Why people look for a JEFIT alternative
Elite is the most expensive tier in this comparison
JEFIT lists Elite at $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year. Against $29.99 a year for Strong PRO, that is a different order of commitment, and it is worth being deliberate about whether the analytics dashboard and routine library are things you will open weekly.
The app does a great deal, and density has a cost
A platform this broad has a lot of surface. At the rack, between sets, with a bar loaded and a rest timer running, surface is the thing you are trying to get away from.
The interesting analytics sit above the line
The free tier logs. The premium analytics dashboard and the Elite routine library are what Elite is sold on, per JEFIT’s own listing, so the parts that reward long-term logging are the parts behind the tier.
What JEFIT has that Mekimeki does not
The exercise database
JEFIT’s catalogue is genuinely enormous and covers machines and variations that smaller apps never list. If you train at a well-equipped commercial gym and want everything pre-named, this is a real advantage.
Community routines at scale
A very large library of user-built programs to browse and adopt, which is a meaningfully different starting point from an empty template screen.
Which one should you pick
Pick JEFIT if you want the widest exercise database and the same account on Android and the web. Pick Mekimeki if you want the logging and the long-term statistics in the same free app, on an iPhone, with no tier above you.

Here is how the developer puts it on the App Store listing: Upgrade to JEFIT Elite to unlock our most powerful, science-backed training tools designed to accelerate your results: Monthly: $12.99 / month · Yearly: $69.99 / year (Save over 55%)
What plan does Mekimeki offer?
Mekimeki has one free plan. It has no Pro version, subscription, one-time unlock or advertising.
Can I move my history from JEFIT?
There is no direct importer for JEFIT data, and past sessions do not come across. What is worth carrying over is the last working weight for each exercise: a few minutes while you build your templates, after which the new history accumulates from there. Templates in Mekimeki are unlimited, so rebuilding a six-day split costs nothing but the typing.
