The short version

  • Only My PT Hub has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: My PT Hub starter plan is capped at just 3 clients and 50 workouts for $25 per month; unlimited clients require the Premium plan at $59 per month, as of August 2026; TrainerRoad it requires a smart trainer or a power meter to get meaningful structured workout control, so it is not usable out of the box without that hardware.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

My PT Hub

  • Starter plan is capped at just 3 clients and 50 workouts for $25 per month; unlimited clients require the Premium plan at $59 per month, as of August 2026
  • A custom branded mobile app costs an additional $95 one-time fee, and a white label app costs $145 per month on top of the base plan, as of August 2026

TrainerRoad

  • It requires a smart trainer or a power meter to get meaningful structured workout control, so it is not usable out of the box without that hardware.
  • Its lack of a virtual world or social layer means riders who need gamified motivation to stay consistent indoors may find it demotivating.
  • There is no free tier, only a money-back guarantee window rather than a true free trial period.
  • Pricing has increased over time according to user forum discussion, so a buyer should confirm the current figure directly rather than relying on an older cited price.
  • It is entirely cycling-focused, offering nothing for running, strength or other sports the way some broader fitness apps do.
