Hevy: cost, fit and limits
Hevy is a workout-logging app made by Hevy Studios, S.L. for iOS and Android that records routines and sets, shares workouts with friends, and sells a Pro tier with advanced analytics and a Trainer for tailored plans.
What to know first
Hevy is a strength logger priced to be hard to argue with: free with limits, Pro at $2.99 per month, $23.99 per year, or $74.99 once for life, as listed on its pricing comparison page dated 14 October 2026. The free plan caps routines at 4 and custom exercises at 7. The Trainer is described as an adaptive programming system and not as AI, so it does not count as a named AI feature here.

Who Hevy is best for
Lifters who want a lifetime license
The $74.99 lifetime Pro removes the routine and custom exercise caps without a recurring bill. That is roughly three years of the annual price paid once, a better deal for people who log for years.
Casual gym-goers on a tight budget
The free plan lets you keep up to 4 routines and 7 custom exercises, which is enough for a simple split.
Training partners
Workout sharing with friends is on the home page, so a pair can compare sessions inside the app. Friends can see and compare sessions in the app, which helps training partners keep each other honest about attendance.
People who want programming help
Pro includes Trainer, which builds tailored plans and gives ongoing guidance on progress. The vendor describes Trainer as an adaptive programming system, so it suits people who want guidance without using an AI product.

What Hevy does
- Routines
- Routines hold your planned exercises and sets, with up to four on the free plan and no cap in Pro. A plain routine saves you from rebuilding the same session every visit, and logging against the last result shows progress.
- Custom exercises
- Seven custom exercises are allowed on the free plan, and Pro removes that limit for unusual movements. The cap exists to push heavier users to Pro, so cable machine variants or odd equipment can use up the seven quickly.
- Trainer
- Included in Pro, it builds tailored training plans and gives ongoing progress guidance. The vendor describes it as adaptive programming, not AI. Which inputs it uses to adapt a plan are not described on the pages opened.
- Advanced analytics
- A Pro item on the pricing comparison page that goes beyond the basic history shown on the free plan. Free users see the basic history while Pro unlocks deeper breakdowns, though the page does not list the individual charts.
- Workout sharing
- The home page shows workouts can be shared with friends, which adds a light social layer to logging. It sits on the home page and needs no Pro plan, so even free users can show a workout to a friend or training partner.
How Hevy handles your data
Hevy's privacy policy is hosted as an external iubenda page, and its text was not readable in the page we opened, so retention, hosting region, certifications and model-training terms are unchecked. The home and privacy pages carry a copyright line naming Hevy Studios, S.L., but no country is stated. Apple Health and wearable sync were not verified on the pages opened, so check the app before assuming data moves in or out of other services.
Where Hevy falls short in practice
- Free caps are tight. Four routines and seven custom exercises cover a basic split but not a rotating program, so serious lifters will hit the wall. Anyone who rotates several programs or uses a different split each phase will exceed that on the free plan within weeks.
- No trial listed. The pricing comparison page lists no free trial for Pro, so the cheap monthly price is the way to test it. A monthly subscription at $2.99 is the cheapest way to test Pro, then you can switch to lifetime if it suits you.
- Privacy text unread. The policy sits on an external page that could not be read, so data terms remain unknown. That means retention, hosting, certifications and model-training terms are all unknown to this review, whatever the app does in practice.

Hevy: common questions
How much is Hevy Pro?
The pricing comparison page, dated 14 October 2026, lists Pro at $2.99 per month, $23.99 per year or $74.99 as a one-time lifetime payment, in US dollars. It adds that regional pricing and promotions may apply and that no free trial is listed.
Is Hevy free to use?
Yes, with caps. The free plan allows up to 4 routines and 7 custom exercises. Pro removes both limits and adds advanced analytics and Trainer. The home page says Hevy is free to use, and the lifetime Pro price is a one-time payment.
Does Hevy have AI?
No AI feature is named on the pages we opened. Trainer builds tailored training plans and gives ongoing progress guidance, but the vendor describes it as an adaptive programming system. If you need an AI coach by name, look at Freeletics or Peloton instead.
Is the Hevy lifetime plan worth it?
At $74.99 once, lifetime Pro equals about three years of the $23.99 annual plan, so it pays off if you will keep using Hevy for more than that. The page lists no trial, and regional pricing may differ, so check the app store price first.
Where does Hevy keep my data?
We could not tell. The privacy policy text is hosted on an external iubenda page that was not readable, and the home page does not state hosting. Hevy Studios, S.L. is the named company, with no country on the pages we read.
