Vamo vs Muscle Booster
Muscle Booster, from Welltech, calls itself a personal trainer substitute: more than a thousand workouts for the gym, home and calisthenics, guided sets, rep ranges and rest, a calorie tracker, and an Apple Watch app. 99, and its listing does not describe the plan changing with your results.
99 a month, builds the week from your goal and your kit, and rebuilds it from your check-ins.

The difference
What Vamo does that Muscle Booster does not
Loads from your history
Muscle Booster counts your sets and rest. Vamo prescribes the working weight too, from the lifts you logged in the last six weeks, and progresses it as you build reps.
A week that answers your check-in
Muscle Booster's listing describes a personalised plan. Vamo's rebuilds itself: a weekly check-in scores your recovery, and low recovery, an injury or a personal best each change what comes next, with the reasoning written out.
£7.99, and a free tier that means something
Muscle Booster has no free version and starts at £14.99 a month in the UK. Vamo is £7.99 a month, and logging, history and any programme you already have stay free if you stop paying.
