The coach that tells you why. Every plan app adjusts. Treadly is the running coach that tells you why each run is there, puts every change to you before it makes it, and keeps a record of how its calls held up. The way a human coach would, on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Every run has a reason. Today's run says why it exists. Trimmed to 4.2 miles at readiness 36. Eased twenty seconds a mile for the heat. Every number that comes from the research opens to the paper behind it, and the week header shows the climb cap out loud. Readiness comes from your sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate in Apple Health. Coach calls. A bad night, a heat wave, a missed run, a sore knee. The coach proposes a change and waits. Accept or undo. Hurt, sick, or life keeps your streak safe. If a change would be too small to notice, it does not ask at all. A coach on the record. Every call and your answer go on the record. "You took the ease-day call 8 times. Next runs averaged B+." Called vs ran grades the coach's own pace calls against what you ran. Your race confidence comes with a finish window that narrows as race day nears, and locks two weeks out so you cannot cram. Someone can see your run. Free. Add up to three safety contacts. When you run, they can follow a live page that opens in any browser, no app and no account. Slide for SOS on your phone, your watch, or the Lock Screen and they hear first, with your location and your local emergency number one tap away. If your phone goes silent, they get a text, and one more when you are back. On race day, make a link from your race letter and send it to anyone: they see where you are on the course and your projected finish. The run itself. Treadly records the run, on your watch or just your phone. Two real voices in your ear, never a robot. Pace and heart-rate zones on your wrist, reps counted as you run them, and auto-pause that waits for you. If you live on Strava, Garmin, or COROS, connect once and it all flows in. Plans for any race. 5K to marathon, from your pace today. Compare coaching approaches with real numbers before you commit. Strength days live on the plan too, timed from your wrist. New to running? Your first month on the ladder is free. Shoes, free forever. Every pair gets a role. Treadly spreads the miles so shoes wear out on schedule instead of by surprise, and tells you when one is done. Run with people. Send a run to a friend and it lands on both plans, your long run included. They get two weeks of Pro when they join. Pair with one partner who sees the shape of your week and hears when a run goes by. What is free, what is Pro. Shoes, readiness, the science library, and safety contacts are free. The coach's calls, the record, inviting a friend, and a partner are Pro, after a 14-day trial that starts with your first run. $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Treadly depends on your phone's signal and battery and is not a substitute for emergency services. Coaching is grounded in published training science and is not medical advice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Treadly at every 4 days against RidePlan's every 4 weeks. Treadly also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Treadly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and RidePlan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Treadly against 5.0 for RidePlan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Treadly has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Treadly ships an update every 4 days, RidePlan every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
