Grapplers Advantage is the only strength and conditioning app built specifically for BJJ, wrestling, judo, and MMA athletes. Stop following generic lifting programs. Train with a periodized system designed around your competition schedule, recovery, and time on the mat. HOW IT WORKS Pick your phase based on where you are in your season: • GPP — Build general strength and work capacity • Foundation — Develop tissue tolerance and force absorption • Power — Train the stretch-shortening cycle and reactive strength • Peaking — Maximize speed-strength for competition Select your training cadence (3, 5, or 3+optional days), and the app builds your weekly program with calculated weights based on your maxes. FEATURES Personalized Weight Calculations Every set is calculated from your 1RM using proven rep-percentage relationships. Weights are rounded to the nearest 2.5 lbs so you can load the bar and go. Daily Readiness Check-In Log sleep quality, stress, soreness, and nutrition each morning. Your training volume adjusts automatically based on how you feel — so you push hard on good days and recover on tough ones. Full Nutrition & Macro Tracking Set goals for cutting, bulking, or maintaining. Track meals with a built-in food database. Monitor calories, protein, carbs, and fat with visual macro rings. Set goals for cutting, bulking, or maintaining. Your macro targets factor in your training schedule and reported mat time — so your nutrition adapts to how hard you're actually training. Track meals with a built-in food database and monitor calories, protein, carbs, and fat with visual macro rings. Exercise Swaps Not every gym has the same equipment. Swap any exercise for an equivalent movement filtered by your available equipment, muscle group, and fatigue level. Hypertrophy Days Add optional bodybuilding days targeting the muscles you want to grow. Exercises are selected based on your equipment and training goals. BUILT FOR GRAPPLERS This isn't a bodybuilding app with a martial arts label. Every phase, every tempo prescription, and every loading scheme is designed for athletes who need strength on the mat — not just in the mirror. Train longer, train smarter. Our programming manages fatigue across your lifting and mat sessions so your strength work supports your grappling — not competes with it. Smart volume adjustments, readiness-based loading, and exercise selection that prioritizes joint health mean you're building a body that can train for decades, not just months. • Eccentric and isometric training for injury resilience • Plyometric and reactive work for explosive takedowns and sweeps • Periodized peaking for competition prep • Recovery-aware programming that accounts for mat time SUBSCRIPTION Grapplers Advantage requires a subscription after a 14-day free trial. • Monthly: $14.99/month • Annual: $149.99/year (save 17%) Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Arcletic at free with in-app purchases against Grapplers Advantage's subscription. Arcletic also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). Grapplers Advantage's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support 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. Arcletic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per year and Grapplers Advantage sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 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 — 5.0 for Arcletic against 5.0 for Grapplers Advantage. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grapplers Advantage has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
