BellPace helps you stay focused on training instead of counting. Use your iPhone camera to track reps in real time, monitor your pace, and review detailed session stats after every workout. Built for serious kettlebell training, the app is designed to make live tracking simple, clear, and useful during every session. One of its standout features is overhead fixation tracking, a championship-style counting mode built for athletes who train to higher competition standards. When enabled, a rep is validated only after a stable, controlled overhead lockout, helping you train not just for volume, but for precision, control, and clean technique. With a clean, focused interface built for training, BellPace makes it easy to start a session, follow your numbers live, and review your results when you're done. What you can do with BellPace: Track reps live during your workout Monitor pace and RPM throughout the session Use optional overhead fixation rules for stricter rep validation Adjust fixation timing and angle thresholds to match your training needs Review session summaries with key stats Save workout history and compare progress over time Choose performance modes to balance accuracy and battery usage Train with a simple, distraction-free experience BellPace is built for athletes who want a practical training companion today, with more movement support and advanced features planned over time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BellPace at none against Sharp Blade's 1. BellPace also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). Sharp Blade's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
