LOG SETS FAST • Weight and reps steppers with a set timer and a workout timer • Add, copy and delete sets without leaving the card • See the reps you need for a new PR before you lift • Notes, RPE, photos and videos on any workout • Plan workouts ahead and start them when you get to the gym KNOW HOW HARD YOU PUSHED • Heart rate from Apple Health, charted across the whole session with a marker for every exercise • Press and drag the chart to read your BPM at any moment • Average, low and peak heart rate, plus active and total energy • A heart-rate chart for every exercise, next to its sets WATCH YOUR PROGRESS • Estimated 1RM and max-weight charts for every exercise, over 3 months, 6 months, a year or all time • Personal records by weight and by reps, with the date you set them • Activity heatmap, weekly volume, muscle focus and a 12-month view • Lifetime stats you pick: total workouts, heaviest lift, current streak, PRs this month and more • Body measurements over time DESCRIBE IT. LIFT IT. • Describe a workout in a sentence, like "heavy push day, 45 minutes, bench focus", and Brolift builds it from your exercise library and loads it into the tracker • Generated on device with Apple Intelligence. Nothing you type leaves your iPhone • Requires Apple Intelligence on a supported iPhone YOURS, PRIVATELY • No account and no sign-up.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brolift at none against Freak Workouts's 2. Brolift also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). Freak Workouts's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
