See the changes the mirror misses. MuscleTrack puts progress photos, before & after comparisons, body measurements, workouts, and strength tracking in one app, so you see the full story of your progress, not just a number on the scale. Whether you are building muscle, losing fat, or working through a body recomposition, MuscleTrack gives you clear visual and measurable evidence of how far you have come. SEE YOUR TRANSFORMATION Capture progress photos from the front, side, back, or a specific muscle angle. Compare any two photos with an interactive before-and-after slider to reveal changes that are difficult to notice from day to day. Browse your complete photo timeline and organize photos by pose or muscle focus. TRACK BODY MEASUREMENTS Record changes across your body, including: • Neck • Shoulders • Chest • Waist • Arms and forearms • Hips • Thighs and calves • Caliper measurement sites Use the interactive body map to select an area, review its measurement history, and follow changes over time.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MuscleTrack at none against Progress's shown. Progress's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
