Ganos: the spark inside you that says go. Everyone has moments when they need a push. Before the workout, before the pitch, before the hard conversation, at 3pm when the day gets heavy. Ganos gives you a coach for exactly those moments: one who knows your name and your goals, speaks in their own voice, and shows up every morning. This isn't a quote library. Your coach is an AI character, personalized to you, who remembers what you're working toward. YOUR COACH Twelve coaches, each with their own face, voice and style. Pick the one who fits you, and they tune how they push you to the way you like to be coached. ONE SMALL THING A DAY Every morning your coach sends you a message with one thing to do today. Something small you can actually finish. When it's done, tap Did it. That's a win. JOURNEYS THAT BUILD REAL HABITS Go deeper with a journey: 14 or 21 days toward one goal, a two-minute session with your coach each day. Sales, leadership, fitness, sleep, focus and more. WATCH YOUR GANOS GROW Every win builds your ganos, your score. Climb seven levels, from bronze up. Keep your streak, earn big wins, and share the moments you're proud of. FACE TO FACE Talk it through on a live video call with Sol, your AI live coach, who listens, answers and remembers your goals. Nervous before a big meeting? Talk it out first. MORE • Home screen and lock screen widgets, with Did it right there • Share cards and your ganos photo • Journeys, wins and levels that keep you coming back • Sign in with Apple • Private notifications, if you want your goals off your lock screen CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL • Free: any of the 12 coaches in their own voice, 3 daily motivations, 1 goal, a free 2-minute live call • Plus: your coach on video every morning, every goal and journey, 50 messages a day, 5 live minutes a month • Pro: everything in Plus, 45 live minutes a month face to face, a weekly deep session, check-ins from your coach • Extra live minutes on any plan: packs of 10, 30 or 60 Ganos coaches are AI characters.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Ganos at daily against Thenics's every 3 weeks. Ganos also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Thenics's advantage is ratings volume (994 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thenics sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Ganos sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ganos holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thenics has 994 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Thenics's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ganos's.
Thenics ships an update every 3 weeks, Ganos daily. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
