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

Zwift

  • It requires a smart trainer, smart bike or footpod, so the total cost includes hardware that can run into hundreds of dollars before the subscription starts.
  • Its game-like focus on avatars and social riding means the training structure is less rigorous than a purpose-built training tool like TrainerRoad.
  • Zwift now sells its own hardware, so buyers researching a trainer need to separate Zwift-branded gear from third-party options that also work with the platform.
  • The virtual world and graphics require reasonably capable hardware to run smoothly, unlike a data-only training app.
  • Races and group rides depend on other users being online at the same time, so value drops in off-peak hours or less popular time zones.
