Transparency: This article is written by TrainingForever, who competes with TrainingPeaks. That is why we link each data to the official website of each platform, with the date when we consult it, and we also count on what is better TrainingPeaks. TrainingPeaks and their metrics are trademarks of their owner.
Short answer: To manage your athletes and your coach business, TrainingForever today goes further than TrainingPeaks: plan running, trail, cycling, swimming, triathlon and strength in the same plan, has an AI assistant who creates sessions and writes messages, session messaging, forms, tasks, schedule with reservations, clubs of various coaches and online payments with Stripe, and sends the workouts to your watch (Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Apple Watch, Coros...). It is free up to 5 athletes and never goes beyond €49 a month, and the athlete does not pay. TrainingPeaks remains stronger if you need its huge device ecosystem, its annual plan, its plan store or its virtual roller.
If you have already read our guide of alternatives to TrainingPeaks in Spanish, here we go face to face: what each platform offers, how much it costs with your number of athletes and in which cases we recommend you stay where you are.
How do TrainingForever and TrainingPeaks differ?
TrainingPeaks was born as a training and analytics platform for endurance sports and has grown as a large ecosystem: devices, plan store, athletes and roller simulator. TrainingForever has been built around the day to day coach: plan all disciplines in one plan, communicate with each athlete, automate repetitive work and manage payments, with an AI assistant that has the context of each athlete.
