Pull-Up Trainer takes you from wherever you are today โ€” even zero unassisted reps โ€” to 20 strict pull-ups, using the proven Armstrong Pull-Up Program with the rough edges fixed. Most pull-up apps just count. This one coaches. THE PROGRAM, DONE PROPERLY โ€ข A real 5-day week: max-effort day, pyramid day, grip-switch training sets, max day, and a "repeat your hardest day" finisher โ€” the actual Armstrong structure, not a watered-down copy. โ€ข Pyramid rest scaling that adjusts to the set you just finished, so you recover exactly as much as the program intends. โ€ข Training-set calibration: the app learns your repeatable, sub-failure number and adjusts it up when it's easy and down when you stall. START FROM ZERO โ€” WITH A BAND Can't do a pull-up yet? Start with a resistance band and do real pull-ups from day one. Pull-Up Trainer walks you down a clear path of less and less help โ€” both feet in the band, one foot, one knee, a lighter band, negatives, and finally your first unassisted rep โ€” based on your reps and sets, not band colour (which no two brands agree on anyway). The moment you get that first bare-bar rep, it hands you onto the full program. You watch your strength climb as the help comes off. A REST TIMER THAT REACHES YOU The rest timer keeps counting when you leave the app or lock your phone, and sends a Time-Sensitive alert the moment your break is over โ€” so it cuts through Focus and Do Not Disturb, and you never sit around guessing. Choose silent, sound, or haptic cues so you can train anywhere. A SAFETY NET THE ORIGINAL NEVER HAD โ€ข Overtraining guard: detects stalls and regressions and recommends a deload before you dig a hole. โ€ข One-tap injury/illness reset: rebuild back to full volume on a sane ramp instead of guessing. HONEST PRICING Free for 21 days โ€” the whole app, no crippling. Finish the 21-Day Challenge and lock in a discounted one-time unlock; otherwise a simple one-time unlock. Pay once, own it forever. No ads. No subscription. Ever. Your training history stays viewable even if you never buy. Built by a lifter who wanted the pull-up app that didn't exist. Clean, fast, and focused on one thing: getting you to 20.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CrossFit Salvation at none against Pull's 2. CrossFit Salvation also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Pull's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price there is nothing between them.
