Hi,
i can’t understand the difference between the free and the premium account.
Which are the “many more premium features” ?
i don’t need plan or coach jack, because i already have my personal coach who set up on training peaks the workouts.
I Only need the app to run TP workouts and automatically synch the workout with Strava and TP.
That said, I still think it’s worth paying this small fee to support the product, hoping that the contributions are invested in the development of the platform.
Yes, you are right and thanks. I should improve that pricing clarification. But as you can see you are limited to 20-free workouts in our training app if you don’t have premium. This means you can’t use TP calendar workouts with out the premium option. Strava sync is free. Hope that helps. Once you upgrade and connect to TP in our webapp and turn on the WOD feature you will see the next few days of TP workouts on the plan tab in our app.
There is video here showing WOD feature. You also need to press refresh in our app after upgrading from the web site.

in the free plan, the 20-workout included - does it include the workouts i create for myself ?
I’m on the paid version but am curious never the less. The blurb on the website suggests the limitations are in the app. Does this limitation extend to the ride now option in the desktop product?
Also, the blurb suggests access to thousands of free community workouts. Am I correct in saying these can be downloaded and copied to training peaks to be WOD or dropped into zwift?
Also for clarity, are we saying that workouts created outside trainerday cannot be “pushed” to the free version so as to use the app to control the trainer?
If so, in terms of the OP, the best solution would be to push the workout from Training Peaks to Garmin etc head unit that can provide trainer control would it not?
You can only use the 20 included workouts in the app, nothing else so ride now will not work, no workouts ONLY the 20. I tried to make that as clear as possible after other people were confused, see below.
A creative workout builder can design and execute an unlimited number of workout variations in real time as they are riding in our app even in the free version by merging workouts together and using the + - and skip feature with auto-extend turned on. Really I bet you could build any of the 20k workouts we have while riding by merging and skipping in real time, it just would require some focus and creative thinking.
You can download the workouts but TP does not have an upload feature so you must upload to a Zwift folder on your PC (lots of info of this with google) and restart or start zwift.
With the free version you also don’t get sync to strava but you can download the finished activity and upload it yourself.
There is no easy way to get custom workouts into TP other than via paid TrainerDay, so pushing to Garmin from TP is not a viable solution unless you buy a TP training plan for example. Paid TD is the cheapest and easiest way that I know of to get workouts on to Garmin.
Does that help and make it clearer?
As for paid version - have you ever considered lifetime option? This is by no means directed at you personally, just in general - I don’t like that everything these days has to be subscription model. I would love to pay few more bucks for lifetime version and have lesser expectations of new features.
I hate, hate, hate subscriptions!!! So I fully understand. I avoid them as much as possible. So as the customer I understand it 100%. There are hidden disadvantages for you as the customer that are not so obvious.
A problem is, if you have a price such that makes sense to the customer than after 5 years or so most or many of your customers can have a lifetime license and you don’t have much income so at that point the software starts to die or at least slows down, you have much more un predictable growth…
So it feels like businesses gain the most from subscriptions but ultimately in most cases the customer does too because the business can be healthier via more consistent income. You can see in our case we have very low prices so it’s not like we are making a killing.
Again, I fully get it. I was trying to come up with a package for $500 including a re-sellable lifetime license and pro level bike fitting and some other stuff but ultimately gave up on it.
I am guessing most people are not coming to us looking to spend $500 but obviously for us, then it makes a lot of sense.
I honestly don’t mind the monthly membership. I can probably find other free apps, but Alex and everyone involve in trainerday provide amazing support.
It is not a greedy price. I honestly wouldn’t mind paying even if I wasn’t using Coach Jack. I hope more people subscribe so we can all support trainerday and team. That way you can all keep making further improvements.
Thanks, Alex and team making trainerday happen 
Thanks so much. We are growing very fast so if this winter looks like the last years we will be on the road to being a very healthy company. It’s so much fun to help cyclists such as yourself. I am living the dream.
Summer 2025, and this is still confusing.
30,000 downloadable workouts, but the mobile app is limited to 20 included workouts?
Am I going to have access to 30,000 workouts or 20?
30,000 downloadable means just that (download the workout files). We would love to make that more clear if you have any ideas. If we let everyone use our app for free we would not be in business. You can use these workouts for free in mywhoosh for example. We try to be as clear as possible but have no idea how to state it more clearly.
You can have all the 30,000 workouts for free.
You need some way of using them - a workout player.
The TrainerDay app is a superb workout player and much, much more too.
If you want to use it for free, it comes bundled with 20 workouts included.
To use the app’s full features, including using it to play any of the other 29,980 workouts, you have to become a subscriber.
As a recent subscriber who is kicking himself for not subscribing sooner, I will add this:
The HR+ workout option is worth the subscription on its own.

The Coach Jack Plan Builder is worth the subscription on its own.
https://trainerday.com/coach-jack/
The workout creator is one of the best around.
And @Alex has one of the fairest refund schemes I have ever seen. In the very rare cases where I have seen someone on the forums / reddit / socials saying they don’t think their subscription is right for them, he is quick to offer an immediate cancellation with no penalty. It is clear that he only wants satisfied customers and isn’t looking to tie anyone into a subscription that they don’t want.
Whilst the free option is great - the 20 workouts that are included do have enough variety to keep you occupied - if you are even slightly serious about improving your cycling fitness and performance, spending $4.99 to try the TrainerDay functionality for a month is great value.
The Trainer Day value for the money is best on the market for paid cycling apps in my opinion,
Dave
Wow 
So nice. I agree with you completely
Thanks Dave.
TD is cheap, you get lots of quick support from Alex and his DEV team and I couldn’t be happier with the results…
Glad I chose TD right from the beginning of my indoor cycling career…
Trust me, try it for 1 month and you will be hooked…
Ciao,
Erik Il Rosso
I also want to add that i started with MyWoosh because i am also a gamer so i thought the gamification will motivate me.
It wasn’t to be honest. In TD you will find motivation because of the community and specially the quick and in depth answers from Alex.
Actually the quick reactions and long, detailed answers from Alex (the Dev) are worth the subscription without using the App at all.
