# Stronger vs Simple Workout Log

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Workout Log at 100% against Stronger's 49%. Simple Workout Log also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Stronger's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (18K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stronger sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Simple Workout Log sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple Workout Log holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stronger has 18K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Stronger's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Workout Log's.

Stronger ships an update every 3 days, Simple Workout Log every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
