Looking for a free Tempo alternative?
Tempo's smart weights and coaching are impressive, and they only count reps with Tempo hardware, an iPhone, and a monthly membership. MyRepsCount counts your reps with the phone you already have.
The short answer
Stick with Tempo if…
- You want a complete weight set plus big-screen coaching on your TV.
- You want weight recommendations that adjust set to set.
- You want body-composition scans and Apple Watch heart-rate zones.
Try MyRepsCount if…
- You are on Android. Tempo doesn't support it.
- You want tracked workouts without hardware or a membership.
- You already own dumbbells, a kettlebell, or just a floor.

Where Tempo is better
We make MyRepsCount, so here is the part most comparison pages leave out.
- It recognizes the weight you are using and logs the load automatically.
- Set-to-set weight recommendations from your reps-in-reserve answers.
- A full weight set and TV coaching in one package.
- Body-composition scans and Apple Watch heart-rate zones.
How MyRepsCount counts your reps
-
Prop your phone up. Floor, shelf, or against a water bottle, with your whole body in frame. -
Train hands-free. The camera tracks your movement on the phone and counts each full rep. No video is recorded or uploaded. - Or log it by hand. Anything the camera can't count goes in the manual log, with weights, rep ranges, and supersets.
