[Comparison]
Criteria
| Criteria | IronFlow | Fitbod |
|---|---|---|
| Program planning | Edit structured training plans and organize work by week, day, exercise, and set. | Fitbod generates personalized strength sessions based on profile settings and logged training. |
| Progression | Progression follows the selected plan; automatic rules are not guaranteed for every program. | Recommendations for sets, reps, and weight adapt to logged performance and estimated recovery. |
| Desktop and web planning | Edit plans in a desktop browser and log strength or cardio in the mobile app. | Fitbod's cited official sources focus on mobile apps; check its current web features if desktop plan editing matters. |
| Google Sheets plan import | Import visible values from the selected Google Sheets tab into a plan to review; formulas and scripts do not transfer as live progression rules. | Confirm Fitbod's current spreadsheet-import options; generated sessions are not a Sheets plan import. |
| Program imports | The Sheets plan import does not make spreadsheet formulas or scripts into live rules. | Check support for importing an authored program separately from Fitbod's adaptive session generation. |
| Plan export | Export plans to Google Sheets or JSON. | Check Fitbod's current support details for program export options before switching. |
| Completed workout-history import | Plan import is separate from importing completed workout history. | Check Fitbod's support information for completed-history import; generated sessions are not a history transfer. |
| Completed workout-history export | Google Sheets and JSON plan exports are not exports of completed workout history. | Check current Fitbod support for completed-history export options. |
| Workout logging | Log strength and cardio sessions from the mobile app. | Log generated or customized strength workouts; logged performance informs later recommendations. |
| Offline support | Sessions are stored locally and can be logged offline; internet is required for account sync. | Workouts can be generated and logged offline, then synced; some split-specific recommendations, videos, and full history need internet. |
| Platforms | Use the iOS or Android app for logging and a desktop browser for plan editing. | Fitbod lists iOS and Android apps; check the current listing for device and operating-system requirements. |
| Wearables | This comparison does not claim wearable support; check the current app listings for your device. | Check Fitbod's current platform listings for wearable compatibility and supported devices. |
| Training analytics | Review estimated strength (E1RM), fatigue, and workload trends. | Fitbod tracks exercise performance and estimated strength, and uses recovery estimates in workout recommendations. |
| Social features | The workflow centers on personal plans and workout logging; consult current product details if social tools matter. | Fitbod's cited pages emphasize personalized workouts and progress; check current features if social tools matter. |
| Price | Basic logging and templates are free; Pro adds advanced analytics and more plan capacity. Check current regional pricing. | Fitbod lists US$15.99/month or US$95.99/year (US pricing, checked October 27, 2026); new users receive a 7-day trial. Prices may vary by region and platform. |

Check trial terms and data paths first
Fitbod's adaptive sessions and IronFlow's spreadsheet-plan import are different workflows. Do not treat either as a completed-history transfer.
- Review Fitbod's current trial and subscription terms before starting a trial.
- Check what workout data or program details you want to retain and confirm the relevant transfer path.
- Test your selected workflow while keeping a separate copy of your existing plan and workout history.
