Where Hevy is stronger
- The social layer: a feed of friends' workouts, shared routines, and a large active community — nothing in Reysa competes with this today.
- Every platform: Android, Wear OS, iPad, and a web app alongside iOS — if your training partners are on Android, Hevy works for everyone.
- Maturity: tens of thousands of ratings at 4.9 and years of iteration on the core logging flow.
- A lifetime purchase under $75 if you dislike subscriptions.
Where Reysa is stronger
- Cardio is a first-class citizen: Reysa logs runs alongside sets in one place, while Hevy's cardio support is commonly reported as an afterthought.
- Weekly planning with planned-vs-actual: Reysa is built around planning a training week and seeing how you executed it, not just a diary of past workouts.
- Free tier shape: Hevy caps free users at 4 routines and 7 custom exercises; Reysa logs without caps and needs no account — every workout is recorded, and the full archive opens with premium.
What Hevy users commonly report
From third-party review roundups (linked under Sources) — their words, not ours:
- Weak cardio logging (no GPS, awkward time/distance entry)
- The social feed divides opinion — some want a logger, not a network
- The app has grown heavier over the years for pure-logging users
