Difference between calories burned on fitbit and App exercises

I was working out with weights today and clicked the weight selection on my fitbit and after I was finished it said I burned 8 calories but when I put in the app what exercises I did and how many sets/reps it said I burned 20. I couldn't specify that I burned x amount according to my wearable. Anyone else have this problem with the discrepancy?

    It's all an estimate...that discrepancy is pretty insignificant.
