Comparison
Heavy Bag Pro (listed on the App Store as "Boxing Training: Bag Workouts") is a well-established shadow-boxing and bag-work app with a large combo library. Joti covers the same ground with Guided Rounds and also tracks your strength training in the same app, across iOS, Android and web. Here is how they line up.

The differences that matter most if you want more than a plain logger.
Works on Android and the web too, not just iOS — Heavy Bag Pro is iPhone/iPad/Mac only.
One app for both round-based striking and strength training, with your full history in one place.
Three ways to build a round: fully randomised, a ready-made template, or fully custom round-by-round.
An AI training partner built into the app: instant written session summaries, and AI that finds or builds workouts and exercises from a plain-English description.
A plate calculator and automatic personal bests for your own strength training, which Heavy Bag Pro does not offer.
Free to download, with a full first month free and no purchase required to try it.
Heavy Bag Pro has been refined over several years around one thing — bag work and shadow boxing — with close to 1,000 combos and over 70 ready-made workouts with animations. If you are on iPhone only, want a deep, purpose-built combo library, and have no interest in tracking strength training in the same app, Heavy Bag Pro is a solid, focused choice.
Both guide you through combos with no equipment needed. Heavy Bag Pro has a larger pre-built combo library (~1,000 combos, 70+ workouts) refined over several years, but it is iOS-only and does not track strength training. Joti covers Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Traditional Martial Arts with three ways to build a round (randomised, template or fully custom), works on iOS, Android and web, and also logs your strength training in the same app.
No — Heavy Bag Pro is only available on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Joti is available on iOS, Android and the web, with your data synced across all three.
No — Heavy Bag Pro is focused entirely on boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai combos. It has no set/rep logging, personal bests or plate calculator for strength training. Joti tracks both in the same app.
Joti is free to download and free for your first month, no purchase required. After that, an optional subscription unlocks everything — current pricing is shown in the app and on your app store.
