In short
Strong is a training-only app: the free version allows up to 3 custom routines, and body part measurements and all charts are in Strong PRO. It has no diet features and no plan built for you. FitMate.co has a set log with your previous result per set, custom workouts and all body measurements on Free, a workout plan, calories from a photo and an import of your whole Strong history.

Feature comparison
Prices change often and depend on the store, so we do not compare them.
Which one to pick
FitMate.co, if you
- want your diet and training in one app,
- want a plan built for your goal, days and equipment,
- want more than 3 custom routines and body part measurements without paying,
- want to bring your whole Strong history with you.
Strong, if you
- do not count calories, and use RPE and a plate calculator every session,
- train with just your Apple Watch, without your phone.
