AI coach apps for trail and ultra running
Trail and ultra training needs vertical gain, time-on-feet and terrain in the plan rather than flat pace targets. This page lists the apps whose vendor names trail running or ultrarunning as a planned sport; most road-running coaches are not here because they do not state it.

Evidence mean is over the dimensions scored from public evidence; ties go to more dimensions scored, then the lower monthly price. Eligibility and tie-breaks.
AI Coaching Apps is made by the team behind YOUB. YOUB competes under the same rules and is shown in a shortlist only when a rule selects it. How this stays honest.

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.
