GETSIXPACK vs Hevy
Both will record the set. Only one of them will tell you what to put on the bar for the next one, and say why.
What Hevy is good at
Hevy is the log most serious lifters are on right now, and it has earned the position. Set entry is fast, the routine editor is good, and the Pro tier will show you set count per muscle group by week, month or year — which is more than most logs will tell you about your own training.
Where this one differs
What it will not do is decide anything. A volume chart is a record of what happened; you still have to read it, hold the landmarks in your head, and work out which exercise should absorb another set. GETSIXPACK scores those same weekly sets against MEV, MAV and MRV, names the lift that should take the next one, and has a load waiting on every exercise before you walk up to it.
