Is Hevy Free? Hevy Pro Cost, Free Limits & Is It Worth It (2026)

Yes — Hevy is free to download and lets you log unlimited workouts with no ads. The free tier limits how many routines (around 4) and custom exercises (around 7) you can create. Hevy Pro removes those limits for $2.99/month, $23.99/year or $74.99 for lifetime access (US App Store prices, September 2026).

Hevy Free vs Hevy Pro

Sources: Hevy on the App Store ("No ads and free"), Alpha Progression (free users "can create up to four routines and seven custom" exercises) and Volm (prices read from the App Store, September 2026). Limits and prices can change and vary by country — check the app before buying.

Is Hevy Pro Worth It?

For most people who follow one program, the free tier is enough: 4 routines covers a push/pull/legs or upper/lower split. Pro becomes worth it when you run several programs, use lots of custom exercises, or want long-term strength graphs. Reddit leans positive on paying: "I think Hevy is the best. Even though their free is capable, I paid for the full just because how good it is." (r/workout, "Apps like Hevy or Strong") Cost also comes up when comparing with Strong: "I preferred the UI when using Hevy — it was easier to set up the routines and it had more exercises. And less expensive." (r/Hevy)

Which plan? Monthly ($2.99) costs $35.88 a year, so the yearly plan ($23.99) saves about a third. Lifetime ($74.99) pays for itself after roughly three years of the yearly plan.

Hevy vs Strong on Price

Strong Pro costs $4.99/month, $29.99/year or $99.99 lifetime, and its free tier caps you at 3 routines — so Hevy is cheaper at every tier. We compare the two in full in Hevy vs Strong.

What Hevy Doesn't Do

Hevy is a workout logger: it records what you do, but it doesn't tell you what to train, and it doesn't track calories or protein. If you don't already have a program — or your goal is fat loss — you'll need a plan and a nutrition tracker on top. That's the gap PonteFuerteAI fills: an AI-generated workout plan plus calorie, protein and photo meal tracking in one app. If you'd rather keep Hevy, see Hevy alternatives for options that add programming.
