StrengthMark takes the guesswork out of planning and tracking your weight training. Be certain about hitting new personal records, loading the barbell, and how you spend your time in the gym. StrengthMark is made for lifters, whether it's powerlifting, strongman, olympic weighlifting, general strength training, or bodybuilding. Here is how StrengthMark helps you: • AUDIBLE REST TIMER - Starts when you complete a set to match your planned rest time. Use the full screen rest timer to watch the countdown while you're on the lifting platform. • HUGE EXERCISE SELECTION - Create your own or choose from over 900 different exercises for strength training, conditioning, mobility, powerlifting, strongman events, and Olympic lifts to build your workouts. • WEIGHT PERCENTAGES - Use sub-maximal percentages to plan and scale your workouts. • CUSTOM TEMPLATES - Create templates based on existing workouts to repeat and scale a series of workouts. • GIANT SETS - Use giant sets and supersets to add another dimension to your training. • PERSONAL RECORDS + HISTORY - Review your personal records using weights and reps of your favorite exercises like the deadlift, squat, bench press, snatch, clean and jerk, Atlas stone load, and more. For each personal record, you can view the full history of past PRs to get an idea of how you’ve been improving over time. • ONE REP MAX CALCULATOR - Use the one rep max calculator to establish a baseline for a training program.

Optimize your strength training. Powerlift Pro combines sophisticated A.I. training programs, a Workout Tracker/Logger (with History), a variety of weight training tools, and more. It's the only lifting app you need. ◆ Powerlift Pro A.I. Strength Training Programs ◆ Powerlift Pro's A.I. coach creates personalized strength training programs using a combination of human input from Powerlifting Champions and outrageously advanced computer algorithms. Here's how it works: ◆ Custom Program Based On Your Input ◆ Every time you start a powerlifting or powerbuilding program you'll be taken through our A.I. questionnaire. We'll gather all the data we need to structure a perfect plan for you. From training days per week, to one-rep maxes, to your favorite powerlifting accessories, your overall lifting experience, and much more...our technology ensures that your program is perfect for YOU. ◆ Real-Time Workout Adjustments ◆ Before and during each workout our A.I. gathers data and optimizes your workout in real time. Not only is your program structured perfectly for you, it adjusts for you day-by-day as needed to optimize your results. ◆ Meet Day Prep & Max Testing ◆ If you are focusing on a meet or want to re-test your maxes, our A.I. takes this into account and adjusts your programs accordingly. ◆ Weak Point Optimization ◆ Considering your upper and lower body weak points, Powerlift Pro's A.I. adjusts your program to most effectively deal with these weak points and improve your overall strength. ◆ Beyond Powerlift Pro A.I. ◆ Going beyond our A.I. programming, the Powerlift Pro app has all the powerlifting tools you need to be a success in the gym or on meet day. ◆ Workout Tracker and Workout History ◆ Keep tabs on your workout history. ◆ Macros Tracker ◆ Our Simple Macros Tracker is a fantastic way to keep your Calories, Protein, Carbs, and Fat on track for the day. We can't stand complicated Macros trackers, so we designed ours so it's functional and yet so simple. ◆ Max Matrix ◆ The simplest way to track your current and target PR's. ◆ Barbell Plate Calculator and Reverse Barbell Calculator ◆ Take the math and guesswork out of training. It works with any type of bar, LBS and KG plates, and any type of barbell collar. And conveniently choose between LBS or KG. We think it's the best-looking and most functional bar loader tool on the market. ◆ RPE | RIR Calculators ◆ Want to train using with Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and Reps In Reserve (RIR)? With just a few taps you'll instantly know what weight to use for your next set based on Target Reps, Target RPE / RIR and your max for the exercise. Our RPE calculator and RIR calculator are clean and intuitive. You'll love them. ◆ Powerlifting Scores Calculator ◆ Want to see where you stand? We've included a tool with all the important powerlifting scores formulas: DOTS, IPF GL, Wilks-2, IPF, and Old Wilks. Use it to constantly improve! ◆ 1RM Calculator ◆ Our one-rep max calculator goes above and beyond by providing you with eight different one rep max formulas. Check them out and keep pushing your maxes to new limits! ◆ LBS / KG Converter ◆ To make life easier in the gym, we've also included a simple LBS to KG and KG to LBS calculator, and a basic in-app regular calculator. No more guesswork with plates or weights. Plus, for more convenience, our converter shows an approximate conversion calculation and a precise conversion calculation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StrengthMark at none against Powerlift Pro's 12. StrengthMark also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (92% vs 72%). Powerlift Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (315 vs 15). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
