Transparency: TrainingForever wrote this article, and we compete with Train2Go. That is why every figure links to the official page of the platform it comes from, with the date we checked it, and why we also spell out where Train2Go is the better fit. Train2Go is a trademark of its owner.
For a wider look at the market, read our guide to the best software for coaches or the comparisons TrainingForever vs TrainingPeaks, TrainingForever vs intervals.icu, TrainingForever vs Final Surge, TrainingForever vs Good Coach and TrainingForever vs Nolio. Here we put TrainingForever next to Train2Go: what each platform offers, what it costs at your athlete count, and when we would tell you to stay where you are.
How do TrainingForever and Train2Go differ?
Train2Go (T2GO) is a Spanish platform for endurance coaches and clubs, on the market since 2012. It plans micro, meso and macrocycles, handles communication and follow-up, with web access for the coach and iOS and Android apps for the athletes. It bills the coach in athlete tiers, from €11 to €77 a month, and it is free for up to 2 athletes. TrainingForever takes another path: one price per active athlete, free up to 5 and capped at €49. It also goes further in the coach’s day: you plan endurance and strength in the same plan, you work from the mobile app as well, you automate the work that repeats, you run a calendar with bookings and you manage payments, with an AI assistant that knows each athlete.

How much does each one cost?
On both, the coach pays and the athlete uses the app for free, and on both the price moves up or down on its own with your athletes. The difference is the jumps. On Train2Go you pay the tier that covers your athlete count: €11 up to 3, €22 up to 6, €33 up to 10, €44 up to 15, €55 up to 20, €66 up to 50 and €77 up to 100. With 2 athletes it is free, and every paid tier starts with 14 free days and no card. Prices include VAT. On TrainingForever it is free for up to 5 active athletes; from the sixth you pay €0.99 for each athlete who is active that month, capped at €49, VAT included for Spain.
| Athletes | Train2Go (EUR, VAT included) | TrainingForever (EUR, VAT included) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 athletes | €0 (Basic plan) | €0 |
| 3 athletes | €11 | €0 |
| 5 athletes | €22 | €0 |
| 10 athletes | €33 | €9.90 |
| 20 athletes | €55 | €19.80 |
| 30 athletes | €66 | €29.70 |
| 50 athletes | €66 | €49 (cap) |
| 100 athletes | €77 | €49 (cap) |
| More than 100 | Ask them | €49 (cap) |
Sources: Train2Go pricing and TrainingForever pricing. TrainingForever’s base fee comes out lower than Train2Go at every tier in the table from 3 athletes, and with 2 both are free. One nuance: on Train2Go the free plan and the tiers include every feature, while on TrainingForever some advanced features are optional Gems, billed monthly with no lock-in: AI assistant €4.99, Video €2.99, Business €3.99, Automations €2.99, Advanced analysis €3.99, Storage from €1.99, or the full pack for €12.99 a month. Even with every Gem, 30 athletes come to €42.69 a month. If you use an iPhone or iPad, the App Store price is different; these prices apply when you pay from a browser.
Where does TrainingForever go further?
TrainingForever is a platform for endurance and strength coaches and clubs that brings planning, communication, analysis and the business into one place: everything you expect from TrainingPeaks, and much more.
- A price that grows with you: free for up to 5 athletes (on Train2Go, up to 2) and never more than €49 a month, without tier jumps at 3, 6, 10, 15 or 20 athletes.
- The full platform on the phone as well: the coach has an iPhone and Android app with who needs attention, what is on today, the latest feedback and quick edits; on Train2Go the apps are for the athletes and the coach works from the web.
- An AI assistant that works with you inside the platform: it knows the file, the load, the calendar and your library. It creates sessions from a text, summarises the group’s load, shows who to look at first and drafts messages. It proposes and you decide. With MCP you can also work from ChatGPT or Claude.
- Sessions written the way you say them: “3 × 10′ at threshold with 2′ recovery” becomes steps with zones, from the phone as well.
- Strength and endurance in the same plan: blocks, supersets, circuits, %1RM, RPE/RIR and tempo, with a video exercise library, alongside running, trail, cycling, swimming and triathlon.
- Block periodisation with its load: blocks of several weeks (base, build, peak, recovery) with their load curve, reusable with another athlete by adjusting dates and thresholds, and Total Load (CT), Chronic Adaptation (AC), Acute Fatigue (FA) and Load Differential (DC) on the file.
- Automations, forms and tasks: “when this happens, do this” rules for onboarding, reminders and alerts. Wellness, post-session or intake forms that land on the file, included in the base plan. And a task list that fills itself.
- A calendar with bookings: meetings, video calls and your own training on the same calendar, synced with Google Calendar, and the athlete books from the phone in the slots you open.
- Payment management, end to end: monthly, block or per-session rates, online payments with Stripe (card or direct debit), invoices that go out on their own, reminders for unpaid fees, and revenue and cancellations on your dashboard.
- Workouts on the watch, with the brands named: sends workouts to the watch: Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Apple Watch, COROS and others.
- Seven languages: the website is in Spanish, English, French, Dutch, German, Italian and Portuguese, which helps if you coach athletes in other countries.
Where is Train2Go stronger?
It is worth saying plainly, because it can decide the choice:
- Your brand on the platform: you add your logo and your colours, and your athletes see them in their app as well.
- Every feature in every tier: there are no paid modules inside the fee; the free plan and each tier include every feature.
- Track record and a close relationship: it has been on the market since 2012, it is a Spanish company and it offers direct, unlimited support from its creators.
- Cycle planning with control over what the athlete sees: micro, meso and macrocycles with fitness peaks, and you choose how many days ahead each athlete can see while you work ahead.
- Education for coaches: workshops, mentoring and webinars, for example on strength for endurance sports or on how to quantify load.
- Practical details: a printable version of the workouts, a “third state” to mark a session done in part, and the option to deactivate an athlete for a while so they do not count toward the price.
