2. Free plan and trial

   Neither product has a free plan. StrongLifts is free to download but requires a subscription to use. Its yearly plan has a 7-day free trial, while monthly and quarterly plans have no trial. StrongLifts wins because it gives a stated trial path for the yearly subscription. This does not make the app free: continued use requires a paid subscription, and the trial terms differ by billing period.

It offers StrongLifts 5×5 beginner and intermediate programs, Madcow 5×5, automatic weight increases, repeats and deloads, assistance work, exercise replacement, custom exercises, calculators, rest timing, logging, charts, history, and personal records. Wodify is an all-in-one gym-management platform. It covers billing, scheduling, client management, waivers, contracts, memberships, payments, workouts, lead management, retention, automations, marketing, reporting, payroll calculation, and multi-location support, plus a member app. Wodify wins for breadth of business and member operations.

4. Supported platforms

   StrongLifts lists Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. Its Apple Watch app logs sets, rest notifications, workout data, and warmup and plate calculations. Wodify lists Android, iOS, web, and API access. Its core administration runs in current mobile browsers, and Coach View handles quick coaching tasks. Kiosk+ has stated browser, memory, and processor requirements. Neither platform set fully contains the other: StrongLifts covers desktop operating systems and Apple Watch, while Wodify covers browser administration and an API. The facts therefore do not establish a single platform winner.

5. Health and service integrations

   StrongLifts connects with Apple Health on iOS and Health Connect on Android, exchanging workouts, duration, calories, and body weight. It also says workouts can sync between iOS and Android devices. Wodify names QuickBooks, Slack, Facebook Leads, Google Analytics, MyZone, and Zapier, and supports connections through its API on Accelerate and Ultimate. Its documented API covers leads, clients, documents, communications, financials, memberships, locations, programs, classes, appointments, and workouts. Wodify wins because the stated integration list spans business services and its API exposes more operational areas; StrongLifts is centered on health data exchange.

6. API access and documentation

   StrongLifts’ opened official product and support pages document no public API or SDK. Wodify provides a REST API with the base URL https://api.wodify.com/v1, x-api-key authentication, endpoint categories, parameters, response formats, guides, and an API reference. API-key creation is available on Accelerate and Ultimate, while previously created keys continue to work. The API covers operational and workout records, including leads, clients, memberships, classes, appointments, and workouts. Wodify wins clearly because it documents a usable API and its access tiers, while StrongLifts documents no public API or SDK.

Both provide direct support and written guidance.
