JEFIT vs Stay Fit: Free Tier Compared (2026)

JEFIT has been around long enough to build one of the largest exercise databases in the category, with detailed instructions and community contributions going back years. That scale is real and worth acknowledging before getting into where the free tier actually stops.

Price and what the free tier covers

JEFIT's free tier lets you log workouts, browse its exercise database, and see basic tracking. JEFIT Elite, at $6.99/mo, unlocks deeper analytics, more detailed progress reports, and additional planning tools. Stay Fit has no tier above its free one — analytics, goals, streaks, and body measurements are all included from the first workout you log.

Where JEFIT's scale is a genuine advantage

If you train unusual movements or want exercise variations beyond the standard compound-and-isolation list, JEFIT's database size is a real advantage that a smaller library can't match. Its community contributions over the years have built out a breadth Stay Fit's curated list doesn't attempt to match — Stay Fit covers the movements most routines actually use, not every variation that exists.

Where the free tier gap shows up

JEFIT's analytics gap is the mirror image of Strong's routine cap or Hevy's history window — it's not that the free tier is broken, it's that the deeper reporting most people eventually want to check (long-term trends, more detailed breakdowns) sits behind Elite. Stay Fit's reports, goals, and body measurement tracking are the same whether it's your first day or your five-hundredth.

Account requirement

JEFIT requires an account for its cross-platform sync (iOS, Android, web), which is reasonable given it supports more platforms than Stay Fit does. Stay Fit is Android-only and skips the account requirement entirely — open the app and start logging, with backup available through JSON/CSV export instead of an account-tied sync.
