Looking for a weightlifting app with AI but prices are holding you back? You're not alone. Between monthly, annual subscriptions and "lifetime" offers, it's hard to navigate.
After 15+ years of coaching, I analyzed the pricing of the main apps on the market to help you make the right choice.

| Strong | ~$5/mo | ~$30/yr | ~$99 | Limited (3 routines) |

Detailed Analysis by App
Fitbod: The Most Expensive
Fitbod Cost Over 3 Years
- Annual subscription: ~$240-288
- Or lifetime (when available): ~$360
Fitbod justifies its price with its muscle fatigue adaptation algorithm. However, many users report inaccurate weight suggestions and lack of personalization after the first few weeks.
Strong: The Minimalist Tracker
Strong Pro costs about $30/year, which is reasonable. But note: Strong doesn't generate programs. It's a logging tool, not a coach. You need to bring your own program.
Hevy: Social at Low Cost
Hevy is the cheapest option with its community aspect. The free version allows 4 routines, but like Strong, Hevy doesn't create personalized programs - it records them.
