# Hevy vs Gymguru

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hevy at 102K against Gymguru's 4. Hevy also leads on chart position (#32 vs unranked). Gymguru's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hevy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 Hevy against 5.0 for Gymguru. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hevy has 102K ratings behind it against 4, 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 100% of Gymguru's.

Hevy ships an update weekly, Gymguru every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
