Yes. Hevy can be used for free, with limits: on the date above, the free tier allowed four routines, seven custom exercises and three months of history. Hevy Pro removes those limits and adds the program builder and load suggestions.

Does Hevy track food or calories?

Hevy's own features guide and store listing describe training, body measurements and progress photos, and list no food log or calorie targets. Month6 includes calorie and macro targets and food logging in the same app as the workout log.

Can I move my workout history from Hevy to Month6?

Hevy exports workouts and measurements as CSV. Month6 doesn't import a Hevy export today, so your history would start fresh; your Hevy data stays yours either way.

Which one suggests the weight for my next set?

Both can. Hevy does it with Pro, through Hevy Trainer's progressive overload recommendations. Month6 does it in the free tier: when every set reaches the top of the rep range, the next session adds the lift's smallest load step.

Do I need to pay for either to get started?

No. Both have a free tier. Month6's paid plan is for the AI coach, and its monthly plan starts with a free trial.

Month6 vs Hevy: which workout app fits you?

Short answer

Hevy is a workout logger with a social feed and a large free tier; its Pro plan adds an algorithmic program and load suggestions. Month6 logs workouts too, but builds the plan, nutrition targets and a six-month body projection around a goal you pick.

The short version

Hevy and Month6 both log strength training, and both are free to start. They differ in what sits around the log. Hevy is built as a training log with a community feed: you follow routines, see what friends lifted, and Hevy Pro adds a program builder and load recommendations. Month6 starts from a goal (bulk, cut or recomp), builds the training plan and the daily calorie and protein targets for it, and shows a projected figure of your body at Month 6 that the log then has to earn.

This page lays the two side by side as they stood on the date at the top. Every fact about Hevy comes from Hevy's own help center or its App Store listing, linked in the table, and prices are the US App Store figures, so yours may differ by region. Nothing here is a ranking: the right app is the one that matches what you want to track.

“Not listed” means the feature appears nowhere on the official pages we read, not that Hevy said it doesn't exist. Prices are in US dollars and can differ by store and region.

Where they differ

A log first, or a goal first

Hevy opens on your workouts and your feed: you choose or build routines and log them, and the free app shows what you lifted last time. Month6 opens on a goal and a date six months out, and the plan, the daily targets and the log all point at it. If you already know what you want to run, Hevy stays out of your way; if you want the plan made for you, that is where Month6 starts.

Where the free line sits

Hevy's free tier caps routines, custom exercises and how much history you can see, and keeps the program builder and load suggestions for Pro. Month6's free tier keeps the whole log and every chart, the generated plan and the projection, and puts the AI coach behind Pro. Both are honest ways to split an app; they free up different things.

Nutrition

Hevy's features guide covers training, body weight, measurements and photos, and lists no food log or calorie targets. Month6 sets calorie, protein, carb and fat targets from your goal and lets you log food from a built-in library or your own foods. If you already track food in another app, that difference may not matter to you.

Community

Hevy has a social feed for following friends and sharing workouts, which many lifters use for accountability. Month6 has no feed; its accountability is a streak, a daily loop of training, protein and sleep, and a weekly check-in.

Platforms

Hevy runs on iPhone, Android, the web, Apple Watch and Wear OS. Month6 runs on iPhone and Android only, so if you log from a watch or a browser, Hevy covers more of the places you train.

Choose Hevy if

You want a free logger for routines you already follow, with a feed of friends' workouts.
You log from a watch or a browser as well as your phone.
You track nutrition somewhere else and want the training log only.

Choose Month6 if

You want the plan, the calorie and protein targets and the log built around one goal.
You want to see a projected figure of your body at Month 6 and track against it.
You want the whole log and every chart free, and pay only if you want the AI coach.
