Outrep vs Hevy
Hevy is the fastest notebook in the category. Outrep keeps the notebook fast and adds the part that decides what you lift.
Comparison as of September 2026, written from public listings and reviews. Prices are as commonly reported; verify in the stores before you decide. Hevy is another company’s product and is not affiliated with Outrep.
| Feature | Outrep | Hevy |
|---|---|---|
| Set logging | Tap the check; the row is pre-filled with last time. Inline number pad, no modals, undo instead of confirm dialogs. | Fastest, cleanest set logging in the category. The bar Outrep measures itself against. |
| Progression guidance | Engine on every exercise: add weight, add a rep, hold, or deload, with a one-sentence “Why?”. Free on one exercise per workout; Pro on all. | None built in; it is a notebook. You decide what to lift. |
| Free tier | Unlimited history, exercises, custom exercises, export, plate calculator, watch apps, import; 6 routines of your own; 3 programs. | Unlimited history; routines capped (about 4) on the free tier. |
| Watch | Wear OS standalone: logs sets without the phone, rest haptic with the screen off, mirrors within a second. Apple Watch on the same engine with the iOS beta. | Polished Apple Watch and Wear OS apps; reviews complain about sync drift and the rest timer on the watch. |
| Analytics | Max weight per session free; sets per muscle against the 10–20 band, e1RM by rep range and PR timeline in Pro. | Charts are shallow: no per-muscle volume, no e1RM trend per rep range. |
| Social | None. No feed, no followers. | Social feed, routine sharing, a community. If that matters to you, Hevy has it and Outrep does not. |
| Import / export | Imports Hevy CSV in one tap; exports CSV in the Hevy layout or JSON. Free. | CSV export available; import is not a feature. |
| Account | Optional. Full app offline with no login; sync is additive. | Account required. |
| Price | Free; Pro $3.99/mo, $29.99/yr with a 7-day trial, $79.99 lifetime. | Free; Pro about $2.99–3.99/mo, about $24–40/yr, lifetime option. |
Where Hevy is the better choice
- You want a feed, followers and shared routines.
- You already program yourself and want nothing between you and the log.
- You are on iOS today: Hevy’s iPhone app is shipping; Outrep’s is in beta.
Where Outrep is
- You want to be told the target before the set, with the reason, and you want it computed from your own history rather than a template.
- You log from a Wear OS watch and want it to work with the phone in the locker.
- You want your data to leave whenever you say: import and export are free, and there is no account unless you want sync.
How to import from Hevy
- In Hevy: export your workouts as a CSV from the app’s settings (the file starts with
title,start_time,end_time,…). - Open the CSV with Outrep (share sheet or “Open with”), or Settings → Import from Hevy / Strong and pick the file.
- Done. The summary reads “Hevy: N workouts, N sets, N new exercises”. Warm-up, drop and failure sets keep their type; RPE comes along; a pounds export is converted.
