Mobela vs Hevy
Updated
Which is better, Mobela or Hevy?
If you also run or walk, Mobela is the better choice: it logs your lifts and maps your runs and walks in one free app, with an AI coach (Bela) that plans around your sleep and recovery. Hevy is the better choice if you only lift and want a dedicated gym logger with a large lifting community. Its free plan caps you at 4 routines and 3 months of stats; Hevy Pro is $2.99/mo, $23.99/yr or $74.99 lifetime.
