RepRaptor's answer

RepRaptor does two things and skips the rest. You build training programs and you run them. No social feed, no marketplace taking a cut, no per client billing. Coaches pay one flat monthly rate no matter how many clients they carry. The same app handles structured strength blocks and timed circuits, and anyone can publish a program to the community for others to run.

RepDB's answer:

RepDB is sold as a one-time download, not a metered API — you own the JSON/SQLite data and WebP images outright, with no rate limits, no per-request billing, and no risk of the vendor cutting off access. It's also the only dataset in this space with EN/DE/ES translations, transparent (alpha-channel) images with no watermark, muscle-group highlighting, safety/goal tags, and looping animations on the higher tier.

RepRaptor's answer

Most coaching platforms charge per client or take a percentage of what you earn. RepRaptor is built the other way:

• Flat pricing. One monthly rate by client capacity, so growing your roster never raises your cut.
• Free for lifters. Clients use the full app at no cost, which makes onboarding easy.
• Two builders in one. Linear programs and timed circuits, so you are not locked into a tool that only does one.

RepDB's answer:

Most alternatives are subscription APIs — you pay monthly, you're capped on requests, and ExerciseDB's terms of use explicitly forbid caching or storing the data at all, so every image render is a live paid API call. RepDB is the opposite: pay once, download the files, self-host with zero ongoing dependency. It's also the only option offering true DE/ES localization and transparent images instead of a white box behind every exercise.

RepRaptor's answer

Training apps kept piling on things that had nothing to do with training. Social feeds, badges, upsells, per client fees that punished coaches for growing. RepRaptor started as the opposite. Strip it down to building and running programs, keep lifters free, and charge coaches one flat rate. It is built by a solo developer who wanted a clean tool for finding and following good programs.

RepDB's answer:

RepDB grew out of a consumer workout app its creator was building solo. Sourcing exercise images and data meant either paying for a subscription API with usage caps and no caching rights, or producing everything from scratch. The illustrated, multi-language dataset was built for us first, then split out as its own product once it became clear other indie developers had the same problem and preferred to buy the data outright rather than rent it through an API.

RepRaptor's answer

RepRaptor serves two main groups, plus the creators who sit between them:

• Coaches and personal trainers. Online and in person, from solo trainers up to small gyms, who build programs and deliver them to clients.
• Lifters. People who want to follow a solid program and track their training without a cluttered app.

Creators sit in between, publishing programs to the community for anyone to run.

RepDB's answer:

Solo developers and small teams building fitness or workout-tracking apps (iOS, Android, web) who need licensed exercise images and structured exercise data, but don't want to build their own media pipeline or depend on a rate-limited third-party API.

RepRaptor's answer

• Frontend. Vue and Pinia, styled with Tailwind.
• Mobile. Capacitor, one codebase for iOS and Android.
• Backend. Supabase, which is Postgres with row level security, plus AWS Lambda for serverless functions.
• Payments. Stripe on web, RevenueCat on mobile.
