Where Boostcamp is better
- The program library. Licensed programs from coaches people already follow, against athlate's built-in templates and Rytme plans.
- A program builder on the web with keyboard shortcuts, duplicate week and duplicate day. athlate programs are built in the app on your phone.
- Live Activities on the lock screen while you rest. athlate does not show the rest timer on the lock screen.
- A free tier that gives away the full logger and unlimited own programs. athlate caps free active programs at 10.
- It is out. athlate is still on a waitlist.
Where athlate is ahead
Where athlate is ahead: you can write your own formula in the cell, not only pick a mode; the strength score and muscle map are free; and you can log in the spreadsheet itself.
