Compare how each app records your actual sets and lets you retrieve the history. Formula transparency and routine sharing solve different needs; neither replaces sound technique or individualized coaching.
Progression's listing describes strength logging, named estimated-max formulas, weekly hard-set volume and exportable history. A visible formula matters because changing it can change the interpretation of progress.
Hevy documents workout routines, folders and shareable routine links. Its help center also provides data-export instructions for retaining workout history outside the app.

Comparison based on current official descriptions, not hands-on testing of the competing product. Prices, subscription eligibility and feature availability can change.
Two estimated-max formulas can produce different numbers from the same set. Enter a weight and completed repetitions to compare Epley and Brzycki, inspect the arithmetic and keep a consistent reference when reviewing your training log.
Epley uses weight × (1 + reps/30); Brzycki uses weight × 36/(37 - reps). At one repetition, the completed weight is shown as the observed single. Compare sets performed under similar conditions.

If last month you completed 80 units for five reps and now complete the same weight for six with comparable technique, both formulas move in the same direction. That is more interpretable than comparing different exercises.

An estimated maximum is not a lifting prescription or a measured maximum. High-repetition sets, fatigue and technique reduce its usefulness. The web tool does not assess readiness, injury risk or an appropriate training load.
