Feature-rich but complex coaching platform
Our Honest Take
PT Distinction has a lot of features, but the interface is complex and the learning curve is steep. Coaches often spend more time navigating the platform than actually coaching. Train App gives you the same capability with a far cleaner experience.

Unlimited on most plans
PT Distinction is known for its complexity — coaches often report a steep learning curve. Train App is designed to be intuitive from day one, so you spend less time on the platform and more time coaching.
PT Distinction starts at around £27/mo. Train App starts at £19.99/mo with a 14-day free trial included. Both offer similar core features, but Train App adds AI voice nutrition and cycle-aware coaching that PT Distinction doesn't have.
PT Distinction does not currently offer AI voice nutrition logging or AI-powered data import. These are unique to Train App and significantly reduce the admin burden for both coaches and clients.
