INCREMNT vs Hevy vs Strong vs Fitbod
These are not four versions of the same app. The useful difference is what each one expects you to decide—and what it decides for you.
INCREMNT publishes this comparison. Competitor details come from the linked official product pages, and the recommendations deliberately include reasons to choose another app. Last checked: 19 August 2026.
The short answer
Choose INCREMNT if
You want a structured programme whose next load or repetition target is informed by the training you actually completed.
Choose Hevy if
You want workout logging, progress tracking, shared routines, and a social training experience in one app.
Choose Strong if
You want a focused logger for planning and tracking your own workouts, with Apple Watch support.
Choose Fitbod if
You want an algorithm to generate today's exercises, sets, repetitions, and weights from your profile, history, equipment, and recovery.
What changes between the apps
| Decision | INCREMNT | Hevy | Strong | Fitbod |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Build and follow a programme, then decide what progresses next. | Log workouts, review progress, and train socially. | Record your own routines quickly and flexibly. | Generate a personalised workout for today. |
| Starting point | Your goals, week, equipment, benchmark, or an existing plan. | A saved or shared routine, or a workout you build. | A workout you plan and track. | A generated workout based on profile and recent activity. |
| Progression | Completed exercise history informs the next weight or repetition decision inside the programme. | Previous values, statistics, routines, and training tools support the lifter's decisions. | History, charts, records, and templates support the lifter's own progression plan. | A capability recommender selects weights, sets, and repetitions as part of each generated workout. |
| Apple Watch | Choose a planned session, log sets and rest, and review the workout from the wrist. | Apple Watch support sits alongside Hevy's logging and routines. | Record and control a workout from the wrist; some features still require the iPhone. | Log sets, rest and heart rate on the Watch after starting the workout on iPhone. |
| Social emphasis | Optional feed, sharing, and leaderboards around the training record. | A core product pillar with a feed, profiles, sharing, comparisons, and leaderboards. | Workout tracking and planning are the product emphasis. | Personalised training is the main experience. |
The INCREMNT difference
A programme that remembers why the number is there
INCREMNT sits between a manual logger and a fresh-workout generator. You can build or bring a programme, see the planned work before starting, and keep the same programme identity as sessions accumulate.
After a completed exercise, INCREMNT can recommend increasing weight, building repetitions, repeating the target, or going lighter. The recommendation is tied to the programme slot and compatible completed history rather than a generic rule that every successful session must add weight.
That makes it a fit for lifters who want progression assistance without giving up a stable training block. It is a worse fit if the priority is the largest social community, the lightest possible manual logger, or a newly generated exercise list every day.
