevy ships an update weekly, OverLoad every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
