Free AI coaching apps
A free AI coach is usually an open-source project, an intervals.icu add-on run by one developer, or the free tier of a paid app. This page lists the apps whose vendor states a free product or a permanent free tier; time-limited trials do not count.
Free rarely means unlimited: the vendor's own pricing page is linked from every entry.

How this index works
- Facts, cited. Sports, AI level, thirteen coaching capabilities, devices, price: each from the vendor's own page, linked and dated.
- Scores, from evidence. Eight coaching dimensions, 1 to 5, each citing a public page. No evidence, no score: a blank is not a low mark.
- Rules, not opinions. Every shortlist is the printed output of a rule over the data, recomputed on every build. Nobody picks a winner.
Every fact on this page links to the vendor page that states it on the app's own page. Scores follow the published rubric. The compare page shows all eight scored dimensions side by side.
