Feature Comparison
Which tracker gives you clearer feedback after logging?
| Compare | Best for feedbackVia Fortis | Hevy |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Self-programmed lifters who want private feedback on muscle coverage, balance, and progress. | Lifters who want a broad workout log with social features, routine sharing, and cross-platform support. |
| Core logging | Fast set logging with custom routines, rest timers with haptics, exercise history, presets, quick starts, goals, and workout history. | Workout logging with routines, exercise history, rest timers, custom exercises, and a large exercise library. |
| Free tier | Core logging, Weekly Balance, Body Map windows, Lift Progress, basic goals, and starter presets are free. | Free logging is available, with limits on routines, custom exercises, and longer graph history before Pro. |
| Progress review | Lift Progress, PRs, e1RM, workout history, Strength Momentum, Body Map, and Weekly Balance show both strength trends and training coverage. | Progress charts, exercise history, muscle-group charts, measurements, photos, and reports help review logged performance. |
| Gap detection | Muscle coverage and weekly movement balance are core views, so missed areas are easier to spot. | Muscle-group charts and logged history can help, but the experience is broader than gap-first review. |
| Your training plan | Keeps your programming yours while surfacing patterns, gaps, and lift suggestions from your own data. | Works well for lifters more interested in shareable routines and community engagement. |
Why Via Fortis
For lifters who want the pattern without the feed.
Many logging apps capture the workout and add community around it. Via Fortis is built around the private review layer: did that work create balanced training, better coverage, and visible strength progress?
That is why the core views are visual. Body Map shows what muscles your training touched. Weekly Balance shows whether the week is skewed. Lift Progress shows whether specific lifts are moving.
