ProgressLens vs trackBod
A one-off scan or rating, or a running read of your own progress? Here’s how they differ.
Short answer
trackBod a front-and-side photo scan that estimates body fat and rates muscle groups. ProgressLens is an AI progress photo app for iPhone and Android: it reads your photos together with your tape measurements, so its body-fat range stays steady, and every Progress Report says what changed, whether you’re losing fat or muscle, and whether to cut, lean bulk, recomp or maintain. Pick trackBod for a quick body fat and muscle rating from two photos on iPhone; pick ProgressLens to track whether it’s working and what to do next, on any phone, in 11 languages.

Choose trackBod if…
you want a quick body fat and muscle rating from two photos on iPhone.
Choose ProgressLens if…
you want to know whether your progress is working and what to do next: a steady body-fat range from photos plus tape, what changed since last time, a fat vs muscle check, and a clear cut or bulk verdict, on iPhone or Android, in your language, without an account.
Why photos plus tape beat a single scan
Photo-based body fat estimates move with lighting, pump, pose and clothing, so two scans a week apart can disagree by several points. In our analysis of Reddit posts, people quoting estimates from different AIs saw gaps of 2 to 8 points. ProgressLens anchors the photo read with the US Navy tape formula and your history, and the same photos always give the same result.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there an Android alternative?
Yes. ProgressLens runs on Android and iPhone with the same AI Progress Report on both.
Does ProgressLens rate muscle groups like trackBod?
No. It tells you what changed area by area and whether you’re losing fat or muscle, rather than scoring each muscle.
