- What is the best free AI running coach?
- TrainAsONE. The pricing page lists a £0 tier and a Premium tier at £9.99 a month or £99 a year. Runsy lets you read plans and calculators on the website for free, and charges for the adaptive coach in the app. Runna's week is a trial, then $119.99 a year. A 7-day trial is not a free coach.

- For a US price and a race-day app on both phone platforms, Runna is ranked first. TrainAsONE is second because the free tier is real and Premium is cheaper in pounds than Runna's US month.

- Do these apps replace a coach or a doctor?
