Before you choose
Starting with a free plan
Thirty-three of the 54 apps have a free plan. Examples include Final Surge, TrainingPeaks, Garmin Connect, Hevy, MapMyRide and wger Workout Manager.
A free plan is different from a trial. TrainingPeaks lists a 14-day trial alongside its free plan; ABC Trainerize lists 30 days, and Boostcamp lists seven days.
Comparing paid access
Check the maker's published paid-from price and billing term. Final Surge lists $6.58 per user each month on an annual plan; TrainingPeaks lists $11.25 per user each month annually; JEFIT lists $12.99 per month.
Other listed starting prices include $9 per month for ABC Trainerize, $11.99 for ASICS Runkeeper, $4.99 monthly on an annual plan for Boostcamp, $6.99 for Garmin Connect and $19 for FirstRep.
Matching your devices
The list covers Android for 51 apps, iOS for 50, web for 38, API access for 12, macOS for seven and Windows for three. Check the platforms you use before choosing.
Wearable sync is one of the comparison fields. The wrist score also records named watch families when an app's own pages identify them.
Training alone or with a coach
Workout programming, progress tracking, exercise libraries and coach tools are separate comparison fields. Use the fields that match how you train rather than assuming every app handles them in the same way.
My PT Hub is listed with its maker, My PT Hub, headquartered in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, United Kingdom, and founded in 2015.
