Comparison

GRIT WOD Recorder vs WODProof

The short version: GRIT's WOD Recorder films your workout with the timer, a GRIT stamp, the date and time and a unique video ID burned into the video — free, with no account. WODProof is a full training platform with shareable competition links, cloud backup and programmes, on a paid membership. If you just want honest, timestamped proof of your WOD on your own phone, GRIT does it for nothing.
