[Comparison]
Criteria
| Criteria | IronFlow | Hevy |
|---|---|---|
| Program planning | Edit structured training plans and organize work by week, day, exercise, and set. | Create routines, use the routine library, or follow a Trainer-generated plan. |
| Progression | Progression follows the selected plan; automatic rules are not guaranteed for every program. | Automatic weight adjustments are for Hevy Trainer programs; ordinary routines remain user-directed. |
| Desktop and web planning | Edit plans in a desktop browser and log strength or cardio in the mobile app. | Hevy's web app offers routine planning, progress views, and social features. |
| 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. | Hevy's built-in Strong import is a completed-history CSV path, not a Google Sheets plan import. |
| Program imports | The Sheets plan import does not make spreadsheet formulas or scripts into live rules. | Hevy's Strong import excludes Strong routines; use routine sharing or set up routines separately. |
| Plan export | Export plans to Google Sheets or JSON. | Hevy offers workout-history CSV export and routine sharing; these move different types of data. |
| Completed workout-history import | Plan import is separate from importing completed workout history. | Import completed workout history from Strong's CSV; routines are not included. |
| Completed workout-history export | Google Sheets and JSON plan exports are not exports of completed workout history. | Export completed workout history as CSV; it is not a program export. |
| Workout logging | Log strength and cardio sessions from the mobile app. | Log sets and track workout history on mobile, web, and supported watches. |
| Offline support | Sessions are stored locally and can be logged offline; internet is required for account sync. | Hevy says workouts can be logged offline and synced across devices. |
| Platforms | Use the iOS or Android app for logging and a desktop browser for plan editing. | Hevy offers iOS, Android, Apple Watch, and a web app; Trainer is a Hevy Pro feature. |
| Wearables | This comparison does not claim wearable support; check the current app listings for your device. | Hevy offers Apple Watch support; check its current listing for device requirements. |
| Training analytics | Review estimated strength (E1RM), fatigue, and workload trends. | Review exercise progress, training volume, consistency, and other workout statistics; some views require Pro. |
| Social features | The workflow centers on personal plans and workout logging; consult current product details if social tools matter. | Follow lifters, share workouts, and use Hevy's social feed, which can be opted out of. |
| Price | Basic logging and templates are free; Pro adds advanced analytics and more plan capacity. Check current regional pricing. | Hevy's comparison page, checked October 27, 2026, lists US$2.99/month for Pro. Check the current US App Store listing for annual or lifetime offers; prices vary by region and store. |

[Switching and data transfer]
Keep routines and completed history distinct
Hevy's Strong CSV import brings over completed workouts, not Strong routines. IronFlow's Sheets import moves plan values, not completed workout history.
- Export and save a copy of your workout history from the app you currently use.
- Check whether your routines need to be recreated or shared separately from completed-session history.
- Import Google Sheets plan values into IronFlow only if that is the data you want to move, then review the plan.
