Great if you like writing code. Better if you'd rather have a coach.
Liftoscript can do a lot, but you're writing and debugging actual code to get there. Pushit gives you the same progression power through click-based rules, plus a coach-athlete roster Liftosaur doesn't have.
Liftosaur feature and pricing details verified directly in their app at the time of writing. Liftosaur is a trademark of its respective owner; Pushit is not affiliated with Liftosaur.
Why lifters switch
A coach, not just a script
Liftosaur is solo-only by design. Pushit pairs you with a coach who sees your logs and recovery in one ongoing roster view, or lets you run the same formula engine on your own.
No code required
Liftoscript makes you write and debug actual code for every rule. Pushit's progression rules, RPE ranges, and training-max references are the same power as click-based settings, no text editor required.
Video review built in
Liftosaur has no video review at all. In Pushit, attach a form-check clip to the exact set you logged, for your coach to review.
Bring a coach into your training.
Real progression logic, no scripting required. 100% free.
Pushit vs Liftosaur, the questions people ask
Both let you write real custom progression logic instead of picking a template. Liftosaur does it through Liftoscript, a text-based scripting language you write yourself. Pushit covers the same ground (automatic backoff sets, training-max references, RPE autoregulation) through a click-based rule builder, and adds a coach-athlete roster, which Liftosaur doesn't have at all.
No, Liftosaur is solo-only, there's no coach-athlete pairing or roster. Pushit is built around that relationship from the start, whether you're a coach with a roster or an athlete pairing with one.
Both are free to start. Liftosaur has an optional paid or lifetime tier on top. Pushit is 100% free with no paid tier at all, for athletes and coaches.
Liftosaur has native iOS, Android, and web apps today. Pushit has a native iPhone app live now, with Android in development, and a web app in the meantime.
They solve different problems. Liftosaur's equipment settings (barbell, trap bar, dumbbell, and so on) control how it rounds a weight to what you can actually load. Pushit tracks your working weight and one-rep max separately per physical gym, so travelling between facilities with different equipment doesn't mix up your numbers.
No, there's no automated import or Liftoscript compatibility. You'd recreate the progression logic using Pushit's rule builder, which covers the same core ideas (training-max references, RPE-based adjustments, automatic backoff sets) without needing to write a script.
