LastLift LastLift vs Setgraph (2026): which should you use?
By Jens Skott, Level 3 PT · Updated 3 Jul 2026
Setgraph: iPhone, Apple Watch · Free + in-app purchases
The speed test: open app → set logged
The one thing we measure rather than assert. Scenario: you're repeating last session's bench set — app installed, opening from its start screen, current App Store versions, July 2026. Where Setgraph is fast too, we say so.
LastLift 2–3 taps for a repeat set, 3–4 from cold
- Open the app — your most-logged lifts are one tap away
- Tap the lift — last session's weight, reps and RPE are already on screen
- Adjust if needed, tap LOG — saved and cleared for the next set
Setgraph Comparably fast — this one is close, and we say so
- Open the app — Setgraph is also built for fast set entry
- Pick the exercise and compare against your last session
- Enter the set — with rest timers along the way
Tap counts are for the flows described, counted by us; your routine setup and settings change them. Time yourself in both — it's the honest test.

The honest head-to-head
Setgraph is LastLift’s closest rival, and credit where it’s due — it is genuinely good. Like LastLift it’s an iPhone-first, minimalist logger built for fast set entry, rest timers and comparing against your last session. This is the one matchup on our compare pages where “we’re faster” isn’t the headline, because honestly, both apps are quick.
So the real difference is philosophy, not quality. Setgraph keeps adding capability: an Apple Watch app, Smart Plates, an AI workout planner, Apple Health integration. LastLift deliberately doesn’t. It is one screen with nothing else to learn — no planner to configure, no account to create, and your workouts live only in your own private iCloud, never on a server. Every feature LastLift doesn’t have is a decision, not a gap we haven’t filled yet.
Which philosophy wins depends on you. If you’d use the extras — you want wrist logging today, or you like the app suggesting what’s next — Setgraph is the richer app and the right choice. If you know your own training and want the logger to be invisible between sets, stripped-back is the feature, and that’s LastLift. Either way you end up with a fast, minimalist logger; you’re choosing how much app you want around it.
Who should pick which
Pick Setgraph if…
- You want a fast logger plus extras — Watch app, AI planning, Apple Health
- You want a free tier to start on
- You like the idea of the app suggesting what to do next
Pick LastLift if…
- You want one screen and nothing else to learn
- You never want an account, and want your data only in your own iCloud
- You run your own programming and want the app to stay out of it
- You want to pay once and be done (lifetime)
Switching?
Moving trackers is easier than it feels — LastLift has no routines to rebuild, so switching is mostly just logging your next session. Our guide to switching workout tracker apps covers keeping your history, and the full seven-app comparison has the wider field.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between LastLift and Setgraph?
They're the closest rivals — both fast, minimalist iPhone loggers built around beating your last session. Setgraph has more features today: an Apple Watch app, an AI planner, Smart Plates and Apple Health integration. LastLift is more stripped-back: a single screen, no account, and workouts stored only in your private iCloud.
Is Setgraph free?
Setgraph has a free tier with in-app purchases for more. LastLift is paid: a 14-day free trial, then $3.99/month, $29.99/year, or $49.99 once for lifetime. Check Setgraph's current App Store listing for its exact unlock pricing.
Which is faster for logging a set?
Honestly: they're both fast — this is the one comparison where speed alone won't separate them. LastLift logs a repeat set in two to three taps on a single screen. The difference is philosophy: LastLift keeps the whole app to one screen and adds nothing else; Setgraph adds tools around the logging.
Does LastLift have an AI planner like Setgraph?
No, and it won't pretend to. LastLift assumes you (or your coach) decide the training; it just makes sure you always know what you did last time so you can beat it. If you want the app to plan for you, Setgraph is the better fit.
Which should I pick if I want an Apple Watch app?
Setgraph — it has a Watch app today and LastLift doesn't (one is planned but not shipped). If wrist logging matters to you now, that's a real difference, and we'd rather say so than have you find out after a trial.
