When Strong is the right choice
If you want a deep stats screen with charts, body measurements, and cross-device sync that updates between phone and tablet, Strong is well-built and widely supported. It is the right choice if you like a richer dashboard and you do not mind making an account.
When Unit is the right choice
Pick Unit if logging is the bottleneck. You already know your program, you train with one hand, and you want the set in the log before you re-rack the bar. No account, no cloud, just the numbers on your device.
Faster than paper.
Unit is the calmer Strong app alternative for lifters who already know what they are doing.
