Where StrengthLog is better
- More than twice as many exercises, and years of guides and strength standards on its website.
- Over 200 programs to pick from. athlate relies on templates and Rytme rather than a big catalog.
- A free tier with no ads and unlimited logging, from a small team that started as a blog in 2011.
- It is out. athlate is still on a waitlist.
Where athlate is ahead
Where athlate is ahead: % of 1RM, RPE, RIR and the muscle map are free in athlate and sit behind Premium in StrengthLog, you can write your own progression formula, and you can import your StrengthLog history from its CSV file.
