Boostcamp
Boostcamp fits lifters who want a ready-made routine and a detailed training log in the same app. Its free offering is notably generous for creating custom programs, while Pro targets intermediate and advanced lifters seeking deeper analytics and coach plans. Offline sessions help when a connection is unavailable. Confirm that point before choosing it for wrist-based workouts.
- The catalog exceeds 11,000 programs across varied goals and experience levels.
- Unlimited multi-week program creation is available at no cost.
- Logs RPE, RIR, sets, reps and weights with rest and plate tools.
TrainingPeaks
TrainingPeaks suits endurance athletes who want a structured calendar and detailed load analysis, and coaches who need athlete-management tools. The free tier is a way to view the service, but serious planning, device workout sync, comparisons, and several analysis tools sit in Premium. Check your device path before paying, especially if your records live in Strava or you need a personal API project. The annual Premium option lowers the monthly equivalent, while coaching tiers add human contact and custom planning.
- Plans, records, and endurance analysis share one calendar.
- Garmin Connect activities can sync automatically.
- Premium includes planned-workout device sync and analysis tools.
Round by round
Paid plan price and trial
Boostcamp’s annual Pro plan is $59.99 a year, shown as $4.99 a month, with a 7-day free trial. Its monthly Pro plan is $14.99 and has no trial. TrainingPeaks Premium Athlete is $134.99 a year, shown as $11.25 a month, with a 14-day trial, or $19.95 when billed monthly.

What the free plans include
Boostcamp Free includes 11,000+ programs, the full tracker, and unlimited custom programs without a cap. Its listed plan says there is no trial period because the plan is free. TrainingPeaks Basic Athlete is free but provides limited workout viewing and upload, plus free endurance and strength content, with fewer features than paid accounts. The facts give Boostcamp more detail and fewer stated limits for free strength-program use, so Boostcamp wins this round.

Training and analysis features
Boostcamp focuses on strength training. It logs sets, reps, weights, RPE and RIR, offers rest timers and a plate calculator, tracks personal records and estimated one-rep-max curves, and can adjust working weights. Pro adds a Strength Score and muscle-volume heatmap. TrainingPeaks focuses on endurance planning and analysis, with workout, lap and split analysis, training-load charts, Peak Performance notifications, structured workouts, and Performance Management Charts for fitness, fatigue and form. Each has deeper tools for a different training type, so the facts do not separate them overall.
Program and workout creation
Boostcamp lets users build unlimited multi-week programs, fork existing routines, add exercises, and edit plans in a spreadsheet-style web creator with keyboard shortcuts and duplicated days or weeks. TrainingPeaks lets users build plans, use an Annual Training Plan, drag and drop workouts, and create structured workouts based on heart rate and pace. A TrainingPeaks reviewer described its interface as intuitive, while Boostcamp’s creator has specific editing controls. The facts describe different creation approaches rather than a clear overall winner, so this round is a tie.
Device and app integrations
TrainingPeaks says it works with hundreds of devices and apps, including Garmin, Apple, Zwift, Wahoo, Suunto, Polar, WHOOP and COROS. Garmin activities can sync automatically, and eligible planned workouts can sync to Garmin Connect. Boostcamp lists Apple Health bodyweight synchronization and an iOS Apple Watch companion for heart-rate and active-calorie integration, but its own pages conflict on whether an Apple Watch app is currently available. TrainingPeaks has the broader and clearer integration record, so it wins.

Supported platforms
Boostcamp lists Android, iOS, web and API access. TrainingPeaks lists Android, iOS, macOS, web, Windows and API access, and its Virtual product has stated Windows and macOS requirements. Both provide mobile and web access, but TrainingPeaks adds desktop operating-system support in the listed platforms.

Customer support
Boostcamp lists a support email address, [email protected]. TrainingPeaks directs customers to a Help Center covering athlete, coach, device-sync, billing, training-analysis and Virtual topics. It also offers AI assistance and human ticket support targeted at one business day. The facts give TrainingPeaks more support channels and a stated response target, while Boostcamp lists direct email contact. TrainingPeaks wins on the documented support options.

API access and developer use
Boostcamp has a public, unofficial asynchronous Python client for retrieving workout history, programs and dashboard statistics. The project is reverse-engineered, unaffiliated, requires Python 3.8 or newer and aiohttp, and identifies no official SDK or developer documentation. TrainingPeaks provides a public API for approved commercial fitness applications and devices. It can read profiles, zones, workouts, calendar events and metrics, and push planned events, workouts, completed files and metrics. Access requests usually receive an answer in 7–10 days, but personal projects are not allowed. TrainingPeaks wins for documented official capability.
