Disclosure: Brolic is ours, and it is listed first. It gets the same four fields as every other app, including its drawbacks.
Short answer
For a straight leaderboard on every lift, our pick is Brolic — world, country, city or weight class, and exactly what it takes to pass the next lifter, free. For a plain log, Strong or Hevy.
Liftoff ranks you across 600+ exercises and wraps it in streaks, ranks and friends — over 4 million lifters, per its listing. It is heavily gamified by design.
Some lifters love that. Others want the number without the confetti.
Switch to Brolic if
- You want a lift-by-lift leaderboard
- You find streaks and badges noisy
- You want votes to catch fake lifts
Stay with Liftoff if
- The game keeps you training
- Your friends compete on it
- You like its body graphs

The apps in detail
Brolic
Ours
- Best for
- Lifters who want unlimited routines, a lift logged in seconds, and a rank on every lift
- Highlights
- Log a lift in seconds — tap it, type weight and reps, tick the set
- A board for every lift: world, country, city or weight class, with the gap to the lifter above you
- Unlimited routines, with six built in, and a growth bar on every lift
- Community votes: more downvotes than upvotes takes a lift off the board
- Pricing
- Free — no ads, no subscription and no cap on routines
- Watch out
- There is no Apple Watch app, so you log on your phone between sets, and you need an account because the leaderboard has to know whose lift is whose. The leaderboard shows your first name, and it is young, so its boards are thinner than Hevy’s or Liftoff’s communities.

A board you can trust
A leaderboard is only as good as its honesty. Brolic lets lifters vote: a lift with more downvotes than upvotes drops off the board automatically, and there are no photos, videos or direct messages to game.
Then it shows where you sit — worldwide, in your country, your city or your weight class — and exactly what it takes to pass the lifter above you, by first name.
