The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Hevy free tier severely limited to 4 routines and 7 custom exercises, requiring Pro subscription for most users; Komoot offline maps are sold per geographic region rather than per user, so coverage is bought as a Single Region, a Region Bundle or the World Pack
  • They diverge on capability: Hevy covers Workout tracking, Komoot covers Route planning.

  • komoot Premium is a separate subscription from the one-off map region purchases
