Quick answer. Alpha Progression is a strength training app with a free tracker and a Pro plan that generates a program and recommends weight and reps for every set, with 795 exercise videos. AGUNA plans the whole gym day: the session in order with sets, reps, weight and timed rest, plus every meal for your goal with calories, and a photo calorie counter. Alpha Progression is bigger and has a free version. Pick AGUNA if you want your meals planned too, and the gym decisions made for you.

Same question, two answers
The question is "what do I do at the gym today?" Alpha Progression answers it with a plan generator: pick your goals, equipment, training frequency and duration, and Pro builds a program, then suggests weight and reps for each set from what you logged. Its site says 5M+ downloads and a 4.9 App Store rating.
AGUNA answers it by planning the whole day. Pick up to three goals and it builds your week with rest days. Open the app and today's session is already there: the exercises in order, the sets, the weight and a timed rest. Busy gym? One tap turns the session into dumbbells. Machine taken? One tap brings the next free exercise up.
