Tindeq Progressor Alternative: How Entralpi Compares
Last Updated:
Which smart dynamometer is right for you?
While Tindeq is built for overhead rigging and isometric pulls using carabiners, Entralpi is designed to turn your existing hangboard into a full training station with zero rigging. Plus, Entralpi's precision is validated by independent studies (0.41% accuracy), offering automated weakness diagnostics and full data exports via a portable ground force plate.
At a Glance: The Core Differences
| Feature | Entralpi | Tindeq Progressor |
|---|---|---|
| Form Factor | Ground Force Plate | Inline Pull Sensor |
| Zero Rigging or Mounting Needed? | Yes (Drop & Pull) | No (Needs Carabiners/Straps) |
| Works with ANY Hangboard? | Yes | No |
| Standalone Use (No App Required)? | Yes | No |
| Automated Weakness Diagnostics? | Yes | No |
| Measures Explosiveness (RFD)? | Yes | Yes |
| Validated Precision? | 0.41% (0.05kg) | 3kg |
| 100% Free App & Open Data Export? | Yes | Yes |
Battle 1
Is the Tindeq Progressor as precise as Entralpi?
- The Problem:
- The Tindeq validation study has shown differences between devices, which makes it hard to compare results reliably.
- The Entralpi Solution:
- Entralpi's precision is backed by independent scientific studies, showing a mean relative error of just 0.41% (0.05kg). You get a reliable comparison between devices every time.
Battle 2
Can I train on any hangboard or specific grip?
- The Problem:
- Inline sensors measure strength applied to a portable board. Those boards require setup, tend to move when pulling on them, and make it hard to have a standard training station. Tindeq limits you to these setups and it is not possible to train on a Beastmaker, a crack trainer, or specific grips.
- The Entralpi Solution:
- Entralpi sits on the floor. You step on it, grab your existing board, and pull. You have a full training station and can train jams in crack training systems or use any fixed hangboard.
Battle 3
How does the software and training ecosystem compare?
- The Problem:
- The Tindeq app only has basic features and lacks built-in training plans, leaving you to build your own workouts from scratch.
- The Entralpi Solution:
- The Entralpi App provides editable guided in-app training plans, fitness analysis, guided sessions and an automatic tracking of your progression over time.
Who Should Buy Which?
The honest verdict. We're not for everyone, and that's okay.
Choose Tindeq Progressor if:
- You want a portable force sensor that you can attach to your own slings, carabiners, and separate portable edges.
- You want to build your own training plans and workouts from scratch and are happy with simple access to data.
- You are satisfied with 3kg precision and will use the same device every time to compare.
Choose Entralpi if:
- You want a complete training station that you can easily set up at home, the gym, and on the road.
- You want editable guided in-app training plans, fitness analysis, guided sessions and an automatic tracking of your progression over time.
- You want a scientifically-validated device with 0.41% (0.05kg) precision and reliable comparison between devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Entralpi more accurate than the Tindeq Progressor?
While many devices claim to be accurate, the Tindeq Progressor has no published independent validation to verify their claims. Entralpi is built to scientific research standards and its precision is backed by independent scientific studies, showing a mean relative error of just 0.41% (0.05kg).
Can I use Entralpi if I already own a Tindeq Progressor?
Absolutely. Entralpi allows various measurements not possible with the tindeq. You have a full training station from your hangboards, can train jams in crack training systems, etc. Furthermore, Entralpi measures strength in closed kinetic chain which translates better to climbing and eliminates errors from pendulum swings or friction often associated with rigged inline sensors like the Tindeq.
Can I use Entralpi with open-source apps like Hangtime Grip Connect?
Yes. Entralpi supports standard Web Bluetooth protocols, allowing you to export raw data or connect to third-party climbing training applications.
Why is a ground force plate better than an inline pull scale for hangboarding?
A ground force plate requires zero setup. You don't need to adjust sling lengths, clip carabiners, or find a secure overhead anchor. Just place it on the floor beneath your existing board and pull.
Do I need to drill holes in my wall to use Entralpi?
Absolutely not. Entralpi works with your existing hangboard or portable blocks. Since the sensor is under your feet, your wall remains untouched.
