ProCoach AI is an AI coach for everyone who stays active. Cycling, running, swimming, strength, walking, tennis, padel, yoga or pilates: connect your devices, bring your data together and let your coach plan, analyze and chat with you. **Start free, upgrade if you want** The app is fully usable for free. Pro adds a smarter, more capable AI coach, a personal training plan up to your target day, a detailed coach report and an ad-free experience. **Today speaks your sport** • Today takes your sport's colour, with a card for your last 7 days, streaks and milestone badges for running, swimming, tennis, padel, strength, yoga and pilates. • Walking is your main sport? A Steps card shows steps, distance, resting heart rate and sleep in plain words. • Light or dark, your sport's colour or any of nine colours in Settings → Theme. **An AI coach that knows your numbers** • Ask ProCoach: chat about training, recovery and form. Answers come from your own sleep, HRV, form and goals, in your sport's language, and it remembers the chat. • Ask for a workout and get a ready-made session. Turn on Think deeper (Pro) when a question is tough. • A short coach report on Today in plain words, with Read Aloud if you'd rather listen. • A readable review of every session, and a notification the moment a workout lands. **AI writes your plan. One tap sends it to your calendar.** • Target Day plan (Pro): name the day you're training for, a race, an event or a personal goal. The first 4 weeks come session by session, and every Sunday a quick check-in adds the next week. • Target Day asks what matters for your sport: distance and target time for runs, metres for swims, court time for tennis and padel. • Workout targets stay inside the right training zone, with pace targets for runs. • One tap sends this week's sessions to your Garmin calendar or Apple Watch. On iOS 17 or later, a workout your coach wrote in chat can go straight to your Apple Watch. • See how closely you followed the last 7 days, based on the sessions you actually sent. Missed a key session? One tap reschedules it. • Choose "Race" for a race-day plan with pacing, fuelling and a night-before checklist. **Sleep and recovery, explained** • Readiness Score: HRV, sleep, resting heart rate and form in one 0–100 score with a clear recommendation. It updates through the day as you train, walk or nap. • Sleep has its own tab: last night, your 7-night average and your usual bed and wake times. • Sleep analysis reads last night first, then your week, and tells you what to do tonight (once a day on the free plan). • No HRV from your device? Enter it by hand. **For cyclists** • A power curve with ProCoach's FTP estimate from your heart rate and power, training load from a Bluetooth power meter, and structured workouts for your Garmin (ERG mode on Tacx/compatible devices). **Connect your sources** • ProCoach needs one data source to get started: Garmin, Strava, Apple Health or Google Health. • Choose which source provides each data type; the same activity is never counted twice. • Automatic history import on connect + continuous sync. Today opens instantly, even offline. **On your wrist and Home Screen** • Apple Watch app: your Readiness Score, form and coach's note on your wrist. • iPhone widgets: your Readiness Score, today's planned workout and your coach's note on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, refreshed in the background. • Workouts you record on your Watch, plus heart rate, HRV, resting heart rate, sleep and calories, arrive through Apple Health. **Privacy** • Your health data is never sold or shared for ads. • Only numeric metrics (no name/location) are processed for AI analysis. • See the in-app Privacy Policy and Health Data documents for details. **Important:** ProCoach AI is a training tool, not a medical device, and does not provide medical advice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GearSense at none against ProCoach AI's 2. GearSense also leads on ads (none vs shown). ProCoach AI's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
