Vamo vs Home Workout
Home Workout, by Leap Fitness, is one of the most-installed fitness apps on either store: short bodyweight sessions, a free tier with ads, and a yearly price that is hard to argue with. It says an AI coach adjusts your plan, without saying how, and there is no nutrition at all.
Vamo programmes gym, running, cycling and swimming, plans your food, and tells you exactly why next week looks the way it does.

The difference
What Vamo does that Home Workout does not
Weights, not just bodyweight
Home Workout is built for no equipment. Vamo asks what you have, from nothing to a full gym, and programmes accordingly, with working weights set from the lifts you log.
Rules you can read
Home Workout says an AI adjusts your plan. Vamo's engine computes every number, from sets to loads to run paces, by rules it publishes, and explains each week's decisions in plain English.
Food is in the same app
Home Workout has no nutrition. Vamo sets targets from your goal and your training and builds the week's meals to hit them.
Questions
Vamo or Home Workout?
Is Home Workout free?
There is a free tier with ads. Premium removes them and unlocks custom plans. The headline price is $39.99 a year, with a 7-day trial.
Is Vamo cheaper than Home Workout?
No. Home Workout's yearly price is about £38; Vamo is £7.99 a month, or £95.88 a year. Vamo costs more and does more: gym and endurance programming, nutrition, and a weekly read of your data.
Does Home Workout adapt?
It says its AI coach adjusts your plan to your performance and preferences. It does not publish how. Vamo publishes its rules and shows you the reasoning in the app.
Can I train at home with Vamo?
Yes. Tell Vamo you have no equipment and it programmes bodyweight sessions, with reps as the progression.
